27、_(2).Many students trying to increase their effective reading speed become discouraged when they find that if they try to race through passages faster, they fail to take what they have read.

29、、SECTION 2: STUDA SKI(总题数：6，分数：60.00)Questions 1-5 The discovery of the Antarctic not only proved one of the most interesting of all geographical adventures, but created what might be called “the heroic age of Antarctic exploration“. By their tremendous heroism, men such as Shakleton, Scott, and Amu
30、ndsen caused a new continent to emerge from the shadows, and yet that heroic age, little more than a century old, is already passing. Modern science and inventions are revolutionizing the endurance, future journeys into these icy wastes will probably depend on motor vehicles equipped with caterpilla
31、r traction rather than on the dogs that earlier discoverers found so invaluable and hardly comparable. Few realize that this Antarctic continent is almost equal in size to South America, and enormous field of work awaits geographers and prospectors. The coasts of this continent remain to be accurate
32、ly charted, and the mapping of the whole of the interior presents a formidable task to the cartographers who undertake the work. Once their labors are completed, it will be possible to prospect the vast natural resources which scientists believe will furnish one of the largest treasure hoards of met
33、als and minerals the world has yet known, and almost inexhaustible sources of copper, coal, uranium, and many other ores will become available to man. Such discoveries will usher in an era of practical exploitation of the Antarctic wastes. The polar darkness which hides this continent for the six wi
34、nter months will be defeated by huge batteries of light which make possible the establishing of air-fields for the future inter- continental air services by making these areas as light as day. Present flying routes will be completely changed, for the Antarctic refueling bases will make flights from
35、Australia to South America comparatively easy over the 5,000 miles journey. The climate is not likely to offer an insuperable problem, for the explorer Admiral Byrd has shown that the climate is possible even for men completely untrained for expeditions into those frozen wastes. Some of his parties
36、were men who had never seen snow before, and yet he records that they survived the rigors of the Antarctic climate comfortably, so that, provided that the appropriate installations are made, we may assume that human beings from all countries could live there safely. Byrd even affirms that it is prob
37、ably the most healthy climate in the world, for the intense cold of thousands of years has sterilized this continent, and rendered it absolutely germfree, with the consequences that ordinary and extraordinary sickness and diseases from which man suffers in other zones with different climates are her
38、e utterly unknown. There exist no problems of conservation and preservation of food supplies, for the latter keep indefinitely without any signs of deterioration; it may even be that later generations will come to regard the Antarctic as the natural storehouse for the whole world. Plans are already
39、on foot to set up permanent bases on the shores of this continent, and what so few years ago was regarded as a “dead continent“ now promises to be a most active center of human life and endeavor.（分数：10.00）(1).When did man begin to explore the Antarctic? _（分数：2.00）A.About 100 years ago.B.In 20th cent
40、ury.C.At the beginning of the 19th century.D.In 1798.(2).What must the explorers be, even though they have modem equipment and techniques? _（分数：2.00）A.Brave and tough.B.Stubborn and arrogant.C.Well-liked and humorous.D.Stout and smart.(3).The most healthy climate in the world is _.（分数：2.00）A.in Sout
41、h AmericaB.in the Arctic RegionC.in the Antarctic ContinentD.in the Atlantic Ocean(4).What kind of metals and minerals can we find in the Antarctic? _（分数：2.00）A.Magnetite, coal and ores.B.Copper, coal and uranium.C.Silver, natural gas and uranium.D.Aluminum, copper and natural gas.(5).What is planne
42、d for the continent? _（分数：2.00）A.Building dams along the coasts.B.Setting up several summer resorts along the coasts.C.Mapping the coast and whole territory.D.Setting up permanent bases on the coasts.Questions 6-10 The Guidford Four, freed last week after spending 15 years in prison for crimes they
43、did not commit, would almost certainly have been executed for the pub bombing they were convicted of. They had the death penalty been in force at the time of their trial. They may now be a decent interval before the pro-hanging lobby, which has the support of the Prime Minister, makes another attemp
44、t to reintroduce the noose. Reflections along these lines were about the only kind of consolation to be derived from this gross miscarriage of justice which is now to be the subject of a judicial inquiry. In the meantime, defense lawyers are demanding compensation and have in mind about half a milli
45、on pounds for each of their clients. The first three to be released-Mr. Gerald Conlon, Mr. Paddy Armstrong and Ms. Carole Richardson-left prison with the 34 pounds which is given to all departing inmates. The fourth, Mr. Paul Hill, was not released immediately but taken to Belfast, where he lodged a
46、n appeal against his conviction for the murder of a former British soldier. Since this conviction, too, was based on the now discredited statements allegedly made to the Survey police, he was immediately let out on bail. But he left empty-handed. The immediate reaction to the scandal was renewed dem
47、and for the re-examination of the case against the Birmingham Six, who are serving life sentences for pub bombings in that city. Thus far the Home Secretary, Mr. Douglas Hurd, is insisting that the two cases are not comparable; that what is now known about the Guilford investigation has no relevance to what happened in Birmingham. Mr. Hurd is right to the extent that there was a small-though flimsy and hotly-contested- amount of crime evidence in the Birmingham case. The disturbing similarity is that the Birmingham Six, like the Guilford F
