True or False（判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示): (7分)This week, our topic is pollution. Whats the answer to all our pollution problems? We asked two experts to give their views.Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group.Our future on Earth looks very bad. We are dumping waste on our land. We cant breathe the air. The sea is polluted too.I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are happy and healthy. We must close the factories producing useless products. That would reduce rubbish and air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all cars, and improve public transport.A big problem is overpopulation in big cities. We must give up big cities and factories, and get back to a simple way of life.John Green is a scientist at a university.Things are not as bad as Forest says. Well have a bright future. We dont need to give up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner engines.This wont stop the problem of traffic jams. So we need better public transport. We should also recycle more. But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, “Our old neighbourhood doesnt look the same as beforeit is cleaner and greener now.”Science has brought many improvements. A hundred years ago, most people died in their 40s. We cant go back to a life like that.71. Three experts were asked to give their views on the pollution problems this week.72. The word “views” here probably means peoples ideas or opinions.73. Both Forest Smith and John Green think theyll have a bright future on the pollution problems.74. Forest Smiths view on cars and public transport is the same as John Greens.75. Forest Smith visited some relatives and found they lived a rich, happy and healthy life.76. John Greens sister said their old neighbourhood looked cleaner and greener than before.77. The passage mainly tells us something about different kinds of pollution on the earth.B.(7分) Every summer, scientists from around the world go south to study Antarctic. Antarctic is at the South Pole. It is the worlds coldest continent. In summer, the sun shines all the time in Antarctica. For nearly six months, there is no night. The air in summer is cold, but not as cold as it could be. The temperature hardly ever goes lower than 30F below zero. In winter, temperatures of 100F below zero are common. There is no sunshine in winter. It is dark for 24 hours a day. Only a few scientists work on Antarctic in winter. But in summer, hundreds fly in from many countries. The scientists study the animal life and changes in the weather. They make their homes in a place where few people have ever been. Up until the middle of the 18th century Antarctic was a completely mystery (神秘的事). In 1840, Frenchman Dumont dUrcille became the first person to set foot on Antarctic. After that, news of this icy land spread quickly. In 1898, a British-funded expedition (探险) headed by Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink was the first to set up a base in Antarctic.From 1908 to 1912, several groups of explorers landed in Antarctic. One group was led by Ernest Shakleton from England. Shakleton had put an advertisement for explorers in a newspaper. The ad said: “Men wanted for dangerous journey. Low pay, bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful (难以预料的).” Quite a few people answered this ad. In 1929, Richard E. Byrd, an American explorer, was the first to fly over the South Pole. The first scientist started coming to Antarctic much later, in 1956. Groups of scientists have been flying in ever since. At the end of last century, twenty-four countries signed an agreement that the exploration of Antarctic for oil or mineral deposits (矿藏) was not allowed for 50 years.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 14分)Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses down below Annas house were washed away. Annas house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with no roofs and walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right. That year Annas was very lucky.Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms, her husband was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Anna took in one of the families that had lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to rebuild their house.Annas friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.”“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, We wont have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now Ill go and get it. She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. Here is our gift, she said to her children.”“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister, I was just that Christmas gift.”99. Where did Anna live? 100. Was her house washed away in the big flood? 101.
