Millions do it. But as for the North Pole (北极)we know that it is not only a dangerously
14、 cold place, but that people like you and I would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. (76)Men have been travelling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of
15、years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time. have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, it is not true about landings in the pol
16、ar region, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole is a delight. At 4,000 meters and move above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as your eyes can reach. In the tropics (热带), on the other hand, you are not certain to
17、 keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.Aeroplanes can t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. (77) practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not to
18、climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.（分数：5.00）(1).“ Millions do it.“ in this sentence “do it“ refers to_.（分数：1.00）A.feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB.flying over the North PoleC.flying over the equatorD.making homes on the equator(2).The polar region is _.（分数：1.00
19、）A.a good place to land at by aeroplaneB.a good place to fly overC.a good place to fly pastD.a good place to live in(3).It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there _.（分数：1.00）A.planes fly higher than at the equatorB.the eyes can reach about 4,000 metersC.planes are clear of bad weatherD.planes
20、fly more quickly than at the equator(4).Aeroplanes can climb quickly_.（分数：1.00）A.in warm airB.in cold airC.when it reaches the polar regionD.only when the clouds are down low(5).Aeroplanes usually do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because_.（分数：1.00）A.they do not land there
21、B.there are no clouds at allC.they can cross the ice with special equipmentD.it is very cold四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately, in ma
22、ny parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. (78)In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he bad. And besides, be is usually too careless to pla
23、nt and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soilallowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away ea
24、sily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with whic
25、h to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.（分数：5.00）(1).What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?（分数：

28、es land become desert after all trees are cut down?（分数：1.00）A.Because nothing remains on land except floods.B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.(5).W

30、fe. Many things, good and bad, can happen to us in our lives.

We only have a choice in the second of these:
31、 we can choose whether or not to marry. But we have no choice in birth and death. All human beings from the most primitive to the most sophisticatedare affected by these three events. The only thing that differs in each society is the way these events are celebrated. Yet all societies share common c
32、haracteristics. Birth is a time of joy. The proud parents receive congratulations and presents on behalf of the new-born. Marriage is also a time of joy.
