The Science of the Antarctic: An Exploration by Air and Sea
2023, 7 days
Join New Scientist for an interesting trip exploring the world s largest ocean preserve and most original sea ecosystem.
Day 1: Arrive into Punta Arenas (Chile)
Arrive into Punta Arenas, where you will be met and transported to the group hotel. Punta Arenas lies at the foot of the Andes with noticeable views across the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego. It is Patagonia s liveliest and most interesting city. Everything in the town is within walking distance.
Days 2—3: Observe Elephant Island
While sailing around the White Continent, huge icebergs announce your arrival in Antarctic waters. Observe Elephant Island, where the shipwrecked（遭遇海难的）worker of Shackleton found shelter while he and five finest men carried on towards South Georgia in a tiny lifeboat. The guides will explain the story. Stormy conditions hardly allow for ashore landing, but you will still see the historic island from the ship.
Days 4—6: Explore South Georgia
Tour the protected waters of South Georgia. The wildlife on South Georgia is rich, especially the birdlife. Visits to a rookery containing 150,000 king penguins or the nesting home of thousands of black-browed albatrosses are remarkable wildlife experiences. If the weather is favourable, visits to Fortuna Bay, Salisbury Plains, Prion Island, and Elsehul Bay are also planned.
Day 7: Depart Santiago

For Canaan Elementary s second grade in Patchogue, N. Y., today is speech day, and right now it s Chris Palaez s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he s nervous. “I m here to tell you today why you should... should...” Chris trips on the “-ld”, a pronunciation difficult for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley is next to him, whispering support. “Vote for... me...” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don t know, but I want to know. ”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
24.What made Chris nervous
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
25.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners.
C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
26.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley s project is to ________.
A. help students see their own strengths
B. assess students public speaking skills
C. prepare students for their future jobs
D. inspire students love for politics
27.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Demanding.
C
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports, emissions（排放）from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO2 beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become a part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 2020 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution. Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.
28.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________.
A. the social movement B. recycling techniques
C. environmental problems D. the importance of the Earth Day
29.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A. The grass roots level. B. The business circle.
C. Government officials. D. University professors.
30.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO2 levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
31.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A. Education. B. Planning. C. Green living. D. CO2 reduction.
D
We ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smart phones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What s the problem It s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it s awkward and challenging, or we think it s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can t forget that deep relationships wouldn t even exist if it weren t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease（润滑剂）for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction（互动）with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral（边缘的）members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
32.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smart phones.
B. Inappropriate behaviors in public places.
C. Absence of communication between strangers.
D. Impatience with slow service.
33.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.
C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals.
34.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It improves family relationships.
B. It raises people s confidence.
C. It matters as much as a formal talk.
D. It makes people feel good.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small Talk
C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Uncomfortable Silence
第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
·Practise your speech before the big day. （36） If possible, practise the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
·Remember why you've been invited to speak. If you're battling fear of speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organisers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. （37）
·Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. （38） Most people would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
· （39） What you say should be tailored to why you're there and who you're speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
·Keep eye contact with the crowd. （40） Pick one person in each section and look at him while you're speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another section. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn't as frightening.
A. A good memory is really helpful.
B. Show appreciation to your audience.
C. Mention your audience in your speech.
D. The more you have it memorised, the better.
E. In fact, it's normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F. Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.
G. The knowledge of other people's respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

When Edith heard there was a competition to invent a brand-new machine, she longed to enter. Her idol(偶像), the famous inventor Mathew, was going to be the judge! Edith planned and worked on her invention every day after school. Finally, a huge light-up music box was finished—just in time for the competition. She was sure it would win first prize. Everyone would certainly be amazed when the lights shone and the music began to play.
However, when Edith slowly turned the handle(手柄), nothing happened. The machine needed more power.
Edith turned the handle faster, but no matter how quickly she went, she couldn t get more than a flash from the lights. There was no way this would win and she had run out of time to fix it.
On the competition night, Edith went to the town hall with a heavy heart. She set up her music machine, feeling like a failure.
Mathew burst through the doors on his bike, whose pedals(脚踏板) gave off light. Everyone cheered excitedly. He got off the bike and walked around the rooms to see the inventions on show. Edith was nervous as he came over. "Can you tell me about your machine " he asked. "It is a music machine that lights up." Edith said in a low voice. Mathew clapped happily. "Amazing! Show me how it works."
Edith turned the handle faster than she d ever managed before. Terrible slow music started and the lights flashed on and off. Someone nearby laughed. Edith s cheeks turned red. "Don t worry." Mathew smiled, "All my inventions went wrong when I was younger. You mustn t give up." Hiding behind the machine, Edith couldn t wait for the competition to end.
The judging had almost finished when suddenly the lights of the hall went out. No one could get the lights to work and the competition couldn t carry on. Edith thought for a moment. If only she were stronger, she could have turned the handle of her machine faster and lit up the room. In the dark, Edith could just see Mathew climbing onto his bike, with his pedals glimmering (发出微光).

Para 1
"Don t go!" Edith shouted, "I know how to light up the room!" Edith said, "The machine needs a lot of power to turn the handle. The faster people turn the handle, the brighter the light is. However, I m not strong enough to turn the handle. I think you and your bike can be helpful." Hearing the method that Edith offered, Mathew agreed and helped her link his bike with the music box. As Mathew rode the bike, the music box gradually lit up the room.
Para 2
Everyone jumped with joy as light and music from the machine filled the room. Everyone was grateful that Edith had let the competition carry on. It was time for judgment. When Mathew announced that the first place was Edith, Edith jumped with joy. Mathew said success belongs to those who never give up and have ideas.
