They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine（想象）. The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32 ℉ , at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter, temperatures are usually as low as -30 ℉. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈） on foot. People who stayed there 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-1leads". Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. （　　）18. 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 32 F. C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse. D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. （　　）19.What does the underlined word "uninhabited" probably mean in Chinese? A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的 （　　）20. What problems will people face when crossing the Arctic? ① low temperatures ② without water ③ sudden storms ④ hunger ⑤ the movement of the ocean water A.① ② ③ ④ ⑤ B.① ③ ④ ⑤ C.① ② ④ ⑤ D.② ③ ④ ⑤ （　　）21. 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 Marilla wanted a boy from the orphanage（孤儿院）to help with farm work in Green Gables, but she was surprised to find that Matthew, her brother, brought back a little girl, Anne. Marilla suggested sending Anne back the next day. After hearing this, tears fell down Anne's cheeks. However, Matthew didn't quite agree, as he thought Anne was too little and she seemed nice and interesting. They should help her. It was broad daylight when Anne woke up the next day. For a moment she forgot where she was. Later came a feeling of excitement; then a terrible memory（可怕的回忆）. This was Green Gables and she couldn't stay here! But soon her eyes shone with happiness for the view. Oh, wasn't it beautiful? Wasn't it a lovely place? Even if she wasn't really going to stay here! She would imagine（想象） she was.

She dries the straw in the sun and then cuts it by hand. Colourful straws, like red, orange and brown can be found in her artworks. "They are all natural," Zhang Li said. Different colours make her paintings beautiful. In order to develop Wheat Straw Painting, she came up with the idea of mixing it with other traditional Chinese art. So she spent two years learning Suzhou embroidery（苏绣）. One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her the whole year to finish it. The bird’s smooth-shiny and colourful feathers are made of wheat straw, while the flowers are made of silk. "In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well," said Zhang Li.
