25、   Antarctica(南极洲) is known for being a vast land of ice and snow, a place too cold for most life. Despite (尽管) this, the continent is slowly starting to turn warm. According to the Guardian, the Antarctic has registered (登记) a new high temperature for the first time on record, prompting fears of climate instability(不稳定性) in the world’s iciest place.

On Feb 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy continent of Antarctica. It was almost a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8℃, taken on Signy Island in January 1982.

This record-breaking reading was taken at a monitoring (监测) station in the northern part of Antarctica. According to Brazilian soil scientist Carlos Schaefer, the temperature was documented during a 20-year-long research project. The focus of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost (永久冻土) within the region. Permafrost is soil that stays frozen for at least two years. Although this is a first record high for Antarctica, Schaefer stressed that “We can’t use this to anticipate (预测) climatic changes in the future. It’s simply a signal that something different is happening in that area.”

But in fact, the last high temperature reading was in the 19℃ range. These higher temperatures can cause ice and glaciers (冰川) in Antarctic regions to melt. The Antarctic peninsula (半岛) —the long finger of land(狭长地带) that stretches towards Argentina（阿根廷）—is most dramatically affected. Scientists saw glaciers that have retreated by more than 100 meters in Discovery Bay where the snow melted in little more than a week, leaving dark exposed rock. This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can threaten the safety of coastal areas. It’s believed to be behind an alarming decline of more than 50 percent in chinstrap penguin (帽带企鹅) colonies, which are dependent on sea ice.

Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, “The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.” We should do everything we can to help save our planet. Otherwise, it may become too hot for us to fix.

A.Signy Island is the warmest region in the Antarctic.

C.The average temperature of Antarctica ranges from 19.8 C to 20.75℃.

D.Antarctica’s new record temperature is a full degree higher than the previous decade.

【2】What’s the main purpose of the 20-year-long research project?

A.To predict possible climatic change in the future.

B.To monitor Antarctica’s contributions to world climate change.

C.To explain why the permafrost may cause glaciers to melt.

D.To examine how the permafrost is influenced by climate change.

【3】What does the underlined word “retreated” probably mean?

A.Moved backward. B.Increased in size.

C.Covered a certain area D.Stretched in an opposite direction.

【4】According to the text, the melted glacier may lead to________.

A.the pollution of ocean water B.the release of various viruses

C.threats to penguin habitats D.disappearances of coastal cities

27、C

“Find a job you love，and you’ll never work a day in your life．”Do you agree with this old saying？Joanne Gordon does．She is the author of Be Happy at Work and other books about careers(职业)．Gordon believes that about 30％ of employees(雇员)in North America do not like their jobs，and she thinks that is terrible．She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied(满意)with their jobs find work that is good for them．Joanne says，“There are no happy jobs，only happy workers．”She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics(特点)．

First，happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs，and they look forward to the workday．Take Tony Hawk，for example．At age 14，he became a professional skateboarder．Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games，but he still skates every day．He once said．“My youngest son’s preschool class was recently asked what their dads do for work．My son said，‘I’ve never seen my dad do work．’”Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work．He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys．

Second，happy workers like the people they work with．Sally Ayote says，“I work with the coolest people in the world．”She and her group cook for almost 1，200 people in Antarctica．Most of these people are scientists who are doing research．Sally loves to sit and talk with them．She says，“There is no television here，no radio，so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying．”Sally thinks she has a great job，and the best part about it is the people．

Third，happy workers know that their work helps others．Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers．She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid，which shows movies in refugee(难民)camps around the world．Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps．For one thing，entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while．Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety．For example，in one camp，thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water．Caroline knows that she is helping other people，and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work．

Tony Hawk，Sally Ayote，and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work．Tony Hawk says，“Find the thing you love．If you are doing what you love，there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous．”Joanne Gordon would agree．She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing，find people they like to work with，and find ways to help others．Then they can be proud of what they do，and they will probably be happy at work．

A．difficult jobs are terrible

B．there are no happy jobs，only happy workers

C．rich and famous people have much more happiness than workers

D．only about one third of the employees in North America like their jobs

【3】Why did Tony Hawk’s son say，“I’ve never seen my dad do work．”？

A．Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work．

B．Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating．

C．Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating．

D．Because Tony Hawk always finds something else he enjoys doing．

【4】Tony Hawk，Sally Ayote，and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us________．

A．how to be a successful businessman

B．how to help people in difficulties

C．how to get along with the coolest people

D．how to become a happy worker
