If you wish to become a better reader,here are four important things to remember about reading rate: Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly. Some things should be read slowly throughout.Examples are directions for making or doing something,arithmetic problems,science and history books,which are full of important information.You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea. Some things should be read rapidly throughout.Examples are simple stories for enjoyment,news,letters from friends,pieces of news from local or hometown papers,telling what is happening to friends and neighbours. In some of your reading,you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast,as you go along.You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered. 2l.The underlined word“rate”in the first sentence means“ A.fast B.slow C.speed D.skill 答案 解析词义猜测题。文中各点讲的都是读书的速度问题，所以reading rate意为“读书的速度”， 所以rate是“速度”的意思。故选C项。 22.Which should be read slowly according to the passage? A.Stories for enjoyment. B.Arithmetic problems C.Letters from friends. D.News from hometown newspapers 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据“Examples are directions for making or doing something,arithmetic problems,..”可知选B项。 23.How fast should we read? A.The faster,the better. B.The more slowly,the better. C.Neither too fast nor too slow D.It depends on what we are reading. 答案D 解析推理判断题。通过阅读全文可知：有的内容需要仔细读，而有的快速浏览一下就行，是慢 读还是快读取决于所读的内容。故选D项。 B More than 100,and possibly hundreds of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards New Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning,officials said on Monday. An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said that the ice chunks(),spotted by satellite photography,had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island,about 450 kilometres southeast of it. Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs,some measuring more than 200 metres across,were seen in just one cluster(),indicating there could be hundreds more.He said they were the remains of a massive iceberg which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming."All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometres in size when it left Antarctica,"Young told the reporter."It'sdone a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones." He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006,when a number came within 25 kilometres of the coastline-the first such sighting since 1931."They're following the same tracks now up towards New Zealand.Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is difficult to tell,"Young said. Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson said that New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean where the icebergs have been seen

An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said that the ice chunks(块),spotted by satellite photography,had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island,about 450 kilometres southeast of it. Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs,some measuring more than 200 metres across,were seen in just one cluster(串),indicating there could be hundreds more.He said they were the remains of a massive iceberg which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming.“All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometres in size when it left Antarctica,”Young told the reporter.“It’s done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones.” He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006,when a number came within 25 kilometres of the coastline—the first such sighting since 1931.“They’re following the same tracks now up towards New Zealand.Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is difficult to tell,”Young said. Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson said that New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean where the icebergs have been seen
The icebergs are smaller parts of the giant chunks seen off Australia's Macquarie Island this month,including one estimated at two kilometres and another twice the size of Beijing's "Bird's Nest"Olympic Stadium. Young earlier said he expected to see more icebergs in the area if Earth'stemperature continues to increase."If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate()seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up,"he said. 24.We can infer that Auckland Islands is A.to the east of the South Island B.to the south of the South Island C.to the north of the South Island D.to the west of the South Island 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知，这些冰山是从南极漂来的，南极在新西兰的南方，它们朝 新西兰的南岛漂浮，已经漂过了奥克兰岛，由此推断出奥克兰岛在南岛的南方。 25.According to Scientist Neal Young A.these icebergs came from different areas in Antarctic B.these icebergs will completely be melted in a short time C.the biggest of the icebergs is 30 square kilometres in size D.the icebergs or ice chunks are breaking up all the way 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的It's done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones..”可知，首先是一个冰山，后来沿途不 断破裂变成更小的冰山。 26.From the text we learn that A.floating icebergs once reached the South Island in history B.icebergs were over 25 kilometres from the South Island in 2006 C.these icebergs are floating along almost the same course D.floating icebergs were closest from the South Island in 1930 答案C 解析理解判断题。根据第四段中的They're following the same tracks now up towards New Zealand”确定答案为C项。其余选项与原文不符。 27.How does the government deal with the matter? A.Making good use of the icebergs. B.Sending out safe sailing warnings. C.Warning people to protect the environment. D.Noticing the icebergs by satellite photography 答案B 解桐细节理解题。根据第五段中的New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean”可知，新西兰政府发布了在该地区的航海警报，以确 保船只安全。 C Before planes,people travelled by boat.And getting goods from one place to another took a long time,especially when ships had to sail around continents.In the early 1600s,European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia. In 1607 and 1608,British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia.He was searching for a route above the Arctic Circle,and his biggest problem was navigating around icebergs,which blocked his path.After failing twice,Hudson couldn't get a British company to fund his next voyage.He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip. Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4,1609 aboard a ship named HalfMoon.The crew headed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean to America.After several months,he arrived in the New York Harbour and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River.He thought the river might lead to the Pacific Ocean.But he was wrong,and he was forced to turn back to Europe
The icebergs are smaller parts of the giant chunks seen off Australia’s Macquarie Island this month,including one estimated at two kilometres and another twice the size of Beijing’s “Bird’s Nest” Olympic Stadium. Young earlier said he expected to see more icebergs in the area if Earth’s temperature continues to increase.“If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate(预见) seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up,”he said. 24.We can infer that Auckland Islands is .

In 1607 and 1608,British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia.He was searching for a route above the Arctic Circle,and his biggest problem was navigating around icebergs,which blocked his path.After failing twice,Hudson couldn’t get a British company to fund his next voyage.He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip. Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4,1609 aboard a ship named Half Moon.The crew headed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean to America.After several months,he arrived in the New York Harbour and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River.He thought the river might lead to the Pacific Ocean.But he was wrong,and he was forced to turn back to Europe
Hudson made one final attempt in 1610,on a new ship named Discovery.He sailed Discovery across the northern Atlantic.He discovered a large body of water that became known as the Hudson Bay.Unfortunately the Hudson Bay did not lead to Asia.Furthermore.Hudson's luck had run out.Winter weather hit the region and the crew suffered greatly from lack of food and supplies.Discovery had become trapped in thick ice.Hudson's crew became angry.They wanted to return to Europe,but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia.When spring came,the crew revolted (and took control of the ship.They put Hudson,his son,and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay.The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny()were severely punished.Henry Hudson was never seen again 28.What does the underlined word"back"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Arrange. B.Follow. C.Support D.Value. 答案C 解析词义猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的Hudson couldn't get a British company to fund his next voyage”可推测，back在句中与fund意思接近，意为“资助”。故选C项。 29.Which ship was Hudson sailing when he discovered the Hudson River? A.Half Moon B.Discovery. C.A small boat. D.We don't know. 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“aboard a ship named Half Moon”和第三句中的 that is now named the Hudson River'”可知答案。 30.What can be learnt from the text?

D.The Hudson River was discovered during Hudson's second voyage. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的Inl607andl608,British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages'”以及第三段中的Hudson left Amsterdam on April4,l609 aboard a ship'”和第四 段中的Hudson made one final attempt in 1610”可知Hudson在1607-l610年间进行了四次航 行。 31.What was the purpose of Hudson's voyages? A.To look for new land. B.To seek fame and fortune. C.To make scientific research. D.To find a shorter route to Asia 答案D 解桐细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的looking for faster routes to sail to Asia”和第二段 第一句中的to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia'”可知，Hudson航海的目 的是找到一条通往亚洲的更便捷的航线。 0 I like challenges,but this one was almost too difficult.I had begged Mum to take me on a completely new adventure for my sixteenth birthday.Now,here we were,just Mum and me with our guide,Milo,standing on the shore of Lake Arenal in Costa Rica.Towering above the lake was Arenal Volcano,one of the active volcanoes in the area.I watched as the volcano spit out lava and coughed up big rocks.Luckily,we were headed in the other direction. Milo helped us mount our horses.Getting on the back of my horse was difficult,but controlling it was a little easier.We started on our ride.The guidebook said we would cross three rivers.As we splashed through(溅着水花走过)a gentle stream,I asked hopefully,“Is this the first river?" "I don't think so,Katie,"Mum said

Soon enough,we came to a real river.There was no mistaking it.I felt sick to my stomach when I saw that the far shore was half a football field away!The four-foot-deep river flowed over large boulders().So much for dry shoes-or jeans. After two more rivers,the path got steeper and muddier.With each step of the horses' hooves(),there were loud sucking sounds.The rainforest was splendid and absolutely beautiful.But I wondered whether my horse could keep its balance in knee-high mud.What did I know about horses?I imagined my horse moving unsteadily on rocks hidden beneath the mud- and us crashing over a cliff()and being swept away by lava.
