Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience. Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods. A new study from Switzerland, sheds light on (使某事清楚明白地显示) where ice sheets (冰川) melted during the ice age. It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern regions (区域). This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern (伯恩大学). Scientists have long assumed (假设) that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere (半球) during the 30,000 year long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up. The researchers used a computer model to look at ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence (证据) of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time. The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would have been a bigger impact (影响) on ocean currents (流) and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too. The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South. It is still a mystery (神秘的事物) as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt. The North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. So scientists thought that______. A most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere B most of the ice melted in the Southern hemisphere C The North Pole is colder than the South Pole D The South Pole is colder than the North Pole 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据Scientists have long assumed(假设)that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere(半球)during the 30，000 year long ice age． That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land．．．可知答案。 第2题 The scientists are not sure______. A how long the ice age lasted B where ice sheets (冰川) melted during the ice age C what caused the temperature changes D what the earth is made up of 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据It is still a mystery(神秘的事物)as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt可知，人们现在还没有找到引起气温变化的原因。 第3题 The passage is mainly about______. A a computer model B studies which show ice melted equally in the North and the South during the ice age C most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere (半球) during the 30,000 year long ice age D a survey result 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据主题句ice melted equally in the North and the South可知，本文主要讲述一个新的科学发现：冰川时期的冰川融化是在南北极均匀进行的。 第4题 We can infer from the passage______. A the ice can easily just slip into the ocean B volcanoes caused the ice to melt C melting just in the Northern hemisphere would have been impossible D researchers often use the computer models to help their research work 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere Would have been impossible，too可知，冰川只在南半球融化也是不可能的，故可推断出“冰川只在北半球融化是不可能的”。 第5题 New York's streets were covered by people dressed in elephant costumes (服装)and others waving anti war posters with pictures of U. S. President George W. Bush on them last week. But this was no carnival (狂欢节)— it was the Republican Party's National Convention (共和党全国大会), which attracted thousands of protestors (抗议者). It was the largest protest ever at a U. S. political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29. They demanded that the U. S. leave Iraq and a new president be chosen. The Republicans say the opposition — Democrat Party (民主党) encouraged the people on to the streets. They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2. The election is described as "the decisive battle between donkey and elephant". The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the U.S. The elephant represents (象征) the Republicans, whose candidate (候选人) , President George W. Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term. The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House. Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative (守旧的). In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn (倔强的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous. The Republicans have been sending e-mails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, "An Elephant Never Forgets", said party spokeswoman Heather Layman. Elephants are known for their long memories. The e-mails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his words. It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nest, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century. During the election in 1874, Nest drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lion's skin frightened an elephant marked "Republican". In the eyes of the Republicans, the donkey is considered as______. A clever B foolish C polite D brave 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn(倔强的)and silly可知，共和党人把驴子看作愚蠢、固执的动物。 第6题 Which of the following in NOT true? A The same artist created the two symbols. B The e-mails suggest Kerry will not carry out his promises. C "An Elephant Never Forgets" means that an elephant has a bad memory. D John Kerry is a Democrat. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据Elephants are known for their long memories．．．可知C错误。 第7题 In the passage, the donkey stands for ______. A the White House B the Republicans C the Democrats D John Kerry 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据The donkey represents the Democrats可知，驴子指美国的民主党。 第8题 What does "kick the elephant out of the White House" mean? A Drive the animal ont of the White House. B Drive President Bush out of power. C Keep the elephant out of the White House. D Insist on Bush's being elected. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 把大象赶出白宫，指把布什总统赶下台来。 第9题 A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing, once said, "Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover." Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (契诃夫), was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story. When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov's medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov's stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov's works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) of an artist. Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.

B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in. office polities — a better job, a raise, praise — many people are still unable or unwilling — to "play the game". "People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior," says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. "But politics derives from the word 'polite'. It can mean lobbying (游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting something in return." In fact, today, experts define office polities as proper behavior used to pursue one's own self interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. "The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis," says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. "But if two or three can—dates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ablity, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human nature." Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. It is the author's view that______. A self promotion does not necessarily mean flattery B hard work contributes very little to one's promotion C many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery D speaking up for oneself is part of human nature 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self promotion可知，个人提升并不一定意味着奉承。 第14题 To get promoted, one must not only. by competent but______.

A unwelcome at the workplace B bad for interpersonal relationships C an important factor for personal advancement D indispensable to the development of company culture 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion，each of whom has reasonably similar ability， a manager is going to promote the person he or she like best．It's simple human nature可知，作者认为office politics是个人进步 (提升)的一个重要因素。 第16题 "Office politics" in the fourth paragraph is used in the passage to refer to______.

Terence, an experienced traveler who has been to Iraq, will be the guest of honor on aviation (飞行、航空) legend Burt Rutan's Spaceship One when it flies above Earth. The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the cuddly toy will be auctioned off (拍卖) in aid of the North Air Ambulance Appeal (北部空中救护服务中心). Spaceship One is the world's first private spacecraft, and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize. Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Graham Pickering, said "flying officer" Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since. He said, "Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft, trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly. When the RAF finally discharges him he will be a very rare bear indeed — we just hope he does not burn up on reentry to Earth." GNAAS, which needs charitable donations of more than ￡2m a year, has three air ambulances (空中救护机). Peter Bond, spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said Terence's safety was not guaranteed. He said, "This is a new and experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown. During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved." Since May, Terence has spent time with members of 100 squadron (空军中队) based at RAF Lemming in Basra, Iraq, and at air shows with performing fighter planes. Spaceship One will fly 100km(62 miles)above the earth's surface, just breaking through the planet's atmosphere. If it repeats the feat (技艺) inside two weeks, it will claim the $10m Ansari X Prize set up to encourage the private space flight business. Which of the following is the best title? A Teddy Bear Astronaut to Lift off B Spaceship One to Lift off C Space Flight D The Toy Bear Will Be Auctioned off 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据主题句A teddy bear from Cumbria is launching into space to raise cash for charity可知本文主要讲“为慈善事业募捐的泰迪熊Terence将搭乘‘太空飞船一号’邀游太空”，故A最佳。 第18题 Which of the following is TRUE of Spaceship One?

A after this space flight, Spaceship One will get the $10m Ansari X Prize B it is dangenms for a spaceship to reenter the earth atmosphere C Terence will be very safe on the flight D Spaceship One is just an ordinary plane 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据we just hope he does not burn up on reentry to Earth可知，飞船进入大气层降落时存在较大的危险。 none、六（共短文改错小题,10共分）20.0 第1题 Once there lived a scholar.
