　　Morocco is located at the northwest of Africa and is bordered in the north by the strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea.The Atlantic Ocean keeps the west and the north of the country more temperate (温和的)．The country also offers the broadest plains，some of which run along the Atlantic Ocean and the highest mountains in North Africa including the Atlas Mountains.

　　Starting with the symbol of Morocco，Marrakech is a beautiful city that has remained unspoiled by the volume of tourists that flock there each year.One of the finest monuments in Morocco is greatly benefited by this amount of tourism.Actually their high volume contributes in a positive way to preserving one of the greatest monuments of Morocco.

　　Fes is the third largest city in Morocco and is the capital of the Fes­Boulemane Region.It is separated into three parts，Fes el Bali more commonly known as the old walled city，now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site，Fes­J did and the Ville Nouvelle.Fes el Bali is believed to be the largest car­free urban area in the world.Fes is a splendid place to visit to heighten the senses with the colors，smells and sounds.

　　Casablanca is an enormous city which is near the capital of Morocco and a place where any European would feel at home.Casablanca was made famous by the movie and gives

　　Asilah is a city situated on the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most stunning (出色的)old cities of Morocco.The city is set along the cliffs which make it beautifully presented and an ideal place to continue adding to its economy by the fishermen.The economy is also reliant on the trading of cattle，sheep and cereal.If you are having a holiday in Morocco during August then you will be fortunate enough to experience one

　　More than 40 years ago，John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago.For food he traps wild animals，fishes in the rivers，and plants whatever he can.John lives in a cabin he made by hand，out of trees he chopped down with an ax.Though he has no relatives he knows of，he does have a deer he raised from a fawn.The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food.Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years.One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives.It was like going back in time.There were no roads，no stores，no noise，no pollution，not even a post office.

　　Most notable of all，there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world—without people.But there is a paradox in his story.John is an educated man.He has books and nobody knows how he got them.Mostly he reads about his world，the forest，the animals，the plants，and the mountains.He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them.For him，electricity is lightning，not light

　　bulbs，refrigerators，televisions，or

　　washing machines.John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health，happiness，and solitude，I will not tell you where his kingdom lies.There is no room there for you or me.

　　The Arctic is a polar region.It surrounds the North Pole.

　　Like Antarctica，the Arctic is a land of ice and snow.Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading 125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.Reading of 85 degrees below zero are common in both the Arctic and Antarctica.Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic.At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.

　　One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic.This one thing is the low temperature—the killing chill of the far North and the polar South.

　　To

　　survive，men must wear the warmest possible clothing.They must build windproof shelters.They must keep heaters going at all times.Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the below­zero temperatures.

　　Men have a way of providing for themselves.Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs.The cold makes life difficult，but the explorers can stay alive.

　　What about animals？Can they survive？Do we find plants？Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica？Yes，we do.There is life in the oceans.There is life on land.

　　Antarctica，as we have seen，is a cold place indeed.But this has not always been the case.Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent.At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own.

　　Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica.This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests.Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.

　　1．What does the underlined word“chill”probably mean?

　　A．coldness

　　B．coolness

　　C．damp

　　D．desert

　　答案：A　猜测词义题。根据前面的the low temperature可知这个画线词表示“寒冷”。

　　2．One of the reasons why there is no man living in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic is that________.A．there are no wildlife there

　　B．there are no minerals

　　C．they are extremely cold

　　D．they are hard to access

　　答案： C　细节理解题。根据第三段可知极度寒冷使人们不可能生活在南极和北极的部分地区。

　　3．According to the passage，which statement is TRUE?

　　A．The lowest temperature of the world is in the Arctic.

　　B．To survive in the Poles，the explorers wear the warmest possible clothing.

　　C．Antarctica has always been a cold place.

　　D．Coal has been found in the Arctic.

　　Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.

　　170 students’ task:　to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.

　　Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.

　　The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.

　　Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.

　　In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.

　　"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”

　　One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).
