the effects of global warming？Then head north.Recent studies indicate that the North Pole could be underwater during the summer in less than 10 years，instead of coated in thick sea ice.But seeing the Arctic terrain(地形)up close isn't easy，unless you're handy with a dogsled.Will Steger is going to take all of us there.Steger，64，is a legendary polar explorer.He was the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole，and is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming.He saw its effects first hand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic.Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1，400­mile，60­day­long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island，in the Canadian Arctic.The sea ice in that region should still be frozen.“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming，”says Steger.The team will be uploading videos，stories and photos to the website as they march along，allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day.Steger's team will include some already­famous young explorers.Sam Branson，the 22­year­old son of British airline tycoon(大亨)Richard Branson，is an experienced Arctic traveler.Also on the journey will be 27­year­old Norwegian Sigrid Ekran.Last year，Ekran became only the second woman in history to win Rookie(新秀)of the Year for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.What they will see may be surprising.Even Steger doesn't know exactly what to expect.Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic.“Within a decade or less，it's going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team，without flotation(漂浮)，”says Steger.1We can learn from Paragraph 1 that climate change_Ahappens only in the far northBis obvious and serious in the North PoleCis going to be the biggest issue facing menDis the result of polluting on the earth解析：推理判断题。第1段提到看“effects of global warming”的地方是北极，并且“the North Pole could be underwater during the summer in less than 10 years”，由此可推知气候变化在北极很严重，并且其危害也很明显。答案：B2It can be inferred that the aim of the dogsled trip is to _Aencourage the Arctic explore among young peopleBrepresent the Arctic terrain for the geography classCstudy the cause of climate change in polar regionsDraise awareness of the damage that climate change is causing on polar regions解析：推理判断题。根据“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming”，以及后面提到的会在网上让观众看到北极的景象，可以推出D为答案。答案：D3Which of the following statements on Steger's team is RIGHT?ASteger，the leader，is also an environmental expert.BSam Branson，a member，is skillful at Arctic traveling.CEkran，a member，is the second woman who has reached the North Pole.DAll the members are experienced Arctic explorer.解析：细节事实理解题。据“Sam Branson.is an experienced Arctic traveler”可知B正确。答案：B4Why does Steger NOT know what they will see during their trip？Because_Ait will be the first time for him to go that far in the northBthe sea ice in that region should still be frozenCthe geography there has changed thanks to warmer temperaturesDthey will go there floating instead of sledding4解析：细节事实理解题。根据“Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic”可知C正确。答案：CArthur Miller was born on October 17th，1915 and died on February 10th，2005.Over the course of seven decades of literature career，Arthur Miller created some of the most memorable stage plays in American Literature.He is the author of Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. Born and raised in Manhattan，Miller witnessed the best and the worst of American society.Arthur Miller's childhood：His father was a productive shop­keeper and clothing manufacturer(制作商) until the Great Depression fired up nearly all business opportunities.Yet，despite being faced with poverty，Miller made the best of his childhood.He was a very active young man，in love with such sports as football and baseball.When he wasn't playing outside，he enjoyed reading adventure stories. He was also kept busy by his many boyhood jobs.He often worked alongside his father.During other times in his life，he delivered bakery goods and worked as a clerk in a car parts warehouse.College life：In 1934，Miller left the east coast to attend the University of Michigan.He was accepted into their school of journalism.His experiences during the Depression made him skeptical (怀疑的) about religion.Politically，he began leaning towards the “Left”And since the theater was the cutting edge way for socio­economic liberals (自由主义者) to express their views，he decided to enter the Hopwood Drama competition.His first play，No Villain, received an award from the university.It was an impressive beginning for the young playwriter；he had never studied plays or playwriting，and he had written his play in just five days!Miller's later years：In 1987，his autobiography was published.Many of his later plays dealt with personal experience.In particular，his final play，Finishing the Picture mirrors the last days of his marriage to Marilyn Monroe.In 2005，Arthur Miller passed away at the age of 89.5What can we know about Arthur Miller from Paragraph 2?AHe was born into a poor family.BHis father wasn't good at business.CHe couldn't adjust himself to poverty.DHe had to do lots of jobs to make a living.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“He was also kept busy by his many boyhood jobs.” 可知 D 正确。答案：D6Arthur Miller began to write plays _Awhen he was in college Bwhen he was a small boyCbecause his father encouraged him to do so Dbecause it was one of his school assignments解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“His first play，No Villain，received an award from the university”可知，他是在大学时开始写戏剧的。答案：A7We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _Athe University of Michigan is on the east coast of the USABMiller's university education made him doubt religionCMiller learned playwriting all by himselfDsocio­economic liberals were probably not politically “left”解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“he had never studied plays or playwriting” 可知 C 正确。答案：C8Which of the following plays tells the story of Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe?ADeath of a Salesman. BThe Crucible.CNo Villain. DFinishing the Picture.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的 “Finishing the Picture mirrors the last days of his marriage to Marilyn Monroe” 可知 D 正确。答案：DSisyphus(西西弗斯) was the founder and first king of Corinth.He was considered as the most cunning(狡猾的)guy on earth.He betrayed Zeus'secrets.One of the secrets of Zeus that Sisyphus gave away was that he told the river god Asopus(阿索波斯) that Zeus had taken his daughter Aegina away.Zeus then ordered Thanatos(死神)to chain Sisyphus in Tartarus(地狱)，a place in the Underworld.Sisyphus cunningly asked Thanatos to show how the chains worked.When Thanatos did so，Sisyphus fastened them and threatened him.This caused an awful mess，which interrupted the rules of the Underworld.No human could die.Eventually Ares(阿瑞斯) was sent to free Thanatos，and turned Sisyphus over to Thanatos.However，before Sisyphus died，he had told his wife not to bury him but to throw his body into the middle of the public square.This caused Sisyphus to end up on the shores of the river Styx.He complained to Persephone，Queen of the Underworld，that he hadn't been given the proper funeral honors.Sisyphus persuaded her to allow him to go back to the upper world and blame his wife for not burying his body(as a loving wife should)Back in Corinth，Sisyphus' spirit refused to return to the Underworld, enjoying the sunshine and forgetting all about his funeral.Then he was forcibly dragged back to the Underworld by Hermes(赫尔墨斯)As a punishment for his crimes，Sisyphus was condemned to do an endless hard labor.He was made to roll a huge round rock up a hill.Before he could reach the top of the hill，the rock would always roll back down，forcing him to begin again.9Why did Zeus want to take Sisyphus to the Underworld?ABecause Sisyphus cheated Thanatos.BBecause Sisyphus was the most cunning man.CBecause Sisyphus had given away Zeus' secrets.DBecause Sisyphus had witnessed Zeus' unsuitable behavior.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段 “He betrayed Zeus' secrets”可知应选C。答案：C10What happened after Thanatos was chained up?ASisyphus was killed by Zeus.BSisyphus made all apology to Zeus.CAres was sent to manage the Underworld.DThe order of the Underworld was broken.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“This caused an awful mess, which interrupted the rules of the Underworld”可知应选D。答案：D11Why did Persephone allow Sisyphus to go back to the upper world?ABecause he had to find where his body was.BBecause he had to have his funeral completed.CBecause Persephone wanted to make his life longer.DBecause Persephone wanted to give him a chance to meet his wife.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“He complained to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld，that he hadn't been given the proper funeral honors”可知应选B。答案：B12We can learn from the last paragraph that _Aa bad thing never diesBaction speaks louder than wordsCa bad beginning makes a bad endingDa greedy man is good to none but worse to himself解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段西西弗斯所受的惩罚可以得出：恶意始者必恶其终。答案：CIf you really want to win the weight­loss battle，learn to strike a balancenot just on your plate，but also in how you spend your free time.A new study finds that people who spend more time in front of computers have a higher obesity(肥胖)risk，even if they think they get enough exercise during the week.This study found only an association between weight and computer use.“Is it that you become overweight because you use the Internet a lot，or is it that overweight people simply use the Internet more？”says Corneel V andelanotte, postdoctoral research fellow at Central Queensland University.It's hard to say.But one likely explanation，she adds，is that “people who use the Internet a lot also engage more in other sedentary (久坐的) behaviors，and that is likely the main cause of their being more likely to be overweight.”Formal exercise can only partly make up for the time you spend sitting around.“If I go running three times a week for one hour，but watch TV the rest of my time.I will still be very sedentary.”says Vandelanotte.“I might be fit，which is definitely a good thing，but it might also be that I'm still not using enough energy on a daily basis.”It's all about striking a balance between sitting down and moving around.Here are a few ways to keep computer time from undermining a healthy lifestyle：Set a timer for your computer use，television watching or anything that keeps you on the couch.Set time limits that will allow you to enjoy the websites or TV shows you like，without leaving time for unneeded browsing or channel surfing that just keeps you off your feet.Be an active viewer.When you're
