In 1997,a group of twenty British women made history.Working in five teams with four women in each team,they walked to the North Pole.Apart from one experienced female guide,the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same few spring months of that year.
Once on the ice,each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos.This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface,but for long stretches(一片地域),the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn’t crash.The temperature was always below freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible.It was also very difficult to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometres a day.But there was another problem.Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift(漂流) back more than five kilometres during the night.That meant that after walking in these very terrible conditions for ten hours on one day,they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.Furthermore,each day it would take three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.
So,how did they manage to succeed?They realised that they were part of a team.If any one of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done,she would endanger the success of the whole expedition(远征探险).Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted,so personal feelings had to be put to one side.At the end of their journey,the woman agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
4.What was so extraordinary about the expedition?
A.It was a new experience for most of the women.
B.The women did not have any men with them.
C.The women had not met one another before.

Following Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize,the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again.A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of the Shanghai dialect(方言).
Published in 2012,the 350,000-word Blossoms is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years,drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people.There is no main story like most novels,but every story in it could run independently.While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today,Jin’s use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.
“I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other.Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form.I want to be special with my own language,”Jin told the GlobalTimes.
In the novel,Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis.He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks(引号),showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben(话本) genre.
Since its publication,the book has been widely recommended on some blog sites with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of the dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.
Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect.The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.
“I’d like to see more writers to follow my lead.It will enrich our literature and make it diverse,”he said.
8.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A.The Chinese literary circle is always silent.
B.Mo Yan was surprised at Jin Yucheng’s new novel.
C.The novel represents a modern lifestyle in Shanghai.
D.The stories in the novel aren’t linked to each other.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Thereisnomainstorylikemostnovels,buteverystoryinitcouldrunindependently.”可知,《繁花》没有像大多数小说那样有一个主要故事,但它的每一个故事都可以独立成篇。据此可知,这部小说中的故事并没有互相联系,故选D项。
9.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“monotonous”inparagraph3mean?
A.Lackinginvariety.
B.Shortofexpectations.
C.Wantingfurtherimprovement.
D.Requiringmoreconsideration.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句可知,金宇澄认为中国的很多小说看上去彼此相似;再结合该段第三句中的Iwanttobespecialwithmyownlanguage可知,他想要用自己的语言让自己的小说有特色。据此可推知画线词与A项含义相近。
10.HowdoesJinYuchengmakeabreakthroughinhisnewnovel?

For many years,Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before.He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare,exotic species.
That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality.
In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rainforest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region.“As time was limited,we were dropped in by helicopter.Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere;it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.
Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters—the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.
The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise,20 frogs,four butterflies,and five palms.“We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls.“Everywhere we looked,we saw amazing things we had never seen before.” 
The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists.Two long-nosed echidnas—primitive egg-laying mammals—let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.
Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before.“In almost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food,and because of this,they are very cautious of people,” he explains.“This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”
Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.
Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely.They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species.“We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says.“Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”
12.Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?
A.Adventurous. B.Cautious.
C.Optimistic. D.Careful.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,BruceBexler梦想去人类从未到过的地方,开辟一条未经探索的路并且发现罕见的奇异物种。因此可以推断BruceBexler是一个具有冒险精神的(adventurous)人。故选A项。
13.WhatdoesBruceBexlermeaninparagraph5whenhesays“Wewerelikekidsinacandystore”?
A.Theydidn’thaveenoughfoodandwerehungry.
B.Theywereveryexcitedaboutwhattheysaw.
C.Theyweremisbehavinglikenaughtychildren.
D.Theyknewthatiftheykeptsearching,they’dfindsugarintheforest.
答案:B
解析:句意理解题。根据第五段中的“Everywherewelooked,wesawamazingthingswehadneverseenbefore.”可知,他们对之前从未见过的事物感到惊奇。因此Wewerelikekidsinacandystore指的是BruceBexler在这个杳无人烟的地方因为发现了许多未曾见过的新物种而非常兴奋,就像糖果店里的孩子一样。故选B项。
14.Whydidsomeoftheanimalsallowthescientiststopickthemup?
A.Thescientistsseemedtobeveryfriendly.
B.Thescientistswereskilledinhandlinganimals.
C.Theanimalshadbeenwell-trainedbythelocalpeople.
D.Theanimalshadnoexperienceorfearofpeople.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Bexlerthinkstheanimalsweren’tscaredbecausetheyhadneverseenhumansbefore.”可知,一些动物允许科学家把它们抱起来是因为它们之前没有见过人类,它们不害怕人类。故选D项。
15.WhatcanweconcludeabouttheareaBruceBexlerexplored?
A.Thebestwaytoexploretheareaisbyhelicopter.
B.Thelocalsliveinthecentreoftheforest.
C.Theareastillcontainsmanyplantsandanimalsunknowntoscience.
D.Thelocalsareunwillingtoallowthescientiststoenterthedeepwoods.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Theyhopetoreturnandexpecttorecordmanymoreundiscoveredspecies.”可知,他们希望还能回到这个地区并期待发现、记录更多未被发现的物种。故选C项“这个地区仍然有很多科学上未知的动植物”。

We can do our bit in this battle!I’d like to share what I have done in the past months.To help prevent the virus from spreading,I have responded to the government’s call and stayed at home with my families.While keeping an eye on the situation,I have been studying with the help of the online courses offered by our school.Communicating with my teachers and classmates online,I have never felt lonely.Besides,I have kept on doing some inside sports to keep fit and helped my mum with the housework.
Not going out is my way to fight the virus.Thinking of the medical staff,we have no reason not to discipline ourselves.We need to thank them and at the same time,treasure our life.
Please take care of yourself.Keep calm and carry on!
Yours,

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
It was somewhere between spring and summer,and my mum and I were driving through the countryside.Back then,I was 13 years old,and always felt unhappy with Mum.But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat,whose heavenly scent filled the car.
Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mum pulled over.“What are you doing?” I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.But that wasn’t the case.My mum hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mum reappeared,empty-handed.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there?” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist.”“What?” She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we continued our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank you for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mum’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down!Nothing could be worse,because neither my mum nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by,since we had seen so few along the way.

Wewereworryingaboutwhatcouldbedone.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mum and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help.Who knows how far we had driven!When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it.While we were laughing and talking merrily,the garage got our car repaired.
Aswedrovealong,aflowershopcameintosightontheroad.I paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mum the sweet flowers.Soon,the heavenly scent filled the car again.Mum tried to cover her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.
This was the trip of my life.
