5.她为什么谢绝你的邀请？ Why did she your invitation? 答案turn down 四、阅读理解 A Like many American people,I have a"bucket list".It's something along the lines of the top-10-things-to-see-or-do-before-you-die"lists published on travel web sites. "Set foot on all seven continents"has always been on my list.This past February,after nearly six months of planning,I was fortunate to be able to knock off two-the most amazing being Antarctica the other South America I chose an optimal time to go to Antarctica-summer in the Southern Hemisphere()- and found a tour company online that was able to accommodate my needs.It is a costly adventure,especially when travelling solo,but iExplore put together a package for me that was perfect. IExplore not only got me to the continent,but allowed me the opportunity to set foot on it.Many tour companies will put you on a ship that sails through the area,weaving between islands and giving views of the shore.But to actually set foot on the continent is a rare and impressive treat. One of the tour leaders on our boat estimated that the total number of people who have actually set foot on this land-tourists,scientists and explorers-would only fill a very large football stadium.This is because tourism to Antarctica didn't really exist until roughly 15 years ago and has only recently taken off in popularity. There are also rules and restrictions for visiting set up by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators.Take nothing away,and leave nothing behind. My plan was simple.Arrive in Ushuaia,Argentina,and get on the M/V Orlova,an ice- strengthened Russian ship,to spend 10 days exploring Antarctica. We saw paradise in a frozen form.No traffic noise,no pollution,no road rage(though some penguins fought over stones)-just clear skies,fresh air and undisturbed beauty for miles. Months later,I still wish I could be there sitting with the penguins,taking it all in. 1.When the author started his travel,what season was it in America? A.Spring. B.Summer C.Autumn D.Winter. 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句和第三段第一句chose an optimal time to go一summer in the Southern Hemisphere..”可知，作者是在北半球是冬季的时候出发的。故选D项。 2.What is Orlova? A.A city in Argentina B.A ship to Antarctica. C.An airplane to Argentina D.The capital in a ship. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“.…get on the M/V Orlova,,an ice-strengthened Russian ship,to spend 10 days exploring Antarctica.”可知，答案为B项。 3.What can we infer from the passage? A.Few tourists have set foot on the land,but Antarctica tourism is growing in popularity. B.The author thought it was too expensive to travel to Antarctica and unacceptable. C.Anyone who has enough money can set foot on Antarctica. D.To Americans,summer time is the best time for them to visit Antarctica. 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第五段可知，A项正确；从第三段中的It is a costly adventure.”可知，作 者认为这样的旅行是昂贵的，但是从文章后面部分可知，他接受了，所以B项不正确：从文章倒 数第四段中的“There are also rules and restrictions for visiting set up.”可知，并不是只要有钱就 可以踏上南极洲的土地，故C项不正确；从第三段中的chose an optimal time to go to

I chose an optimal time to go to Antarctica—summer in the Southern Hemisphere(半球)— and found a tour company online that was able to accommodate my needs.It is a costly adventure,especially when travelling solo,but iExplore put together a package for me that was perfect. IExplore not only got me to the continent,but allowed me the opportunity to set foot on it.Many tour companies will put you on a ship that sails through the area,weaving between islands and giving views of the shore.But to actually set foot on the continent is a rare and impressive treat.

A.Few tourists have set foot on the land,but Antarctica tourism is growing in popularity. B.The author thought it was too expensive to travel to Antarctica and unacceptable. C.Anyone who has enough money can set foot on Antarctica. D.To Americans,summer time is the best time for them to visit Antarctica. 答案 A 解析推理判断题。根据第五段可知,A 项正确;从第三段中的“It is a costly adventure...”可知,作 者认为这样的旅行是昂贵的,但是从文章后面部分可知,他接受了,所以 B 项不正确;从文章倒 数第四段中的“There are also rules and restrictionsfor visiting set up...”可知,并不是只要有钱就 可以踏上南极洲的土地,故 C 项不正确;从第三段中的“I chose an optimal time to go to
Antarctica-一summer in the Southern Hemisphere.”可知，在南半球夏季时是去南极洲旅行的最 好的季节，故D项不正确。 4.What does the author think of the travel? A.Awful. B.Wonderful C.Unpleasant D.Ordinary 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为这次旅行是美好的。故B项正确。 B Imagine being a crew member,hundreds of years ago,sailing in southern waters.Your captain is searching for food while exploring unfamiliar waters.Your job is to watch the sea off the ship's side for ice.The wind is cold on your face.Alongside the ship,a fish darts( )past.Another slows to a stop and raises its head above the water to look at you.How could a fish do that? Did the sailors see fish with feathers or swimming birds?Today,we know that the sailors saw birds that developed the ability to swim.Their wings became flippers(鳍状肢)，and they could“fly” through the water with amazing speed. There are many types of penguins.Only two kinds raise their young on the continent of Antarctica.Adelie penguins grow up to 29 inches tall and have a white ring around each eye.Emperor penguins have yellow orange colour near their necks.Standing about 35 inches tall,they are the tallest penguins living today. Emperor penguins have nests on top of their feet.Father Emperor penguins keep the egg on top of their feet for more than two months,until the egg is ready to hatch.The mother penguin goes out for food during that time.Imagine holding an egg on your feet for two months until someone returns with food! Male and female penguins are both good parents.Once the chicks hatch,both parents travel long distances to find food for them in the sea.It may be days before the parents return and the chicks eat again.When they return with food,the fun really begins.Chicks chase their parents,begging for food.Penguin chicks eat huge amounts at one time. Eventually,the adult penguins stop feeding the chicks.This is nature's way of forcing children to grow up.When the penguin chicks are hungry enough,they find their way to the sea.Without any swimming lessons,they make their way into the icy waters and swim as only penguins do. 5.What does the author mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1? A.It is dangerous to sail in unfamiliar waters. B.The ice covers southern waters as far as we can see. C.Penguins seemed unusual when the sailors first saw them. D.It is difficult to find food if sailing in southern waters. 答案C 解析推理判断题。在第一段中作者带领读者回到几百年前，将自己想象成为一名船员，在南 极海域第一次见到企鹅后，竟然发出这样的感慨How could a fish do that??由此推知，作者这 样写作是为了说明人们第一次见到企鹅时感到很奇怪。 6.We now know that penguins seen by the sailors hundreds of years ago were_ A.fish with the ability to fly B.birds that had learned to swim C.birds that could fly into the sea D.fish with black and white feathers 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的Today,we know that the sailors saw birds that developed the ability to swim.”可知，几百年前船员们看到的企鹅是会游泳的鸟。 7.Why does the author say "the fun really begins"when the parents return with food? A.The chicks play games with each other while eating. B.The chicks run after the parents while trying to get food C.The chicks have to find their way to the sea to get more food. D.The chicks have to search for the food the parents have hidden
