They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North Pole and the South Pole are not as similar as people may imagine. The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 0°C. Most of the time, it stays below zero. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Matthew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on April 6th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈）on foot. They may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道）called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 9. (  ) According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago? A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. B. Temperatures in the North Pole went above 0°C. C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse. D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. 10. (  ) What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean? A. With terrible weather.B. Full of danger.C. Full of difficulties.D. With no people living there.11. (  ) Why does the ice break into two opening lanes of water? A. Because the temperature suddenly drops.B. Because the water under the ice is frozen.C. Because the ocean water under the ice moves.D. Because the surface is covered with lots of ice. 12. (  ) What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The thick ice in the North Pole. B. A difficult trip to the North Pole. C. The real situation in the North Pole. D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole. D“If you need to send messages or e-mails or do something on your phone, do it now,” the tour guide said over the loudspeaker. Everyone laughed and took out the phones. Minutes later, the train reached the snowy mountain area, and our phones lost a signal （信号）. The next morning, as the sun rose over the land, I woke up on the train and went into the sightseeing（观光）area. A guide drank his morning coffee and called out over the loudspeaker, “There’s a huge bird! And see those horses!”Soon the train passed by a large lake and went deep through the mountains. The mountain walls were so close. I stood up many times to get a closer look. I was so excited that I wished I could open the window and reach out to feel those snowy stones! By evening, when we reached the plains（平原）, the guide asked cheerfully, “If anyone has a guitar, bring it to the sightseeing area and let’s have a party!” A passenger took a harmonica（口琴）out of her pocket and began to play, and someone else brought a guitar to join her. The joyful music mixed with people’s talks. “You know, the happy time makes me love this world again,” said the man sitting next to me. It turned out that you didn’t need a mobile signal to make a connection.13. (  ) Which picture can describe Paragraph 3 best?14. (  ) What is the correct order of the following events? ①saw some animals②had a party③passed by a lake④ reached the mountain areaA. ③②①④ B. ③①④②C. ④③①② D. ④①③②15. (  ) What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Passengers sang and danced on the train.B. The guide could play the guitar well.C. People could still have fun even without a signal.D. The man sitting next to the writer lost his phone.16. (  ) What could be the best title for the passage?A. A Surprising ViewB. A Nice Trip with FriendsC. A Special Train JourneyD. A Special Party with Music  第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。When we talk about an object, we might say it’s round, square, or soft. But when we describe the face of the earth, we use the word “landform（地貌）”. 17.     There are many different kinds of landforms, including big mountains, soft hills and flat lands.18.      Each landform has its own uniqueness（独特性）.The force of nature formed the landform. This force could be wind, water, ice and so on. And it usually takes a very long time to form it. 19.      For example, you may see many plains. The plain used to be a plateau or a high hill, but as time passed, water and wind turned the plateau or the high hill into a plain.Another beautiful landform formed by water is a delta（三角洲）. And there are hills and mountains. A hill is raised land, while a mountain is usually higher with a top. Most mountains are like towers.
