With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London
No matter the weather, as far as I’m concerned when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by dense whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city.
This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between.
Thorington Theatre, Suffolk
A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is built in a natural amphitheatre (圆形露天竞技场) hidden in the Suffolk woodlands.
This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Willow Globe, Powys
An attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together.
Their programme is largely filled with all things Shakespeare: straight plays, of course, but also plenty of fun introductions and interpretations to bring the Bard’s words to new or reluctant audiences.
Minack Theatre, Cornwall
Situated on the cliff of Porthcurno, Minack Theatre is one you hardly need an excuse to visit; seeing anything at all, backdropped by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience.
This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and some others. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September.

A team of researchers from the United States and Switzerland have reported the discovery of a previously unknown compound (化合物) in chloraminated drinking water, which is drunk by more than 113 million people in the United States.
Inorganic chloramines are commonly used to disinfect (消毒) drinking water to safeguard public health from diseases. The researchers have now identified the compound called chloronitramide anion as an end product of inorganic chloramine decomposition. While its toxicity (毒性) is not presently known, its widespread existence and similarity to other toxic compounds are concerning and call for further study to assess its public health risk.
Julian Fairey, the first co-author of the paper published in Science, noted that researchers had known about the new compound for decades but had been unable to identify it. He himself began trying to uncover the mystery 10 years ago. “It’s a very stable chemical with a low molecular weight,” Fairey said. “It’s a chemical very difficult to find. The hardest part was identifying it and proving it was the structure we were saying it was.”
Definitely, there will be questions about the health risks posed by this new compound, which could not be previously evaluated in any toxicity studies. Fairey explained, “It’s well recognized that when we disinfect drinking water, there is some toxicity that’s created. A certain number of people may get cancer from drinking water over several decades. But we haven’t identified what chemicals are driving that toxicity. A major goal of our work is to identify these chemicals and the reaction pathways through which they form.”
Whether chloronitramide anion is linked to any cancer or other health risks will be assessed in future work by academics and regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. At the very least, toxicity studies can now be started on this compound thanks to this discovery. “Even if it is not toxic,” Fairey explained, “identifying it can help us understand the pathways for how other compounds are formed, including toxins. If we know how something is formed, we can potentially control it.”
4.What can be known about the new compound from the first two paragraphs?
A.Whether it is toxic or not remains unknown.
B.It has little in common with other compounds.
C.It rarely exists in chloraminated drinking water.
D.Millions of Americans are being threatened by it.
5.What did Fairey say about studying the new compound in paragraph 3?
A.It was quite challenging. B.He started it just recently.
C.Most researchers opposed it. D.It was finished ten years ago.
6.Why is it necessary to study the chemicals in chloraminated drinking water?
A.They make drinking water less tasty.
B.They may be harmful to human health.
C.They are used to measure water quality.
D.They generate something against cancer.
7.Which of the following shows Fairey’s opinion?
A.Toxicity studies can’t be carried out currently.
B.It is not difficult to identify various compounds.
C.Chloronitramide anion gives rise to health risks.
D.The identification of the new compound is valuable.
C
Imagine sitting there sipping coffee when suddenly you see someone about to die. What would you do? On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was staring out of his house in Edgewater, Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when his daughter Aimee spotted the Piper Cherokee. “Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert realized it was going to land in the creek (小溪). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentago in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled.
On this day, Gelinned didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (打滑) to as top on the broad, frozen creek, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船).
The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too flimsy, so the pair tried using shovels (铲) to push the boats along. It was exhausting. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (浸没) up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne nudged (轻推) his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I flip (翻)?”
With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the three men were floating together. By now, a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and sent him to be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted to shore while John Jr. made his own way back.
“I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.
8.What does “the Piper Cherokee” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The pilot. B.The kayak.
C.The rescue team. D.The sinking aircraft.
9.What did Gelinne regret about Sept. 11, 2001?
A.He escaped from the scene. B.He helped handle the chaos.
C.He fought against the terrorists. D.He stayed inside to save the injured.
10.Which of the following best describes Gelinne?
A.Honest and ambitious. B.Professional and dedicated.
C.Humorous and calm. D.Helpful and selfless.
11.Why Gelinne was satisfied in the last paragraph?
A.He dialed 911 immediately.
B.He didn’t hesitate to escape from the ice.
C.He decided to treat Steve for minor injuries.
D.He chose to deal

In the fall of 1915, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance (耐力号) sank off the coast of Antarctica. While all of the expedition’s 28 crew eventually were rescued, the ship’s final resting place has remained a much-discussed maritime mystery. That is, until today. A team of researchers has announced they’ve located the wreck at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, almost the northernmost part of Antarctica.
Endurance was backed by the British government and private donors and supported by Winston Churchill to deliver a group of explorers to the coast of Antarctica and then travel overland across the continent via the South Pole.
It set out from South Georgia on December 5, 1914, shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. But the enemy that Shackleton and his men faced was of a different sort. The Weddell Sea, covering an area of more than a million square miles, is one of the most remote and unforgiving environments in the world, littered with icebergs and roiled by strong surface winds. Shackleton called it “the worst sea in the world.”
The expedition made good progress at first, but as the Antarctic winter of 1915 closed in, the men found themselves trapped in the sea ice on Tuesday, October 26. The next day, the men removed tools, instruments, and provisions and set up camp on the ice floe. Endurance finally sank on November 27. Shackleton famously said, “What the ice gets, the ice keeps.” . But Endurance’s story did not end with the ship’s sinking.
In 2019, the Falklands Heritage Maritime Trust began its first expedition to find the ship but had been unable to locate the wreck. This winter, they tried again, organizing and funding Endurance22.
One of the toughest problems, besides the sea ice, was establishing the ship’s location. After Endurance was initially trapped in the ice, it continued to drift as the floes moved with the current. Due to poor visibility on the day the men abandoned the ship, however, the captain had been unable to take proper measurements that would help calculate the direction and speed of the floes.
12.Which can show the positions of Weddell Sea and Antarctica?
A. B.
C. D.
13.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Endurance hasn’t been found since the fall of 1915.
B.Endurance was only supported by Winston Churchill.
C.Ernest Shackleton died and sank off the coast of Antarctica in the fall of 1915.
D.Ernest Shackleton’s goal was to travel across the Antarctica via the South Pole.
14.What is the fundamental cause of the disaster according to the passage?
A.The sea ice.
B.The Antarctic winter.
C.The things they carried.
D.The captain’s unreasonable command.
15.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The way how to establish the ship’s location.
B.The reason why locating the ship is difficult.
C.The measurements that the captain took to locate the ship.
D.The time when Endurance22 was organized and funded.

Polar exploration is the exploration of the lands around the North and South poles. The poles are the coldest and most remote (遥远的) places on Earth. The North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean, which is covered by a huge, floating ice sheet. 16
Some early polar explorers used dogsleds (狗拉雪橇) or went on foot. This was dangerous, as huge cracks in the ice could swallow dogs, sleds, and people. Other explorers used ships. 17 Later explorers used icebreakers, airplanes, and snowmobiles.
18 Some people wanted the fame that would come from being the first to reach an unknown land. Others were hoping to discover shorter sailing routes from Europe to Eastern Asia. Still others expected to get rich. More recently, people began exploring the polar areas to gather scientific information.
The first outsider to reach the Arctic was probably an ancient Greek named Pytheas. 19 By the 1500s the Dutch and the English adventured there in search of trade routes. In 1878—1879 a Swedish explorer sailed from Europe through the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, which was called the Northeast Passage. In 1905 the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first to sail through the Northwest Passage.
People first landed on Antarctica in 1895. British explorers Robert F. Scott and Ernest Henry Shackleton each led expeditions (远征) there in the early 1900s. In 1928 the U.S. explorer Richard E. Byrd set up a base on Antarctica’s coast. 20 During 1957—1958 scientists from several countries set up 50 bases throughout Antarctica for scientific research.
A.Explorers first saw Antarctica in 1820.
B.He reached Norway or Iceland in about 300 BC.
C.People made early polar explorations for a number of reasons.
D.Many explorers risked their lives trying to achieve these goals.
E.The South Pole is on land, in the frozen continent of Antarctica.
F.This also was dangerous, as floating ice could damage the ships.
G.Meanwhile, many countries became interested in the scientific study of Antarctica.

We recently moved to a new town, and I went to the local grocery store with my baby, getting some things for the house. As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle (过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time.
As I was loading my groceries into my car and tending to my little baby, I suddenly heard some very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what had happened, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was crying, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood.
The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything but hold her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to help, but I was also trying to look after my little one, who was half-standing from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately.
Just then, from a few cars down, another woman came rushing over. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation.
They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency respondent everything he needed to know. The woman did everything exactly right that you’re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to see her confidence under pressure.

B.It is not difficult to identify various compounds.
C.Chloronitramide anion gives rise to health risks.
D.The identification of the new compound is valuable.
【答案】4.A 5.A 6.B 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员在氯胺消毒的饮用水中发现了一种名为氯硝酰胺阴离子的新化合物,其毒性尚不明确,但因其广泛存在和与其他有毒物质的相似性,需进一步研究其对公共健康的潜在风险。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段中“While its toxicity (毒性) is not presently known, its widespread existence and similarity to other toxic compounds are concerning and call for further study to assess its public health risk. (虽然目前尚不清楚其毒性,但其广泛存在以及与其他有毒化合物的相似性令人担忧,需要进一步研究以评估其公共健康风险)”可知,这种新化合物是否有毒仍不得而知。故选A项。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中Fairey所说的话“It’s a chemical very difficult to find. The hardest part was identifying it and proving it was the structure we were saying it was. (这种化学物质很难找到。最困难的部分是识别它并证明它是我们所说的结构)”可知,Fairey在说明研究这种新化合物非常具有挑战性,识别其身份及证明其结构非常困难。故选A项。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段中Fairey所说的话“It’s well recognized that when we disinfect drinking water, there is some toxicity that’s created. A certain number of people may get cancer from drinking water over several decades. But we haven’t identified what chemicals are driving that toxicity. (众所周知,当我们给饮用水消毒时,会产生一些毒性。在几十年的时间里,一定数量的人可能会因为喝水而患上癌症。但我们还没有确定是什么化学物质导致了这种毒性)”可知,用这种方法处理的饮用水中的化学物质可能对人体健康有害,因此有必要对其进行研究。故选B项。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Even if it is not toxic,” Fairey explained, “identifying it can help us understand the pathways for how other compounds are formed, including toxins. If we know how something is formed, we can potentially control it.” (“即使它没有毒性,”Fairey解释道,“识别它可以帮助我们理解包括毒素的其他化合物的形成途径。如果我们知道某种物质是如何形成的,我们就有可能控制它。”)”可知,Fairey认为识别这种物质有助于理解其他化合物的形成途径,从而控制相关化合物。因此,其观点应该是“这种新化合物的识别是有价值的”。故选D项。

He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船).
The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too flimsy, so the pair tried using shovels (铲) to push the boats along. It was exhausting. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (浸没) up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne nudged (轻推) his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I flip (翻)?”
With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the three men were floating together. By now, a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and sent him to be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted to shore while John Jr. made his own way back.
“I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.
8.What does “the Piper Cherokee” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The pilot. B.The kayak.
C.The rescue team. D.The sinking aircraft.
9.What did Gelinne regret about Sept. 11, 2001?
A.He escaped from the scene. B.He helped handle the chaos.
C.He fought against the terrorists. D.He stayed inside to save the injured.
10.Which of the following best describes Gelinne?
A.Honest and ambitious. B.Professional and dedicated.
C.Humorous and calm. D.Helpful and selfless.
11.Why Gelinne was satisfied in the last paragraph?
A.He dialed 911 immediately.
B.He didn’t hesitate to escape from the ice.
C.He decided to treat Steve for minor injuries.
D.He chose to deal with the crisis bravely.
【答案】8.D 9.A 10.C 11.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的Gelinne在家中目睹一架小型飞机坠入冰封的胡须溪后的英勇救援行动。
8.词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文““Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. (“看“!”她叫道。Gelinne抬起头,正好看到几百码外有一架小型飞机正在下降)”可推知,画线部分指的是这艘在下降的飞机。故选D项。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段中“He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. (他逃离了混乱,但一直想知道他是否可以留在里面帮忙。“向右就是危机,向左就是逃避。我甚至不知道我能不能向右走,但我还是向左走了,”他回忆说)”可知,Gelinne对2001年9月11日他逃离现场感到后悔。故选A项。
10.推理判断题。根据第三段中“He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船). (他用脚试了试冰面,决定不冒险在上面走。然后,他和37岁的儿子John J拉出了两艘皮划艇)”和第五段中“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” (儿子就在旁边,Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静,他开玩笑说:“就像抱着你的妻子一样抓紧船。”)”可知,面对需要救人的紧急情况,Gelinne没有贸然行动,而是先评估了在冰面上行走的危险,而且他会用开玩笑的方式让飞行员保持冷静。由此可知,他是幽默且冷静的。故选C项。
11.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. (尽管如此,他还是很满意自己那天走的是正确的路)”可知,Gelinne感到满意是因为这一天他选择勇敢地处理危机。故选D项。

In the fall of 1915, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance (耐力号) sank off the coast of Antarctica. While all of the expedition’s 28 crew eventually were rescued, the ship’s final resting place has remained a much-discussed maritime mystery. That is, until today. A team of researchers has announced they’ve located the wreck at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, almost the northernmost part of Antarctica.
Endurance was backed by the British government and private donors and supported by Winston Churchill to deliver a group of explorers to the coast of Antarctica and then travel overland across the continent via the South Pole.
It set out from South Georgia on December 5, 1914, shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. But the enemy that Shackleton and his men faced was of a different sort. The Weddell Sea, covering an area of more than a million square miles, is one of the most remote and unforgiving environments in the world, littered with icebergs and roiled by strong surface winds. Shackleton called it “the worst sea in the world.”
The expedition made good progress at first, but as the Antarctic winter of 1915 closed in, the men found themselves trapped in the sea ice on Tuesday, October 26. The next day, the men removed tools, instruments, and provisions and set up camp on the ice floe. Endurance finally sank on November 27. Shackleton famously said, “What the ice gets, the ice keeps.” . But Endurance’s story did not end with the ship’s sinking.
In 2019, the Falklands Heritage Maritime Trust began its first expedition to find the ship but had been unable to locate the wreck. This winter, they tried again, organizing and funding Endurance22.
One of the toughest problems, besides the sea ice, was establishing the ship’s location. After Endurance was initially trapped in the ice, it continued to drift as the floes moved with the current. Due to poor visibility on the day the men abandoned the ship, however, the captain had been unable to take proper measurements that would help calculate the direction and speed of the floes.
12.Which can show the positions of Weddell Sea and Antarctica?
A. B.
C. D.
13.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Endurance hasn’t been found since the fall of 1915.
B.Endurance was only supported by Winston Churchill.
C.Ernest Shackleton died and sank off the coast of Antarctica in the fall of 1915.
D.Ernest Shackleton’s goal was to travel across the Antarctica via the South Pole.
14.What is the fundamental cause of the disaster according to the passage?
A.The sea ice.
B.The Antarctic winter.
C.The things they carried.
D.The captain’s unreasonable command.
15.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The way how to establish the ship’s location.
B.The reason why locating the ship is difficult.
C.The measurements that the captain took to locate the ship.
D.The time when Endurance22 was organized and funded.
【答案】12.D 13.D 14.A 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍1915年沉没的极地探险船“耐力号”在南极洲最北端的威德尔海底被发现。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段“A team of researchers has announced they’ve located the wreck at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, almost the northernmost part of Antarctica. ( 一组研究人员宣布,他们已经在南极洲最北端的威德尔海底找到了这艘沉船。) ”由此可知,威德尔海位于南极洲的最北端,故选D。
13.细节理解题。 根据第一段“In the fall of 1915, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance (耐力号) sank off the coast of Antarctica. While all of the expedition’s 28 crew eventually were rescued …That is, until today. A team of researchers has announced they’ve located the wreck at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, almost the northernmost part of Antarctica. ( 1915年秋天,极地探险家欧内斯特·沙克尔顿的“耐力号”船在南极洲海岸沉没。虽然探险队的28名船员最终都获救了……直到今天。一组研究人员宣布,他们已经在南极洲最北端的威德尔海底找到了这艘沉船。) ”以及第四段“The expedition made good progress at first, but as the Antarctic winter of 1915 closed in, the men found themselves trapped in the sea ice on Tuesday, October 26. The next day, the men removed tools, instruments, and provisions and set up camp on the ice floe. Endurance finally sank on November 27. (探险队一开始进展不错,但随着1915年南极冬季的临近,他们发现自己在10月26日(周二)被困在了海冰中。第二天,他们搬走了工具、仪器和给养,在浮冰上扎营。“耐力号”最终于11月27日沉没。)可知A选项和C选项错误;根据第二段“Endurance was backed by the British government and private donors and supported by Winston Churchill to deliver a group of explorers to the coast of Antarctica and then travel overland across the continent via the South Pole.(耐力号得到了英国政府和私人捐助者的支持,并得到了温斯顿·丘吉尔(Winston Churchill)的支持,他们将一队探险者送到了南极洲海岸,然后通过南极点穿越大陆)”所以B选项错误;D选项正确,故选D。
14.推理判断题。根据三段“The Weddell Sea, covering an area of more than a million square miles, is one of the most remote and unforgiving environments in the world, littered with icebergs and roiled by strong surface winds. (威德尔海覆盖了超过一百万平方英里的区域,是世界上最偏远和严酷的环境之一,到处都是冰山,并且受到强烈的表面风的侵袭)”及第四段“The expedition made good progress at first, but as the Antarctic winter of 1915 closed in, the men found themselves trapped in the sea ice on Tuesday, October 26. The next day, the men removed tools, instruments, and provisions and set up camp on the ice floe. Endurance finally sank on November 27. (探险队一开始进展不错,但随着1915年南极冬季的临近,他们发现自己在10月26日(周二)被困在了海冰中。第二天,他们搬走了工具、仪器和给养,在浮冰上扎营。“耐力号”最终于11月27日沉没)”可推知,导致“耐力号”沉没的根本原因是海冰。南极的冬天加剧了海冰的形成和移动,但直接导致船只被困和沉没的是海冰。故选A。
15.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“One of the toughest problems, besides the sea ice, was establishing the ship’s location. After Endurance was initially trapped in the ice, it continued to drift as the floes moved with the current. Due to poor visibility on the day the men abandoned the ship, however, the captain had been unable to take proper measurements that would help calculate the direction and speed of the floes. (除了海冰之外,最棘手的问题之一就是确定船只的位置。“耐力号”最初被困在冰中,随着浮冰随水流移动,它继续漂流。然而,由于船员弃船的那天能见度很低,船长一直无法进行适当的测量,以帮助计算浮冰的方向和速度。)”可知本段主要介绍确定船的位置困难的原因,故选B。

Polar exploration is the exploration of the lands around the North and South poles. The poles are the coldest and most remote (遥远的) places on Earth. The North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean, which is covered by a huge, floating ice sheet. 16
Some early polar explorers used dogsleds (狗拉雪橇) or went on foot. This was dangerous, as huge cracks in the ice could swallow dogs, sleds, and people. Other explorers used ships. 17 Later explorers used icebreakers, airplanes, and snowmobiles.
18 Some people wanted the fame that would come from being the first to reach an unknown land. Others were hoping to discover shorter sailing routes from Europe to Eastern Asia. Still others expected to get rich. More recently, people began exploring the polar areas to gather scientific information.
The first outsider to reach the Arctic was probably an ancient Greek named Pytheas. 19 By the 1500s the Dutch and the English adventured there in search of trade routes. In 1878—1879 a Swedish explorer sailed from Europe through the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, which was called the Northeast Passage. In 1905 the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first to sail through the Northwest Passage.
People first landed on Antarctica in 1895. British explorers Robert F. Scott and Ernest Henry Shackleton each led expeditions (远征) there in the early 1900s. In 1928 the U.S. explorer Richard E. Byrd set up a base on Antarctica’s coast. 20 During 1957—1958 scientists from several countries set up 50 bases throughout Antarctica for scientific research.
A.Explorers first saw Antarctica in 1820.
B.He reached Norway or Iceland in about 300 BC.
C.People made early polar explorations for a number of reasons.
D.Many explorers risked their lives trying to achieve these goals.
E.The South Pole is on land, in the frozen continent of Antarctica.
F.This also was dangerous, as floating ice could damage the ships.
G.Meanwhile, many countries became interested in the scientific study of Antarctica.

I live in a port city. Last Saturday, some of my friends came to visit me and I took them to the sea shore for fun. My friends never saw the sea in real life, and thus the moment we got there, they were 36 (astonish) at its broadness. The shore 37 (stretch) for miles and the wind blows gently across the sea, 38 (wrinkle) its surface. After lunch, we set for a popular island 39 was about two leagues from the coast. However, our initial attempt 40 (buy) ship tickets among crowds of people failed. 41 (fortunate), a fisherman, who we called “Great Captain”, permitted taking us there, free of charge, which made us excited. Everything went well 42 Nick broke his leg as he was landing on the island. His left leg was cut by a sharp stone and started to bleed immediately. It was impossible for us to find a hospital nearby since the island 43 (surround) by the sea. When we were panicked about what to do, a local resident came to 44 (we) help. He happened to carry a first aid kit (工具箱) with him. After cleaning Nick’s wound, he covered his leg with a bandage to stop the 45 (bleed). We thanked him a lot. Later that day, my friends and I had a great time.
【答案】
36.astonished 37.stretches 38.wrinkling 39.that/which 40.to buy 41.Fortunately 42.until/before 43.was surrounded 44.our 45.bleeding
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者与朋友们游览海边的经历。
36.考查形容词。句意:我的朋友们从未在现实生活中见过大海,因此我们一到那里,他们就被它的广阔震惊了。此处为形容词作表语,astonish的形容词astonished意为“感到惊讶”符合句意。故填astonished。
37.考查动词时态。句意:海岸绵延数英里,风轻柔地吹过海面。此处为句子的谓语部分,由于描述的是一个普遍事实,因此使用一般现在时,且主语the shore为单数,所以动词用第三人称单数形式。故填stretches。
38.考查现在分词。句意:海岸绵延数英里,风轻柔地吹过海面,使水面起皱。此处为非谓语动词作状语,wrinkling与逻辑主语the wind之间存在主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填wrinkling。
39.考查定语从句。句意:午饭后,我们前往一个距离海岸大约两里格的受欢迎岛屿。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,指代前面提到的island,并在从句中作主语,所以此处为关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
40.考查不定式。句意:然而,我们在众多人群中尝试买船票的初次尝试失败了。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰attempt,修饰名词attempt应为动词不定式形式。故填to buy。
41.考查副词。句意:幸运的是,一位渔民,我们称之为“伟大的船长”,允许免费带我们去那里,这让我们非常兴奋。此处为副词修饰整个句子,fortunate的副词为fortunately意为“幸运的是”,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Fortunately。
42.考查状语从句。句意:一切都很顺利直到尼克在登陆岛屿时摔断了他的腿。此处为连词引导的状语从句,根据上下文的句意可知,此处表示事件的截止点,所以此处为until或before引导时间状语从句。故填until/before。
43.考查动词语态。句意:由于岛屿被海水环绕,所以我们不可能找到附近的医院。此处为时间状语从句的谓语动词,根据主句的谓语动词was以及句意可知,此处使用一般过去时,surround与主语the island之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填was surrounded。
44.考查代词。句意:当我们都在为该怎么办而恐慌时,一位当地居民前来帮助我们。空后为名词help,所以此处为形容词性物主代词,we的形容词性的物主代词为our。故填our。
45.考查名词。句意:他用绷带包扎了尼克的腿以止住流血。此处为名词作宾语,bleed的名词为bleeding意为“流血”,且为不可数名词。故填bleeding。

47.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。
We recently moved to a new town, and I went to the local grocery store with my baby, getting some things for the house. As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle (过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time.
As I was loading my groceries into my car and tending to my little baby, I suddenly heard some very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what had happened, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was crying, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood.
The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything but hold her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to help, but I was also trying to look after my little one, who was half-standing from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately.
Just then, from a few cars down, another woman came rushing over. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation.
They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency respondent everything he needed to know. The woman did everything exactly right that you’re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to see her confidence under pressure.

【答案】One possible version:
Having hung up the phone, the woman tried to comfort the mother and her son. She knelt down beside the boy, gently patting his back and saying soft words to soothe him. “It’s going to be okay, honey. The ambulance is on the way. You’re a brave boy.” Then she turned to the mother, “Don’t worry. They’ll take good care of him. Stay calm for your son.” The mother, still in a state of shock, managed a weak nod, her eyes fixed on her injured boy. I quickly secured my baby in the car seat and rushed over to where they were.
Together, we waited anxiously for the ambulance to arrive. Finally, the sound of the ambulance’s siren filled the air. I started to direct the ambulance toward the injured boy. The driver saw me and followed my directions. I led them to the spot where the boy was waiting. The paramedics quickly carried the boy into the vehicle. The mother got in, too, and before the ambulance drove away, she looked back at us with tearful eyes, mouthing a silent “thank you”. We all felt relieved, knowing that we had done what we could in that difficult moment.
