  三、 阅读理解
  A
  Our surrounding(周围) is being polluted faster than nature and mans present efforts cant prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of manmade materials.
  What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are always ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from countryside to cities, eager for the benefit of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
  Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that were lost and dont know where were going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.

  D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

  When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didnt do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students Union than working in the library.   Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write “True” or “False”. While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.
  “Its very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. Ill take a coin into the examination room. I havent studied a chemistry book for months, so Ill just toss(抛) the coin. That way, Im sure Ill get half the questions right.”
  The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
  The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor (走廊).
  “Oh, good”, he said. “Have you got the result of the test? What mark did I get?”
  The professor looked at him and smiled.
  “Ah, its you, Baines. Just a minute.”
  Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.
  “Im terribly sorry, Baines,” he said, “you failed.”

  A. spent quite some time working in the Students Union
  B. worked hard at his lessons but he failed again and again
  C. often failed his tests
  D. wouldnt work hard so long as he could pass a test
  2. Fred looked perfectly calm before the chemistry test because .

  Visiting the Arctic
  ZHOU Mingfeng, 17, has only stepped out of his birthplace, Qingdao, once to visit the top of the world, the Arctic!
  The Senior 2 student from the High School Attached to Ocean University of China joined a twoweek journey to the Arctic at the beginning of this month, after he was recommended for the trip. Including his teacher, Wu Jianying, the adventure group consisted of 12 students and teachers from China, Spain, Canada, Britain and the US.
  “The trip brought the whole subject of geography and climate change to life,” Zhou said.
  Before they landed by air on Canadas research icebreaker (破冰船) in the Arctic, Amundsen, the group visited an Inuit (英纽特人的) community. Zhou also got the chance to experience dogsledding for the first time!
  He was surprised to find that Inuit people dont live in snow igloos (圆顶建筑) any longer. “They live in modern, warm wooden houses and travel mostly by snowmobile,” he said.
  During the time on board Amundsen, every day was science orientated (以……为主). Zhou and other teenagers were guided by scientists, who work there, to take part in laboratory and field work. Sometimes they went outside to collect ice and snow samples for experiments despite the windy, freezing climate.
  As the only Chinese student, Zhou didnt feel very confident due to his English inefficiency.
  “Those students soon got close to the onboard scientists and became involved (参与) in their research,” he recalled in admiration.
  However, it didnt prevent Zhou from enjoying the unique and remote life there.
  When the wind died and the sun shone on the frozen desert, Zhou and his new friends recorded their days with photo shoots out on the ice beside the Amundsen!
  “The views were breathtaking! Everything around us seemed lifeless, which is shocking,” he said.
  But there proved to be something alive, under the ice caps. A seal popped out of the water below the ship and greeted them on the last day of their stay.
  “It was the only animal I saw in the Arctic!” he said. “But its a pity that I didnt see a single polar bear in the ‘capital of the creature.
  1. According to the passage, the students and teachers visiting Artic are most likely to .
  A. go sightseeingB. take part in some science research
  C. learn EnglishD. learn about Inuit community
  2. In the passage, Amundsen is .
  A. an icebreakerB. an Inuit iglooC. a place in ArticD. a dogdrawn sled   3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
  A. Zhou was surprised to find the Inuit lived in modern, warm wooden houses.
  B. Zhou visited an Inuit community first.
  C. Zhous inefficient English made him unable to enjoy the life in Artic.
  D. Zhou took many photos with his new friends.
  4. The underlined sentence “The trip brought the whole subject of geography and climate change to life,” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
  A. The trip made what had been learned in geography lessons more vivid or interesting.
  B. The trip suddenly started working.
  C. The trip completely changed his life.
  D. The trip made animals in Artic live.

The legal profession had the worst result, 3 almost 16 percent reporting symptoms of clinical depression (临床抑郁症). Next 4 (be) accountants and insurance underwriters, both on 10 percent. People in IT services, architecture and engineering also had depression rates above the average.
  The survey 5 (conduct) by Beyondblue, an organization devoted to fighting depression, also showed that 6 under 30 who had the 7 (high) rates of depression were the most likely to “selfmedicate” with drugs and alcohol. Beyondblue deputy chief executive and 8 (psychology), Dr. Nicole Highet, said the survey was first to reveal the extent of the problem. “We often associate depression with the most socially disadvantaged and people under financial pressure, 9 heres a whole different group.” Dr. Highet said, She said while it was difficult to know exactly 10 made some groups more prone to depression, it was likely to be driven by work pressures.
