Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is what she wrote about the trip.
| Tuesday December 2 We planned to go to Rothera (罗瑟拉站) that morning. We would stay there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on the earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all. We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather. It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly. |
| Wednesday December 3 After waking up in Antarctica for the first time, I can understand why everybody who comes here loves the place. It is really beautiful. We are staying at Rothera Survey Base (基地) with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today. It is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirt. |
| Thursday December 4 I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here. It’s a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course (课程) before we are allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill. |
| Saturday December 6 Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket). The most wonderful thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there every day.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly and thankfully. |
1.Lisa had a nervous wait in Stanley because of _____________.
A.Strong winds B.Thick clouds
C.Mountain of ice D.Low temperature

4.What impressed (使…印象深刻) Lisa most about Antarctica?

C.The weather was sometimes warm D.The scenery changes every day

A.Lisa will stay in Rothera Survey Base for about two weeks.
B.Lisa often sees the people wearing the thick jackets in the base.
C.Lisa can go snowboarding if she finishes the training course.
D.Lisa didn’t expect that the mountains of ice could move at first.
6.The writing is most probably from Lisa’s __________.
A.notebook B.diary C.homework D.book

Recently, a foreign student in China has given a very touching answer to the questions: What should China be proud of? Lots of people have d1. it with great enthusiasm (热情) on the Internet.
Emma is from Canada, and she came to China four years ago. Now she is a university student in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. The following w2. are about what China is like in the foreign girl’s eyes.
“Finding a job in China can be very s3.. China offers more job chances than any other country in the world.”
“Its public security is also great. I’ve travelled to many countries, and I dare not (不敢) go out alone at night, but it’s different in China. I needn’t worry about my s4. at all, even at midnight.”
“Now about 400 million Chinese people are studying English. China has the largest number of English speakers in non-English speaking countries. It is quite an a5. number, isn’t it?
“The speed of Chinese trains is high. During my third visit to my friend in Beijing, I chose to take a train to go there. It took seven hours to get to Beijing from Ningbo by train. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for only seven hours, which makes it more c6. for people to ply (定时往来) between the two cities.”
“I think there’ll be many more things China will be proud of. I strongly believe the big oriental country must be much better than other countries.”

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容，回答下列问题)：
Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.
You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.
Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.
They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.
For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飞速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.
But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.
1.The message was from the people of the earth, wasn’t it?
2.How soon will the people on the earth see a huge spaceship?
3.Why did the speaker’s ancestors seldom travel in space?
4.How did the speaker’s ancestors keep in touch with their relatives and friends?
5.What happened to the earth two million years ago?
6.How will you feel after you hear the radio message? Why?
