They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can befrozen to death in a few minutes.61. This passage is probably from ___________.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazine62.

The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it．Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It’s just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don’t seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths（波长）of light that are reflected（反射）from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water．Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example.These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!61．You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ．A．your eyesight is quite poor B．you are not quick enoughC．it is not as close as it seems D．it disappears very quickly62．The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater．A．the size B．the color C．the position D．the weight63．The underlined word"descend" probably means in Chinese in this passage．A．上升B．漂浮C．屏息D．下潜64．Which of the fo1lowing is true？A．A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater．B．The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light．C．Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water．D．You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6to 9meters into the sea．65．The best title of this passage is ．A．The Standard of Color Underwater B．The Direction of Light UnderwaterC．The Brightness of Color Underwater D．The Behavior of Light Underwater2019年B篇In our daily life, robots are often found to do work that is too dangerous, boring, difficult, or dirty.

Now, there are fewer than four hundred.Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源), dried up.
