　　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”。

　　B．there are no minerals

　　C．they are extremely cold

　　D．they are hard to access

　　【阅读理解】科普知识类

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命) often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS) . ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off tomimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.

　　While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some“web surfing (冲浪) ” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.

　　Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.

　　2. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?

　　A. They are caring and thoughtful.

　　B. They are worried and upset.

　　C. They are impatient and annoyed.

　　D. They are excited and curious.

　　A. get more pleasure in space than on the Earth

　　B. find living in space a bit boring and tiring

　　C. regard space life as common

　　D. love to see the Earth from space
