After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What exotic tourist destination awaits you?Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wildness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced. And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments - nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.5．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The Antarctica has become the best place for people to travelB.only scientists can be allowed to go to AntarcticaC.Antarctica is less affected by human activitiesD.no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins6.Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicatesthat________.ernments should take measures to stop tourists from going to AntarcticaB.whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefullyC.the animals- habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourismD.only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica7.What does the underlined word“disinfect” in the sixth paragaph prabably mean?A.Clean.B.Move.C.Remove.D.Change.CMost heroes are not super. They don't appear in comic books, on television，or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index,a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him—supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “RobinHood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman”seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.8. Bike Batman is .A. a superhero.B. a website manager.C. a Seattle citizen.D. a police officer.9. What Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, be willfirst .A.contact the owner of the stolen bike.B. look up the bike’s information on Bike Index.C. lall the police department.D. arrange to meet the thief.10.Bike Batman help find the lost bikes to .A. become famous.B. help poor people.C. punish bike thieves.D. build a friendly city.11. From the passage, we learn that .A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested.B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident.C. the police failed to perform their duties.D. the thieves refused to return the bikes.DScientists have discovered why the Mona Lisa's expression looks so different different people different times.For centuries,art lovers criticshave been confused by and debated the Leonardo Da Vinci painting's gaze slight smile.But new research from the University of California,San Francisco has shed__new__light on the shining and seemingly changing face of the Mona Lisa.Through experiments, they discovered that our emotions really do change how we see a neutral(不带感情色彩的)face.Dr Erika Siegel and her colleagues study how our emotions change our perceptions( 感知) of the world around us —even when we aren't aware that something has changed our feelings.This relies on the modern theory of “the brain as in a predictive organ, instead of a reactive one，”says Dr Siegel.In other words, “we have a lifetime of experience and we use those experiences predict what we going to experiencenext.We all have one dominant(占支配地位的）eye and one more passive non －dominant one. If each eye is receiving different information, we only consciously perceive what dominant one sees. But non－dominantsights can still enter our subconscious.They showed 43 people two sets flashing images simultanenously,so that the dominant eye saw registered neutral expressions, while non－dominant eye “saw”flashes of neutral,or smiling faces, which would only subconsciously After be aware of.After viewing flashing faces, the researchers showed be participants options of faces and asked them to pick out which ones hadseen.When their non－dominant eyes had seen happy face,they were more likely to think the neutral face had actually been smiling, and the same was true for other expression.This means that “if you see Mona Lisa after you have just had a screaming fight with your husband, you're going to see the painting differently.”says Dr Siegel.“But if you're having the time of your life at the Louvre,you're going to see the mysterious smile，” she adds.“We are the architects of our own experience. Our brain makes predictions about what it expects to see and uses information from the world to updateits expectations，” Dr Siegel says.12. What is the purpose of Dr Siegel5 s research?A.To discover why people perceive the same thing differently.B. To help appreciate the Mena Lisa.C. To win a dehate.D.

To pick out their dominant and non-dominant eyes.C.To lengthen the effect of the non-dominant eyes.D. To provide images of more expressions.15. Which of the following can be the beat title for the text?A. Effects of EmotionsB.Swing h MiringC. A Mysisterious RescarehD.Is Mdna Lisa Smiling?第二节（共5小题；毎小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选項中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
