       Antarctica is the southernmost place on Earth, and it is larger than the United Sates and 95% of it is covered with ice. The ice is 5 kilometers thick at places and it never melts. At least that is what we thought, but let us keep it that way for now.

       The ice seems to be alive as it works its way towards the seA． It forms an ice shelf over the water. The edge breaks away from the shelf and falls into the seA． From here it drifts. Now big pieces of ice become icebergs that can be 160 km long. They now drift north until they finally melt and become part of the ocean. This process is part of a bigger process which in turn forms a cooling system for Earth. This is so important that no country is allowed to control this areA． The treaty (agreement) signed by 12 countries at first and later joined by more, was to prevent any country harming the planet with irresponsible behavior.

       The treaty basically states that:

       Antarctica can be used for peaceful purposes only.

       No country may build a military base there.

       No country may do a nuclear test there.

       No country may dump nuclear waste there.

       Scientists working there will share their information.

       Some other rules are there to protect the penguins and seals.

       No dogs may run loose.

       No planes may land near large groups of animals.

       No guns, explosives, or tractors may be used near the animals.

       Most important is that every member can inspect any of the other bases if he suspects that the treaty rules are being broken.

       While the treaty is not foolproof（万无一失的）, it does play a very important part in the protection of AntarcticA． The more people realize the effects that pollution has on this continent, the bigger the pressure will be on Governments to change the way they look at pollution.

69．Why was it important to sign a treaty for Antarctica?

       A．Because the ice on Antarctica will finally melt into the ocean.

       B．Because Antarctica is covered with 5 kilometers thick ice.

       C．Because Antarctica balances the temperature of Earth.

       D．Because there are many big icebergs in AntarcticA．

70．What is the process of the movement of ice in Antarctica?

       A．Ice shelf---sea water---iceberg---ice.

       B．Sea water---ice---iceberg---ice shelf.

       C．Iceberg---ice shelf---ice---sea water.

       D．Ice---ice shelf---iceberg---sea water.

71．What is included in the Antarctica treaty?

       A．There is no secret research information in AntarcticA．

       B．Dogs are not allowed to be raised in AntarcticA．

       C．Waste can’t be thrown away in AntarcticA．

       D．People can’t bring their guns to AntarcticA．

It is bad ______ to talk with your finger ______ at the other person.

       A．manners; to point           B．manner, to point     

       C． manners, pointing  D．manner, points

Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. Other experts, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

    The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

    Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system, which seems to hold water.

    When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the car will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements. The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.

48. What is the main concern of the author of the passage?

A. How to make cars pollution-free.            B. How to make cars smaller and safer.

C. How to solve the problem of train jam.   D. How to develop an automated subway system.

49. We can infer from this passage that __________.

A. the car connected to the rail on the highway will be powered by electricity.

B. The lack of oil is forcing people to find new means to power automobiles.

C. The driver under the system will be told where to get out of the highway.

D. The future car will become larger, faster, prettier and less expensive.

50. What provides cars with electric power in an automated highway system?

A. An engine.         B.A rail.    C. A computer controller.            D. A small arm.

51. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The driver puts his information in the system by email.

B. The new system can deal with 10 times as many cars as the present one.

C. After entering the automated system, the driver needs to do nothing but relax.

D. Some experts are not confident of the future, while the view of the author is hopeful.
