24、ns of the North American continent, living conditions can be extreme and few people have been able to adapt to living there. One race of people, however, have been able to adapt - the Eskimos (爱斯基摩人). They belong to the same race of people as the native North Americans and some Asians, and like them

25、, they have similar physical features - straight black hair, high cheek bones and wide faces. Except for the Eskimos, most people would find living difficult in this part of the world. For much of the year, the land is one large blanket of ice and snow, and temperatures sometimes drop as low as - 51

26、 degrees C. Even the land on the southern borders remains frozen most of the year. But in summer, when the sun begins to melt the uppermost layer of ice, the soil softens and many plants and flowers begin to grow. Trees, on the other hand, are unable to grow because the soil below this top layer rem

27、ains permanently frozen (as deep as 300 meters).In most places in the world, the length of day and night are nearly the same. But here, from the middle of October to the middle of February, it is dark except for the light from the stars and the moon. From the middle of April to the middle of August

28、the sun is always shining, even at night For this reason, this region has been called “the land of the midnight sun”.Most of the inhabitants live in small villages dotted along the coast. Each village may have only a few hundred living there and about 30 to 40 buildings, including shops, a church, a

29、 school and homes. Education has become increasingly important and children are encouraged ed only to learn new. information, but also to maintain their customs, culture, and languages. Those who do go on to high school usually must leave their small villages to attend school in larger communities.

30、Village homes are usually made of wood and have electricity and heat. Further to the north in Canada, homes are built by digging down into the frozen layer of earth and then constructed of earth, stone and some wood. The entry is actually an underground tunnel built lower than the floor of the house

31、 and covered with an animal skin to keep out the cold air. The cold in this region makes it necessary to wear clothing layered year round The Eskimos originally wore clothing made mostly of animal skins, but today they use other more modern materials, such as wool, jeans and heavy cotton.Multiple Ch

32、oice56. The far northern region of the North American continent presents.A. difficulties in choosing the right type of clothingB. living conditions to which most people would have difficulty adaptingC. an interesting life style for the majority of peopleD. ideal conditions for those who like cool we

33、ather.57. The place has been called “the land of the midnight sun” because.A. there are periods when the sun shines continuouslyB. it is dark four months of the yearC. the only light available is from the sun, moon and starsD. the time from midday to midnight is nearly the same year round58. We lear

34、n from this passage that most people in the far northern regions of North America live.A. near the EskimosB. in large coastal townsC. away from the EskimosD. in small villages along the coast59. The most important consideration for people living in this region is.A. maintaining their culture, custom

35、s and languagesB. to cope with the severe living conditionsC. how to build a home on the frozen landD. hunting animals for food and clothing60. Eskimos use more animal skins to meet their needs for clothing, shelter and warmth probably because.A. the elders insist on maintaining this customB. they w

36、ant to maintain their forestsC. animals are most easily available to themD. their level of education is generally lowPassage 2Mammals (哺乳动物) are a large class of animals with the same characteristics - they have a bone down the back, feed their young on the mothers milk, are warm-blooded, and bear l

37、iving young. Most mammals, like humans, dogs, cows and monkeys, have hair and live on land, but there are some that live in water. The most popular of these water mammals is the bottle-nosed dolphin (海豚). The dolphin may be seven to eleven feet long and weigh 300 to 700 pounds. The easiest way to di

38、stinguish a bottle-nosed dolphin is to look at the curve in its mouth which makes it appear to be smiling.Fifty to sixty million years ago in prehistoric times the dolphin was related to land animals that left the land to live in the sea. Because there is no recorded history of that time, no one kno

39、ws why this happened, but through studying the dolphin now, scientists believe the dolphin descended from a grass-eating animal, much like the cow. Modern dolphins eat fish, yet their stomachs and bled are like those of animals that eat plants.The dolphins ancestors, believed to have resembled a pig

40、 but with a strong, thick tail, seemed to be attracted to water areas where they searched for food. Over time, the animals form evolved through many changes that increased their adaptability for life in the water. These changes developed slowly over many years. Nature played the major role in what w

41、e see as the dolphin today, because the stronger and more fitted one form of dolphin was for living in the water, then that form was the one that lived. This process is known process is known as natural selection and happens in all forms of life. The fit survive, and those that arent, die.No longer

42、does the dolphin have four short legs the front ones have become flippers (鳍), fleshy limbs on the sides of their bodies that are used in steering through the water. These limbs still contain the bone structure of legs and feet. The back legs were not needed in the water, but there are still traces

43、of the bones in dolphins today. Additionally, they no longer have hair and the overall shape of the dolphin has changed, as well. The body is more smooth with a big, broad, strong tail. The head has lengthened and the mouth has developed into a fish catcher. The nose has become a hole on the top of

44、the dolphins head, making it easier for the dolphin to breathe air above the water. These changes have made the dolphin more suited for living in the sea.Multiple Choice61. The main purpose of this article is.A. to discuss how dolphins have evolved over timeB. to describe the dolphins physical chara

45、cteristicsC. to talk about the changes of life forms in the seaD. to explain the process of natural selection62. The dolphins ancestors became dolphins of today.A. when they had to search for food in the waterB. by living first on land and then in waterC. through changes that occurred slowly over ma

46、ny yearsD. once their legs developed into flippers63. Scientists think that the dolphins ancestors.A. were fish eatersB. lived on grassC. were pigsD. used to live in the sea64. According to the passage,“ natural selection”means that.A. eventually all animals in nature must dieB. nature provides the

47、fittest environment for animals to surviveC. it is natural for animals to select which way to evolveD. only the fittest animals are able to survive.65. We can conclude from the passage that.A. all animals are subject to the process of natural selectionB. the sea has proved to be the best place for m

48、ammals to liveC. all life forms evolve, and much in the pine wayD. mammals evolve most slowly in naturePassage 3The image of the typical Australian has often been one of a tough, lean character who speaks directly and to the point. This man (or woman) is thought to be a practical man, rough and read

49、y in manner and quick to condemn anyone who pretends to be something hes not. Able to devise ways to make things work and willing to “have a go” at anything, he is also willing to be content with completing a task just short of perfection. He is capable of hard work when it is called for, but only w

50、ith proper justification. He is reserved in speech rather than talkative, swears often and drinks heavily. He often questions the value of organized religion and would never consider pursuing intellectual and cultural interests. Physical ability or power earned through the sweat of ones brow seems t

51、o speak more to this man than ones position or wealth, especially when inherited. He is fiercely independent and dislikes authority, yet is easily sociable and loyal to his “mates”, sticking by his friends even if he thinks they may be wrong. This image of a typical Australian was actually derived f

52、rom a small minority of the population in the latter part of the 19th century who wandered from one place to another working at short term jobs, never establishing themselves.On the contrary, this image is far removed from the picture of how the majority of Australians live today. Modern Australia i

53、s home to one of the most urbanized populations in the world today with mainly a middle class society. As opposed to wandering throughout their lives, most Australians own their homes and work in white-collar, or business related, jobs. As with most urbanized societies, fewer and fewer people work i

54、n rural settings or as unskilled labor. This change has been due to the growth in higher education and to the increase in the numbers of younger people accounted for in recent population surveys. Population counts also confirm that Australia is no longer made up primarily of a “white” race with some

55、 native peoples, but has become a blend of Europeans, Greeks, Italians, Asians and others who have added a depth of culture to what is still a fairly new society.So while the image or tale of what some believe to be the typical Australian can easily be denied or found to have little substance, there

56、 are those who desire to retain this image. Why? Perhaps because its features distinguish them from the average, perhaps because this character has been romanticized or perhaps theres just a bit of truth in the description.Multiple Choice66. From the image painted in the first paragraph, the typical

57、 Australian. A. is religious and interested in cultureB. will work hard. when there is a needC. is quiet and unsociableD. lacks imagination67. Which of the following did Australians use to respect most?A. Ones position and power.B. Ones intellectual abilityC. Ones wealthD. Ones physical ability68. I

58、t can be said that the image of the typical Australian .A. is descriptive of the majority of the population todayB. is true to majority of the population in the late 1800sC. is based on imagination rather than on factD. is quite vivid and accurate69. The urbanization in Australia has mainly resulted

59、 from.A. the increase in youth population and the growth of higher educatedB. more people moving from job to jobC. the fast development of farming and unskilled laborD. a blend of different cultures70. It can be concluded from the passage tha.A. racial blending has benefited Australias cultureB. urb

60、anization has completely destroyed Australias traditional imageC. most Australians want to maintain their traditional imageD. Australia is still mainly composed of white peoplePassage 4Communication is an event that occurs every day; whether a teacher is explaining a difficult concept to a class, a
