There are seven continents﹙洲﹚in the world. Among them, Antarctica﹙南極洲﹚is the most special one. It is a world of snow and ice all year round. China has sent many scientists there. They try to find resources﹙資源﹚under the icy land and study climate change and sea biology.
What do they eat?
Scientists don’t have many choices on what they eat. About 60% their food is frozen food. It is easy to heat﹙加熱﹚。Meat is common on the menu, while vegetables are not usual. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, people often eat dried and canned vegetables.
How do they sleep?
In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this time, Antarctica faces the sun and gets sunlight 24 hours of the day. In order to get some sleep,scientists cover the window with black cloth to make “night”.
How do they work?
People can wear warm clothes to be against the cold weather, but they can do little with the strong wind. Sometimes, the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away.
So there are ropes﹙繩索﹚that connect some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep balance in strong winds.
How do they keep in touch with others?
There are no cables or Internet on the frozen continent. So mobiles and computers don’t work there. Scientists usually use two-way radios to communicate at work. If they want to say hello to family and friends, they can use the satellite phones.
小題1:What do scientists do in Antarctica?
A．They mostly study on the animals and plants there.
B．They mostly find resources and study climate change and sea biology.
C．They mostly find different kinds of lives under the ice and study them.
D．They mostly study on the ice and geography.
小題2:What kind of vegetables do they usually eat?
A．Fresh vegetables
B．Green vegetables only
C．Dried and canned vegetables
D．They go down the ice to work.
小題3:What do they do when the day lasts for 24 hours?
A．They work all day long.
B．They find a way to make “night”.
C．They stop working on those days.
D．They go down the ice to work.
小題4:How do the scientists work on the terrible windy days?
A．They use ropes to help themselves.
B．They just stay in the houses.
C．They use cars and ships to help.
D．They don’t think the wind brings trouble.
小題5:If scientist wants to say “I love you”to her daughter, what can she use?
A．Mobile phonesB．Tow-way radiosC．Satellite phonesD．Iphones and Ipods.

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:A
小題5:C

If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信號) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (槍聲). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches (樹枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.
What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.
The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.
To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.
There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.
One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個人的) projects without being bothered (打擾). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.
Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!
小題1:What is the idea behind the special school?
A．The children are creative.
B．All the students need to be taught.
C．All the students must be successful.
D．All the students must have high grades.
小題2:From the passage we can infer (推斷) that        in the special schools.
A．students are boredB．students are tired
C．students learn freely D．students learn from their teachers
小題3:“The Cave is a secluded place ….” The word “secluded” probably means “   ” in Chinese.
A．清靜的B．固定的C．吵鬧的D．混合的
小題4:Paragraph 5 mainly tells us that       .              
A．the school doesn’t have grades
B．the school has clever students
C．the school has five learning areas
D．the school doesn’t have classrooms

閱讀下面的短文，并完成短文后的任務(wù)。
Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (資源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (83) I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻止) waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. (84) Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
任務(wù)1：根據(jù)要求答題。(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求) 提示： within 在…以內(nèi)  waste浪費
