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.
Driving on the ice roads isn’t a(n) 6 that every truck driver can do,though. Most drivers who try this sort of work 7 at the first sound of the ice cracking under the great 8 of their trucks. Others make it across the frozen ice to their destination but decide the 9 for them isn't worth the money,10 even the slightest mistake or fault in the road could cost a driver his / her life.
The trucks all travel in groups at a slow and 11 pace,and keep the same distance from each other to reduce the chance of a(n) 12,but if a truck has to 13 for any length of time a major disaster could occur. The 14 is not able to bear the pressure of a constant weight in one spot,and if a truck breaks down,it is a race against 15 to get it moving again.

A篇(旅游與交通)
本文是說明文。文章介紹了加拿大“冰路”卡車司機工作的危險性。
1. B.根據(jù)下文的the mines there及 an important piece of machinery 可推測，卡車司機運送的東西多是跟 礦井生產(chǎn)有關(guān)的“原材料 (materials) ”。
2. D.根據(jù)下文的 the next delivery 可
知，這里是假設(shè)一個重要的機器沒 能被“運送(delivered) ”，需要下次 運送的情況。
3. C.
4. A.
5. D.根據(jù)本段末的as the ice thickness begins to thin in places可知，冰雪會融化，所以冰路 只能“用(usable) ”三到四個月。過 了這幾個月，由于冰層變薄，冰路 就會變—很“危險(dangerous) ”也 就是說，錯過了這三到四個月的運 輸期，下次運輸就得“等(wait) ”八 個月。
6. A.在冰路上開卡車是項“工作 (job) ”。
7. C.根據(jù)本空后的at the first sound of the ice cracking不難想象，聽到冰裂的聲音，大部分人會害怕，所 以會“掉頭(turn around) ”回去。
8. B.根據(jù)常識可知，車的“重量 .(weight) ”會讓冰層裂開。
9. D.
10. A.根據(jù)本句中的even the slightest mistake or fault in the road could cost a driver his / her life 可 知，“因為(because) ”即使是最小的 錯誤都可能要人命，所以有些人即 使安全開到了目的地也會覺得掙 的錢不值他們承受那么大的“壓力 （stress) ”
11. B.
12. C。
13. D.根據(jù)本段中的 not able to bear the pressure of a constant weight in one spot 可知， 車不能“停(stop) ”，因為一停下 來，車的重量就會集中在一點，災(zāi) 難可能就會發(fā)生。因此，車隊需要 讓冰路受.力均勻，以慢且“穩(wěn) (steady) ”的速度前進，異保持車與 車之間的距離一樣，這樣才能減少 “事故(accident) ”友生的幾奉。
14. A.
15. C.本文是在談?wù)撛诒?上駕駛卡車的危險性，因此這里是 指“冰(ice) ”不能在某一點持續(xù)承 受壓力，所以如果有車拋錨的話， 司機需要跟“時間(time) ”賽跑，讓 車及時重新行駛，否則就可能讓冰 裂開。
16. B.
17. A.根據(jù)本句中的break through the ice 奇 車從冰上 掉進水里的話會“沉沒(sink) ”，司 機在被淹“死(dies) ”之前只有不 到一分鐘的時間從冰水里逃生。
18. D.根據(jù)本空后的her husband可 知，Dianne Rowland是名冰路卡單 司機的“妻子(wife) ”。
19. C.
20. B.Dianne Rowland 在看 了關(guān)于冰路司機的系列片“后 (after) ”意識到這項工作的危險 性，所以她不讓丈夫再去從事這項 工作，而她的三個女兒也“同意 (agreed with) ”母親的看法。

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(靈長類 動物學(xué)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(猴面包樹) 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 (糞便) , 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.
