19、, we all deserve a wonderful summer holiday, a time for relaxation and celebration. Of course, a big part of any celebration involves food.

20、ole selection of meals, recipes and snacks to be enjoyed.The first thing that summer calls for is a barbecue. Although I dont have a barbecue at home, a portable barbecue will do the trick and this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are. Picnics are also a must for summe

21、r and I often find they are the most fun when treated like a potluck, with each person bringing along their personal favourites.

23、s, is always delicious.

24、y are a way to socialise and have fun with friends and family.

27、cation and schooling.CScientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain. But they didnt find out in the usual way.Archaeologists (考古学家) often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of

28、carbon found in charcoal (木炭) drawings or painted pictures. Carbon is an element found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had a

29、n “aha!” moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,” said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britains University of Bristol. “We were very fort

30、unate that some of the engravings (雕刻) were covered by stalagmites (石笋).”When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown are now extinct another clue that the art is quite old.The

31、artists came to Creswell Crags. This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the

32、travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hares. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away another important evidence of understanding how humans spread o

33、ut across the world.8. How did the scientists feel when they found rocks on the top of the drawings?A. Fairly confusing.B. Pleasantly surprised.C. Completely satisfied.D. Extremely proud.9.

36、 Has a Great Influence on BritainDTo understand the effect of ice melting (融化) around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica (南极洲) and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the

37、 Ice Age. These sheets form in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer. This ice, home to different species of animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, huntin

38、g and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live. Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when different species are forced together onto the coast.Since the 1990s, the deer population

39、 has dropped by 56 per centclimate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death

40、to animals. A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 20012010.Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise aro

41、und six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. As a matter of fact, sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which weve gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farm

42、land and more deadly storms.While were still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together, weve already lost too much and if we dont take climate change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.12. What is an ice sheet according to the passage?A It is an area where ice never

43、 melts in summer.B. It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.C. It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.D. It is an ice world for animals to live on.13. How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals?A. It makes it easier to travel to other land.B. It increases the population of

44、sea animals.C. It makes their surroundings more comfortable.D. It causes hunger and illness among animals.14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Ice sheet will soon disappear from the Earth.B. Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.C. Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice.D. All n

45、atural disasters happen due to sea level rise.15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Effect of Melting Ice SheetsB. Ice, Sea and AnimalsC. Greenland and AntarcticaD.

47、an instigate bullying and be bullied in schools. Bullying is harmful to all involved, not just the person who is bullied, but to those who do the bullying and those who stand by. It can lead to self-doubt, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, self-harm and sometimes even suicide

48、. Children might bully because they may not have been taught that it is wrong to bully. _17_ They are copying older brothers and sisters, friends or people they observe.
