C We can see different knds of wonderful things in nature. A glacier (冰Jll) is on of them. What's a glacier? It is a large piece of ice. Glaciers are called "rivers of ice". That's because they move like very slow rivers. There are two main kinds ot glaciers. One is a sheet of ice that spreads over a large area of land. The other kind forms in mountains and moves down to valleys ( 谷). Falling snow forms glaciers. In high mountams, snow talls and docs not melt (副 化). New snow falls on old snow. After many years, the snow becomes a little closer together. It turns into ice and later into glaciers Over time, a glacier becomes very heavy. This causes it to move. Glaciers change the Earth's surface as they move. They shape mountains.They carry rocks and soil (士壤). When glaciers melt, they leave behind the rocks and soil. Most places with high mountains have glaciers. Glaciers cover one-tenth of the Earth's land. Most of the Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers. Melted glacier water is used as drinking water in sorie places. Scientists study glaciers that are thousands of years old. They also learn about the Earth's climate long ago When a glacier reaches the ocean, parts of it break off. These icebergs ( 冰 l) can be bad for ships. Glaciers are dangerous for mountain climbers. Many glaciers have deep cracks (裂缝) that can open quickly. Scientists have realized glaciers have a close connection with the climate. They begin to melt because of the rising temperature. In order to stop the melting of glaciers caused by climate change, each of us should do something. () 63. How do glaciers get the name "'rivers of ice"? A. From their shapes. B. From their uses. C.

People there have very little time to go out to meet people. The development of the city and too much dependence on smartphones and computers , make the situation even worse. So it's easy to see how lonely people can feel in this northern Swedish city.

"And I believe that simple greetings can develop a sense of belonging and make Lulea an even more attractive (吸引 人的) place to live and visit." As well as fighting loneliness, the "Say hi!" campaign hopes that saying hi wil lead to a friendlier, safer and warmer community (社区), which might also encourage more people to move into the community-including those from other countries () 68.

It's not an casy process for all. No one's memory is perfect. Even the most intelligent (聪明的) people forget things. This does not mean a person has a bad memory. (73)_ The brain has short-term memory and long-term memory. When we learn something new, it stays in our memory for around 20 to 30 seconds. This is our short-term memory. (74) If we repeat it and use it often, the litle information can move from short-tcrin memory to long-term memory, which is the place where memories are stored for a long time. The trick (技 巧) of memorizing something is moving information from short-term memory to long-term memory. (75) But one thing is for- sure-practicing, or repeating information, is one of the most popular methods of memorizing something. (76) There are too many reasons. Nobody can explain it clearly. However, scientists say forgetting things that are not important helps our brain to remember things that are important and that our brain is always 'cleaning out" useless information to make room for something more useful (77 First of all, you need to eat well. sleep well and exercise every day. It's also important to challenge your brain. You can play mind games, learn a musical instrument or study a new language. All you need to do is keep your brain healthy and active. A Then why do we forget things? B. No one knows exactly how this happens. C. It can hold a small amount (数量) of information D. It means he is not making very good use of his brain E. But this is not always the best way to memorize things F. Here are some things you can do to improve your memory. G. We can rest when we have learned something for a long time. 五、请阅读下面对话,根据对话内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个填 入空白处,使对话通顺、合理,意思完整。一空一句。(每小题1分) (Karen and Michael are talking in the English club.
