【题目】In America it is common for children as young as four to participate in organized activities. Piano and ballet lessons, scouts meetings, soccer and softball practices surround their normal school schedules. However, one person is very important in the logistics of how these children are able to get from swimming practice to French lessons: The Soccer Mom. The Soccer Mom is a very important stereotype in American suburban life. The phrase Soccer Mom was first created in 1995 and broadly refers to a married middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs, works outside the home and has school age children. Much of her time is spent managing her children's schedules and transporting them to sporting events and other activities. The image of the Soccer Mom conjures a busy woman who drives a minivan large enough to contain her children, their friends and their sporting equipment. Once they arrive at the sporting event or other activity, the Soccer Mom will stay to watch, serving granola bars and juice to their children after their game or activity is finished.

In America, the roles of mother and of career woman demand opposite responsibilities from a woman. The role of a career woman is to work hard and climb the corporate ladder, while the role of mother often asks women to put her family's interests ahead of her own. The Soccer Mom attempts to straddle this divide, at once balancing her children and their activities with her own life outside her family. The Soccer Mom becomes overburdened with the weight of responsibilities. A 1999 poll states that being stressed out is one of the most frequently mentioned characteristics of a Soccer Mona. Yet without Soccer Moms, who would fill the responsibilities of getting children to where they needed to be?

【题目】The Chinese Antarctica(南极洲)expedition(探险队)returned to Shanghai on March 20 following a month living on the ice. It was the first time Chinese scientists had visited the Amery Ice Shelf—the longest ice shelf in the world.

The team collected ice samples and data on temperatures, which are necessary for research on global warming.

So far, about 27 countries have visited Antarctica for scientific research. Although the living conditions are very hard, many scientists have to stay there for long periods of time. So, how do they manage their lives on the ice?

Well, during the summer, the temperature in Antarctica reaches about-20℃. It falls to about-60℃ in winter. So, even if there are 24 hours of sunshine, scientists must keep wearing all the correct clothes to protect them from the cold. These clothes include jeans, running shoes, jackets, long underwears, boots and woolen socks.

Although highly technical clothing provides much protection against the extreme cold, scientists often need to go outside when there is an icy wind blowing and the temperature is-30℃. Natural protection such as facial hair can also help.

“That’s why many researchers wear a beard. It really does keep you warm，”says German explorer Arved Fuchs.

Usually, the polar researchers have good meals. Some even have feasts(盛宴)on holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Day. Vegetables are always welcome and usually finished the quickest.

Life on the ice means living with other researchers in tight living space. Most people sleep in dorm(宿舍)style rooms. More remote field camps use separate tents. So, at least some researchers don’t have to put up with annoying snorers(打鼾者)．

But what do they do for fun in their spare time? There are actually a lot of things they can do. They watch movies, read tons of books, listen to music, have saunas(桑拿浴)，paint and ski. Some female researchers might even do some knitting.

It is important for a polar researcher to be in good physical condition. They can be required to climb to heights of more than 3, 000 meters. And the Antarctic atmosphere has less oxygen than that of any other continent.

【1】 In which month of this year did the Chinese Antarctica expedition mentioned in the passage reach the Amery Ice Shelf?

A. February.

B. March.

C. January.

D. December.

【2】 Why do some polar researchers wear beards? Because _______.

A．they have no time to shave(刮脸)their beards

B．beards are helpful to keep warm

C．beards will come out soon when they are shaved

D．they think beards will make them look handsome

【3】The underlined phrase “put up with” probably means _______.

A．hear

B．turn down

C．let out

D．suffer from

【4】Which of the following do you think is the most important one to a polar researcher?

A．Clothes.

B．Meals.

C．Tents.

D．Health.

【5】 The best title of the passage is _______.

A. The Antarctica

B. The Chinese Antarctica Expedition Explored the Antarctica

水龙吟 登建康赏心亭

辛弃疾

楚天千里清秋，水随天去秋无际。遥岑远目，献愁供恨，玉簪螺髻。落日楼头，断鸿声里，江南游子。把吴钩看了，栏杆拍遍，无人会，登临意。休说鲈鱼堪脍，尽西风，季鹰归未？求田问舍，怕应羞见，刘郎才气。可惜流年，忧愁风雨，树犹如此！倩何人唤取，红巾翠袖，揾英雄泪？

【1】对《水龙吟 登建康赏心亭》词句解说有误的一项是

A．“楚天”的“楚”，泛指长江中下游一带，这里在战国时曾属楚国。

B．“千里清秋”和“秋无际”，显出阔达的气势，同时写出江南秋季的特点。

C．“落日”本是日日皆见之景，辛弃疾用“落日”二字，比喻南宋国势衰颓。

D．“断鸿”是失群的孤雁，比喻苟安于江南一隅不思收复失地的南宋朝廷。

【2】对这首词思想内容和表现手法分析不正确的一项是

A．上片由景及情，登楼远眺，山河美好却沦陷于敌人之手，词人深感苦闷和悲愤。

B．下片直抒胸臆，抨击那些对国事漠不关心的人，并表达自己忧国忧民的情怀。

C．从全词内容来看，作者有愁有恨有忧有泪，心情低沉抑郁未免过于悲观失望。

D．从全词写法来看，既写景又抒情，淋漓尽致地抒发了报国无路、壮志难酬的悲愤。

永遇乐·京口北固亭怀古

千古江山，英雄无觅孙仲谋处。舞榭歌台，风流总被雨打风吹去。斜阳草树，寻常巷陌，人道寄奴曾住。想当年，金戈铁马，气吞万里如虎。

元嘉草草，封狼居胥，赢得仓皇北顾。四十三年，望中犹记，烽火扬州路。可堪回首，佛狸祠下，一片神鸦社鼓。凭谁问：廉颇老矣，尚能饭否?

【1】作者登临怀古，为何在众多的英雄人物中只提孙权和刘裕二人呢?
