Ice, wind and low temperatures make a trip to Antarctica an impossibility outside of November through March. You'll also have to consider the almost prohibitive cost of your ship ticket—from about US $3,500 to US $25,000, This doesn’t cover airfare to your port of departure, which is usually in South America, Australia or New Zealand.‎ Deciding what kind of boat on which to travel will make all the difference as accommodations vary greatly from one to the next. Large ships, which might carry from 500 to 30,000 passengers, are good for vacationers and learners, but they never dock at a port. Smaller ships, such as yachts(快艇) and dive boats, allow you on the continent, and their staff plan various physical activities for visitors.‎ ‎  Those who actually get their feet on the ground will be privileged to have a very unique experience, including many educational opportunities. Tours of active scientific research facilities manned by biologists are often available. Visitors are also able to see various penguins and seals, some of which are brave enough to get up close. Finally, a few adventurous ones will enjoy mountaineering and diving during their time on the icy land. ‎ ‎  Another consideration that must be made when visiting Antarctica is one’s environmental footprint. Every tourist, guide, researcher and ship makes an impact on this faraway part of our Earth. Precautions(预防措施) such as time limits on land, keeping a 5-metre distance from animals and rules against taking or leaving anything on the continent are strictly kept. Some wonder if it's better for people just to stay away from Antarctica if they are so likely to affect the land negatively. But most will say that seeing Antarctica helps make the world more aware of the part this beautiful location plays in the global environment.‎ ‎21.What does the underlined word “prohibitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Common. B.Additional. C.Reasonable. D.Unaffordable. 22.What can we learn about passengers on large ships? A.They are on board throughout the trip. B.They can enjoy various physical activities. C.They can get very close to local animals. D.They have a chance to land on the continent.‎ ‎23.What do most people think of the trips to Antarctica? A.Dangerous. B.Economical. C.Educational. D.Destructive.‎ B ‎ When I’m in Italy, I generally only eat Italian food. I doubt there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.‎ ‎  To eat well in Italy,finding the right restaurant is key. I appreciate personality-driven restaurants,run by people keen to share their love of good cooking,and places serving family recipes. Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location,lots of locals, and a small, handwritten menu in one language. The menu is small because they’re only selling everything they’re cooking; it’s ‎ handwritten because it’s shaped by what is fresh today in the market; and it’ s in one language because they mostly serve locals.‎ ‎    For a fast and cheap lunch, I look for Italian food in corner delis(熟食店): either a rosticceria, specializing in roasted meats and antipasti(开胃食物), or a hot table bar —a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables. Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts, cheeses, and other foods for a picnic.‎ ‎    Italians tend to spend a long time on each course,and dinner is the evening’s entertainment. For example, when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant, you don't get out until midnight; a three-hour meal is common. Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving. When you want the bill, you’ll have to ask for it. To “eat and run” is seen as a lost opportunity.‎ ‎    A couple of years ago, I sat down at my favorite place in Verona, Enoteca Can Grande,with my friend and guide Franklin. We let the chef,Giuliano,bring us whatever he wanted. Just after the antipasti arrived, Franklin’s wife phoned him and said,“Don’t eat too much cheese or dessert.” Later Franklin, who was not thin, surveyed our table. Sighing, he said,“The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few.”‎ ‎    "That’s a pity,” I said.‎ ‎    I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours. Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.‎ 24. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1? A.He doesn’t have many food choices in Italy. B.Italian food is the best all over Europe. C.He has a great tooth for Italian food. D.He doesn’t like trying foreign food. 25.Where does the author like eating while in Italy? A.At a restaurant at a high-rent location. ‎ B.At a restaurant that locals visit frequently. C.At a place where waiters don't just speak Italian. ‎ D.At a place which provides various food choices.‎ ‎26.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Ways to eat simply and cheaply in Italy. B.Ways to prepare simple food in Italy. C.Places to have a picnic in Italy. D.Nice places to eat in Italy. 27.What do we learn about Italians at dinner in a restaurant? A.They like ordering lots of drinks. B.They don't consider it fun. C.They usually spend much time on dinner. D.They don't like ordering much food.‎ C ‎ It is a tiny portrait of one of the most powerful women of the Renaissance. And for more than 50 years the old BBC journalist Charles Wheeler kept the picture of Eleonora of Toledo on his bookshelf.‎ ‎    But yesterday Wheeler returned the painting to Berlin’ s Gemaldegalerie after discovering that it was a priceless original looted(掠夺) from the museum during the Second World War, not a copy as he had thought.‎ ‎    Wheeler, 83, acquired the 16th-century portrait by the Florentine artist Alessandro Allori from a German farmer who dropped in to the BBC’s West Berlin office.“It was 1952. At the time people could move freely between East and West," he said yesterday. "We were doing a programme called Letters Without Signature, where people living in the eastern zone could write a letter. The farmer reached into his pocket, took out a brown envelope and said it was a wedding present for me." The farmer claimed he had got it from a Russian soldier in exchange for two sacks of potatoes to make vodka. Over the next 50-plus years Wheeler, one of the BBC’s most distinguished foreign journalists,took the miniature(小画像) with him.“I was burgled four times over the years,” he said. “People were always taking my TV and radio. But they ignored the painting.”‎ ‎    It was only last year while making a BBC radio series on missing art that Wheeler realised the painting could have been stolen. After contacting the London-based Commission for Looted Art in Europe the work was swiftly identified as a minor masterpiece and returned yesterday to Berlin’ s picture gallery, where it was last seen in 1939.‎ ‎    Yesterday Anne Webber, co-chair of the commission, hailed(赞扬) the work as one of the “earliest diplomatic portraits of a woman”. “It’ s a charming painting.” she said. The miniature depicts(描绘) Eleonora of Toledo, whose husband Cosimo de Medici was one of Renaissance Italy's most powerful men.‎ 28. Charles Wheeler kept the miniature on his bookshelf because __________. A.he thought it was of little value B.he thought it would be safer there C.he liked the picture very much D.he wanted it to be seen by others 29.The miniature was probably taken from the Berlin’s picture gallery by ________. A.a burglar B.a German farmer C.a Russian soldier D.a worker at the gallery 30.In what way is the miniature considered to be priceless? A.It survived the Second World War. ‎ B.It depicts a powerful woman of the Renaissance. C.It is a masterpiece by a famous artist in Germany. ‎ D.It was painted more than 50 years ago. 31.From the passage we can learn __________. A.the painting was drawn by a woman of the Renaissance B.Allori gave the journalist the painting as a wedding present C.Charles Wheeler has kept the painting for over 50 years D.Eleonora of Toledo was one of the most powerful men in Italy D Scientists in England are using two self-directed water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea. The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland. The area is ‎ known for its strange sea life. Scientists want to know why this part of the Atlantic Ocean attracts so many marine animals. ‎ One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries. It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton, England, and the World Wildlife Fund. The vehicle’s low energy requirements permit it to stay afloat for up to 30 days. Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite. ‎ Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the craft. He says the vehicle has equipment that can detect small organisms called zooplankton(浮游生物) and fish. He adds that other sensing devices measure water currents and other features of sea life. ‎ Another vehicle is powered by solar panels and a wind turbine. It can stay afloat for months. The robotic vehicle sends information about the so-called biodiversity hotspots. A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity. ‎ Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the biodiversity of the Celtic Sea. She says productive ocean areas,like the Celtic Sea, attract zooplankton. The zooplankton then attracts fish. She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds. ‎ Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the seas with manned laboratories. Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collected information.They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection. ‎ ‎32.What is the Celtic Sea famous for? ‎ A.Its unusual sea life. B.Its special water quality. ‎ C.Its marine animals. D.Its huge sea winds. ‎ ‎33.How does the robotic vehicle staying afloat for months get its energy? ‎ A.Only by batteries. B.By the energy produced by sea waves. ‎ C.By the machines under the sea. D.By solar panels and a wind turbine. ‎ ‎34.According to Lavinia Suberg, what is the primary cause of the biodiversity hotspot? ‎ A.Fish. B.Birds. C.Zooplankton. D.Sea mammals. ‎ ‎35.The best title of the text is likely to be _______. ‎ A.Scientists Better Understand the Celtic Sea B.Water Vehicles Dive into the Celtic Sea ‎ C.The Celtic Sea Is Very Productive D.Water Robots Explore the Celtic Sea 第二节(共 5 小题,每小题3分,满分15分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. __36___ ‎ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. ___37___ So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such ‎ diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. ___38___However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.‎ Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.___39___We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.‎ ‎___40___But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.‎ A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.‎ B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.‎ C.In that case, they would live much healthier.‎ D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.‎ E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.‎ F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.‎ G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".‎ 第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分55) ‎ 第一节完形填空(共 20 小题;每小题2分,满分40分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Our apartment has been hit by a “hurricane”.
