   The ice roads of Canada's far north are only made of ice that spreads for many miles across nothing but open,frozen lakes. The 1 that truckers bring to these barely-accessible areas are always extremely important to the mines there. If an important piece of machinery does not get 2 , the company will have to 3 eight months for the next delivery to be sent,because the ice roads are only 4 for 3-4 months of the year. After that,they become 5 as the ice thickness feegins to thin in places.

A篇(旅游与交通)

本文是说明文。文章介绍了加拿大“冰路”卡车司机工作的危险性。

1. B.根据下文的the mines there及 an important piece of machinery 可推测，卡车司机运送的东西多是跟 矿井生产有关的“原材料 (materials) ”。

2. D.根据下文的 the next delivery 可

知，这里是假设一个重要的机器没 能被“运送(delivered) ”，需要下次 运送的情况。

3. C. 

4. A. 

5. D.根据本段末的as the ice thickness begins to thin in places可知，冰雪会融化，所以冰路 只能“用(usable) ”三到四个月。过 了这几个月，由于冰层变薄，冰路 就会变—很“危险(dangerous) ”也 就是说，错过了这三到四个月的运 输期，下次运输就得“等(wait) ”八 个月。

6. A.在冰路上开卡车是项“工作 (job) ”。

7. C.根据本空后的at the first sound of the ice cracking不难想象，听到冰裂的声音，大部分人会害怕，所 以会“掉头(turn around) ”回去。

8. B.根据常识可知，车的“重量 .(weight) ”会让冰层裂开。

9. D. 

10. A.根据本句中的even the slightest mistake or fault in the road could cost a driver his / her life 可 知，“因为(because) ”即使是最小的 错误都可能要人命，所以有些人即 使安全开到了目的地也会觉得挣 的钱不值他们承受那么大的“压力 （stress) ”

11. B.

12. C。 

13. D.根据本段中的 not able to bear the pressure of a constant weight in one spot 可知， 车不能“停(stop) ”，因为一停下 来，车的重量就会集中在一点，灾 难可能就会发生。因此，车队需要 让冰路受.力均匀，以慢且“稳 (steady) ”的速度前进，异保持车与 车之间的距离一样，这样才能减少 “事故(accident) ”友生的几奉。

14. A. 

15. C.本文是在谈论在冰路 上驾驶卡车的危险性，因此这里是 指“冰(ice) ”不能在某一点持续承 受压力，所以如果有车抛锚的话， 司机需要跟“时间(time) ”赛跑，让 车及时重新行驶，否则就可能让冰 裂开。

16. B. 

17. A.根据本句中的break through the ice 奇 车从冰上 掉进水里的话会“沉没(sink) ”，司 机在被淹“死(dies) ”之前只有不 到一分钟的时间从冰水里逃生。

18. D.根据本空后的her husband可 知，Dianne Rowland是名冰路卡单 司机的“妻子(wife) ”。

19. C. 

20. B.Dianne Rowland 在看 了关于冰路司机的系列片“后 (after) ”意识到这项工作的危险 性，所以她不让丈夫再去从事这项 工作，而她的三个女儿也“同意 (agreed with) ”母亲的看法。

5. As soon as he started smoking,she asked him not so.

6. 1 never thought I would see her again,but yesterday I would.

   When I watched wild baboons(狒狒) in Africa,it seemed as if they ate everything. But did they really? They have simple stomachs. If baboons eat foods that have a lot of fiber, they get very little nutrition from that food,and then they don't have room for more nutritious foods. Baboons need foods with a lot of nutrients. Baboons should be picky eaters.

   In the 1990s,a team of primatologists(灵长类 动物学家) solved this riddle. By watching wild baboons,the team of primatologists found that the monkeys ate whatever they could find as long as the foods had a lot of protein and fat. Baboons avoided foods with lots of fiber. Many foods had high protein or high fat,and many foods had low fiber. So it looked as if baboons ate everything.

   Research on baboon foods made me wonder how baboons found their foods. I knew baboons were smart. For their size,they have big brains,and they remember a lot of things. Even though some baboon troops have more than 100 monkeys,baboons easily remember their friends and enemies. I reasoned that baboons might memorize the locations of some foods.

   For 18 months I lived in a tent in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. I camped next to the river. I studied only m往le baboons because females have babies,and I didn't want to scare the little ones. Each morning,I picked a different male monkey. Everywhere he went,I followed. Every time he ate,I wrote down the food type and how much he ate.

   I discovered that baboons did not find baobab trees(猴面包树) randomly. Instead,the monkeys walked quickly and directly to baobab trees. The same was not true for other foods. Baboons used more random patterns to find elephant dung (粪便) , young antelopes,and grasses. Sometimes they found these foods on their way to the baobab trees!

6. What does the underlined part “this riddle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

   A. Where wild baboons live.

   B. How wild baboons find foods.

   C. If wild baboons eat everything.

   D. If wild baboons have simple stomachs.

7. Wild baboons enjoy foods with .

   A. lots of protein and fiber

    B. lots of protein and fat

   C. lots of fat and fiber

   D. lots of fiber only

8. What do we know about wild baboons?

   A. They have few friends.

   B. They are not very smart.

   C. They have many enemies.

   D. They have a good memory.

9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

   A. How the author studied wild baboons.

   B. The living environment of wild baboons.

   C. How female wild baboons give birth to babies.

   D. Differences between male and female wild baboons.

10. It can be inferred that wild baboons know the locations of.

   A. grasses   B. baobab trees

   C. elephant dung   D. young antelopes

            Four habits of highly emotionally intelligent people 

   It has increasingly become accepted that emotional intelligence (EI) is an important factor in our success and happiness,not only at work,but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. 1 Here are four habits that people with high El have:

   1. They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news,emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 2 These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.

   2. They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of El don't spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 3 You can spot these folks as they tend to smile and laugh a great deal and attract other positive people. Their warmth,openness,and caring attitude let others look upon them as more trustworthy.

   3. They look for ways to make life more fun,happy,and interesting. Whether it is in their workplace,at home,or with friends,high El people know what makes them happy and look for opportunities to expand their enjoyment. 4 Therefore,they do whatever they can to brighten someone else's day.

   4. 5 People with high El are so busy thinking of possibilities in the future that they don't spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn't work out in the past. They take the learning from their past failures and apply it to their actions in the future.

   A. They are willing to let go of the past.

   B. They know how they can use their energy wisely.

   C. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart?

   D. They receive pleasure and satisfaction from seeing others happy.

   E. So they always spend time with people that look at the bright side of life.

   F. Instead,they use the incident to create awareness of how to not let it happen again.

   G. Rather,they look at what is positive in a situation and look for solutions to a problem.

   When I was a boy we had a small 13 inch color television set in our living room. It had a button to 1the channels on it. However,we 2 changed channels.
