They are 12 places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. 13 , the north is not so similar to the South Pole as people may imagine. The north Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures 14 go above 32 ºF, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as 30°F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to 15 the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment 16 of troubles and difficulties. They reach the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a 17 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, even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. 18 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 19 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 20 into two opening lanes of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 11．A．different B．similar C．same D．hard 12．A．both B．neither C．all D．some 13．A．But B．Though C．Therefore D．However 14．A．always B．never C．seldom D．often 15．A．get B．reach C．arrive D．go 16．A．filled B．packed C．kind D．full 17．A．hard B．happy C．easy D．relaxing 18．A．Many B．Little C．Few D．Much 19．A．thin B．thick C．soft D．slim 20．A．cuts B．breaks C．falls D．turns 【答案】 11．B 12．A 13．D 14．C 15．B 16．D 17．A 18．C 19．B 20．B 【导语】本文详细的介绍了北极和南极的实际情况，包括极冷的温度，突如其来的暴风雨，甚至饥饿，所以极少有人在那居住，但Robert Peary和Mathew Henson曾到达北极。 11．句意：人们通常认为北极和南极就像冰冻的荒原。 different不同的；similar相像的，类似的；same相同的；hard坚硬的，困难的。根据下文“…the north is not so similar to the South Pole as people may imagine.”可知北极和南极就像冰冻的荒原，as similar as类似于，固定短语。故选B。 12．句意：它们都是温度很低的地方，很少有人住在那里。 both两个都；neither两者都不；all所有，全部；some 一些。根据“the North Pole and the South pole as similar as frozen (冰冻的) wastelands.”可知两个都是温度很低的地方……，故选A。 13．句意：然而，北极并不像人们想象的那样与南极相似。 But但是；Though虽然，尽管，引导让步状语从句；Therefore因此，所以；However然而。根据上文“People often think of the North Pole and the South pole as similar as frozen (冰冻的) wastelands.”和此句“the north is not so similar to the South Pole as people may imagine.”是转折关系，且有逗号隔开，应用However，故选D。 14．句意：温度很少超过32ºF，在这个温度下，水会变成冰。 always总是；never从不；seldom很少；often经常。根据下文“Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as 30°F.”可知seldom符合语境，温度很少超过32ºF，故选C。 15．句意：虽然条件很差，但许多世纪以来，人们都试图到达北极。 get获取，get to到达；reach到达，及物动词；arrive到达，不及物动词，后面跟地点用at或in；go去，出发，不及物动词。根据空格后“the North Pole”是地点，用reach。故选B。 16．句意：大约100年前，罗伯特·佩里和马修·亨森这两个人能够进入这个充满麻烦和困难的环境。 filled充满，filled with充满着；packed拥挤的；kind友善的；full充满的，full of充满着。根据空格后“of troubles and difficulties”可知full符合语境，故选D。 17．句意：对他们来说，这真是一次艰难的旅程。 hard困难的；happy高兴的；easy容易的；relaxing轻松的。根据上文“this environment full of troubles and difficulties”可知到达北极是一次艰难的旅程，故选A。 18．句意：很少有人能住在这样困难的地方。 Many许多，后面跟可数名词复数；Little很少，后面跟不可数名词；Few很少，几乎没有，后面可数名词复数；Much许多，大量的，后面跟可数名词复数。根据“…people can live in such a difficult place.”可知Few符合语境，people是集合名词，是复数，在这样困难的地方很少人能住，故选C。 19．句意：人们可能会认为，由于一年中的大部分时间气温都很低，冰会很厚很硬。 thin 薄的；thick厚的；soft柔软的；slim苗条的。根据句中“with such low temperatures for most of the year”可知冰会很厚，故选B。 20．句意：有时，冰会破裂成两条开放的水道，称为“引线”。 cuts切，割；breaks破，裂；falls掉落；turns转动，旋转。根据“Sometimes the ice …into two opening lanes of water”可知breaks符合语境，冰裂成两道开口。故选B。 三、阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) We can see different kinds of wonderful things in nature. A glacier (冰川) is one 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 of glaciers. One is a sheet (片) of ice that spreads over a large area of land. The other kind forms in mountains and moves down to valleys (山谷). Falling snow forms glaciers. In high mountains, snow falls and does not melt (融化). New snow falls on old snow. After many years, the snow becomes a little closer together. It turns into ice and over time 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. 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 some places. Scientists study glaciers that have been around thousands of years. They also learn about the Earth’s climate (气候) long ago. When a glacier reaches the ocean, parts of it break off. These icebergs (冰山) 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. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 21．How many kinds of glaciers are there in the world? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5. 22．What might a geography teacher say in his class? A．Mountains are mainly created by glaciers. B．Glaciers cover most parts of the Earth’s land. C．A small amount of water is stored in glaciers. D．Thousand-year-old glaciers carry climate information. 23．How does the writer organize Paragraph 3? A．By making comparison (比较). B．By giving spatial (空间的) order. C．By showing problems and solutions. D．By listing causes and effects. 24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A．The problems glaciers cause for mountain climbers. B．The differences glaciers make to the Earth’s surface. C．The dangers that glaciers bring to people. D．A call to humans to act to protect glaciers. 25．What is the purpose of the text? A．To give readers information about glaciers. B．To show the importance of glaciers. C．To explain how humans influence glaciers. D．To describe good and bad sides of glaciers. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．D 24．C 25．A 【导语】本文介绍了冰川的定义、种类、形成、对地球表面的影响、分布、与气候的关系及其潜在危险，并呼吁人们为减缓冰川因气候变化而融化采取行动。 21．细节理解题。根据“There are two main kinds of glaciers.”可知，冰川主要有两种类型。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据“Scientists study glaciers that have been around thousands of years. They also learn about the Earth’s climate long ago.”可知，科学家们研究已存在数千年的冰川，同时探索到地球远古时期的气候状况，由此可知千年冰川携带了气候信息，地理老师可能会在课堂上提到这一点。故选D。 23．细节理解题。通读第三段可知，此段通过描述积雪如何逐渐形成冰川，并最终因其重量而移动，列举了冰川形成的原因及其影响。由此可知作者通过列举原因和结果来组织此段。故选D。 24．主旨大意题。通读第六段可知，此段提到冰川对船只和登山者的危险，如冰山和裂缝，主要围绕冰川对人类造成的危险展开。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文通过介绍冰川的定义、种类、形成、对地球表面的影响、分布、与气候的关系及其潜在危险，旨在向读者提供关于冰川的信息。故选A。 四、语法填空(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分) 阅读下列短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式,并将答案写在对应处。 Mount Qomolangma, standing at around 8,848.86 meters, is the world’s highest mountain above sea level. But did you know that 26 (it) height is growing? Scientists say the huge mountain grows by as much as two millimeters (毫米) every year. Two millimeters is very tiny, 27 the change will be big over time. In 28 recent study, researchers have suggested that Qomolangma is growing because of a nearby river, the Arun. This powerful river 29 (run) along the Himalayas and washes away rocks and soil. Then a huge, deep gorge (峡谷)   30 (create). As there is now less ground material left in that area, the crust (板块) becomes lighter as well. This allows the crusts 31 (push) against each other and go upwards. Many 32 (year) later, the whole process raises the height of the land-even big, heavy mountains. 33 makes Qomolangma grow so rapidly? Researchers discovered that with a lot more water going through the Arun, the river would wash away more rocks and soil. As a result, the gorge becomes even 34 (big) in a shorter time, causing Qomolangma to grow more quickly. It is 35 (real) amazing to think about how nature can change the world’s highest mountain! 【答案】 26．its 27．but 28．a 29．runs 30．is created 31．to push 32．years 33．What 34．bigger 35．really 【导语】本文讲述了珠穆朗玛峰的高度正在增长的原因，主要是由于附近的阿伦河冲刷岩石和土壤，导致地壳变轻并相互挤压，从而使山脉逐渐升高。 26．句意：但你知道它的高度在增长吗？根据上下文可知，此处指代“Mount Qomolangma”的高度，使用物主代词“its”。故填its。 27．句意：两毫米非常微小，但随着时间的推移，变化会很大。此处表示转折关系，使用连词“but”。故填but。 28．句意：在最近的一项研究中，研究人员提出珠穆朗玛峰的增长是由于附近的河流阿伦河。此处表示“一项研究”，recent以辅音音素开头，使用不定冠词“a”。故填a。 29．句意：这条强大的河流沿着喜马拉雅山脉流淌，冲走了岩石和土壤。根据上下文可知，时态为一般现在时，主语“river”为单数，动词用第三人称单数形式“runs”。故填runs。 30．句意：然后形成了一个巨大而深的峡谷。主语和动词之间是动宾关系，此处使用被动语态，主语是单数，所以be动词用“is”。故填is created。 31．句意：这使得板块能够相互挤压并向上移动。allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”，是固定搭配。故填to push。 32．句意：多年后，整个过程抬升了陆地的高度，甚至是巨大而沉重的山脉。many修饰名词复数形式。故填years。 33．句意：是什么让珠穆朗玛峰增长得如此迅速？根据“makes Qomolangma grow so rapidly”可知，问的是什么使珠峰增长如此迅速，应用what。故填What。 34．句意：结果，峡谷在更短的时间内变得更大，导致珠穆朗玛峰增长得更快。even修饰比较级，使用“bigger”。故填bigger。 35．句意：想到大自然如何改变世界最高峰，真是令人惊叹！此处修饰形容词“amazing”，使用副词“really”。故填really。 五、 读下面一段对话,从方框中所给的 A、B、C、D、E、F和 G 七个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) A: Hi, Mike! 36 B: I’m reading a book.
