Cultural Relics in the UK
Thirty million people come to the UK every year and much of the attraction lies in Britain’s cultural relics - its palaces, cathedrals (大教堂), castles and museums. 1.
Experience easy-to-reach city traffic.
London is usually the visitor’s first choice. 2. There is the underground system, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London. Several famous people were imprisoned here - including one of King Henry Ⅷ’s wives, Anne Bolevn.
3.
Taking a walk around the city is easy since there are maps in the streets to show you what is within a five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and its famous clock tower, Big Ben. Walk east towards the City, the capital’s financial district, and you won’t fail to find St Paul’s Cathedral. It was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Take a friend up to the Whispering Gallery in the dome, stand on different sides and have a conversation by putting your ear to the wall and speaking very softly to each other.
Appreciate Stone enigma.
For one of the earliest and most amazing man-made structures in Britain, you shouldn’t miss Stonehenge. Standing on windy Salisbury Plain, the ancient stone circle draws visitors from all over the world to think about how it got there and why it was built. 4.
A. The answer is still a puzzle.
B. So what exactly are they visiting?
C. Visit valuable relics in the countryside.
D. It has everything you would expect in a city.
E. Getting around is not too difficult.
F. Go around the city of London on foot.

The past 70 years have been good for corn production in the Midwestern United States, with yields increasing fivefold since the 1940s. Much of this improvement has been credited to advances in farming technology but researchers at Harvard University are asking if changes in climate and local temperature may be playing a bigger role than previously thought.
In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural cooling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U.S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate,” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change.
Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing planet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planting means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.
There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actually cooled.
The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use is significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.
1.What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?
A.Local temperature change. B.Advanced farming technology.
C.Climate change. D.Production efficiency.
2.Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield?
A.The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture.
B.We can change the climate to improve crop yield.
C.We depend on the climate to get food.
D.Crop yield relies less on the climate.
3.How many factors that benefit corn yields are mentioned in the text?
A.4. B.3.
C.2. D.1.
4.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To explain a mystery. B.To question a common sense.
C.To show a new trend. D.To introduce a research result.

D
Antarctica is the southernmost place on Earth, and it is larger than the United Sates and 95% of it is covered with ice. The ice is 5 kilometers thick at places and it never melts. At least that is what we thought, but let us keep it that way for now.
The ice seems to be alive as it works its way towards the seA． It forms an ice shelf over the water. The edge breaks away from the shelf and falls into the seA． From here it drifts. Now big pieces of ice become icebergs that can be 160 km long. They now drift north until they finally melt and become part of the ocean. This process is part of a bigger process which in turn forms a cooling system for Earth. This is so important that no country is allowed to control this areA． The treaty (agreement) signed by 12 countries at first and later joined by more, was to prevent any country harming the planet with irresponsible behavior.
The treaty basically states that:
Antarctica can be used for peaceful purposes only.
No country may build a military base there.
No country may do a nuclear test there.
No country may dump nuclear waste there.
Scientists working there will share their information.
Some other rules are there to protect the penguins and seals.
No dogs may run loose.
No planes may land near large groups of animals.
No guns, explosives, or tractors may be used near the animals.
Most important is that every member can inspect any of the other bases if he suspects that the treaty rules are being broken.
While the treaty is not foolproof（万无一失的）, it does play a very important part in the protection of AntarcticA． The more people realize the effects that pollution has on this continent, the bigger the pressure will be on Governments to change the way they look at pollution.
69．Why was it important to sign a treaty for Antarctica?
A．Because the ice on Antarctica will finally melt into the ocean.
B．Because Antarctica is covered with 5 kilometers thick ice.
C．Because Antarctica balances the temperature of Earth.
D．Because there are many big icebergs in AntarcticA．
70．What is the process of the movement of ice in Antarctica?
A．Ice shelf---sea water---iceberg---ice.
B．Sea water---ice---iceberg---ice shelf.
C．Iceberg---ice shelf---ice---sea water.
D．Ice---ice shelf---iceberg---sea water.
71．What is included in the Antarctica treaty?
A．There is no secret research information in AntarcticA．
B．Dogs are not allowed to be raised in AntarcticA．
C．Waste can’t be thrown away in AntarcticA．
D．People can’t bring their guns to AntarcticA．
