Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never
31、done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period. The women set off as soon as they were ready. Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge (雪橇) weighing over
32、50 kilos. This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface, but for long distances, the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didnt become damaged. The temperature was always be
33、low the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night. In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometre
34、s a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift (漂流) back more than five kilometres during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one da
35、y, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal. So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were pa
36、rt of a team. If any one of them didnt pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition (探险). Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their j
37、ourney, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.51. What was so extraordinary about the expedition? A. There was no one to lead it. B. The women did not have any men with them. C. It was a new experience for most of the women. D. The
38、women had not met one another before.52. On the expedition, the women had to be careful to avoid _. A. falling over on the ice B. being left behind C. damaging the sledges D. getting too cold at night53. It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because _. A. they got too tired B.
39、the ice was moving C. they kept getting lost D. the temperatures were too low54. What is the main message of the text? A. Motivation and teamwork achieve goals. B. Women can do anything they want. C. It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions. D. Arctic conditions are very severe.55. Wh

41、ect. Here are some frequent questions and advice on how to answer them properly. What exactly do you want from us? Describe your ideal job. Many people avoid these types of questions by giving a safe, general answer. To make a better impression, prepare by writing an “employment ad” that describes y
42、our dream job. Include a headline and several adjectives describing the company, the job and yourself. This forces you to focus on exactly what you want and what you have to offer. Why did you leave your last job? You may have hated your boss but few employers will want to hear that. Many interviewe
43、rs suggest that people concentrate on the business reasons for joining a new company. For example: “After two years in the marketing department, Ive learnt a lot about X. Now I want to learn about Y.” If you were fired because of a disagreement with your boss, however, you may be better off telling
44、the interviewers yourself, rather than letting them find out. Why are you changing careers? In this question, interviewers are looking for careful self-analysis. “Dont say I wanted to try something new,” advises Howard Nitschke, an American recruiter. “That makes me think, This person doesnt know wh
45、ere hes going. Instead, explain how your skills, personality and goals are more suited to this new career.”What are your weaknesses? Many candidates try to concentrate on vague faults that could also be seen as virtues. They say “Im impatient”, hoping the interviewer will see them as quick-thinking
46、and dynamic. Dont try this. Interviewers are sick of hearing these answers. Instead, be honest about faults but emphasize what youve done to deal with them.Where do you want to be five years from now? The best way to make a mess of this question is not to have an answer. But you can also alarm the i
47、nterviewer by giving the impression that the job is just a brief step in your career. An organization may fear that you would spend more time looking for promotion than working. A good answer would be, “Eventually Id like to be a managing director, but I realize Ive got many things to learn in the n
48、ext few years.” Complete the following sentences and answer the question according to the text.56. This text includes some frequent questions and advice about how to answer them properly in _.57. An “employment ad” should contain a description of _.58. Many interviewers are more interested in your b
49、usiness reasons for joining a new company rather than _.59. When interviewers ask about your reasons for changing careers, they concentrate on your _.60. How would you answer the question, “What are your weaknesses?”C Below is a chart containing some of the Kuringai Chase National Park Nature Activi
50、ties. Fill in the blanks using information from the text above. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each blank.DA British Airways jet flying from America to Britain was diverted (转向) at a cost of more than 12,000 to save the life of a dog sweltering in temperatures of up to 55 in the cargo hold (货舱).
51、 The dog named Louise was on its way from Houston to Gatwick to join Irene Saunders, 73, a Texan who had decided to make her home in Britain. She bought Louise for $300 and had prepared a custom-built kennel so the dog could stay happily in the hold. The captain, Rex Graveley, had tried unsuccessful
52、ly to control the soaring temperatures in the hold for two hours. “We started off with the temperature at around 55,” he said. “We assumed that it would drop as we flew higher, but it didnt. Obviously the valve (气阀) which controls the temperature in the hold must have been stuck.” Worried about Loui
53、ses safety, Captain Graveley decided to ask the passengers if they minded if he diverted. “I knew that the dog had been in the hold for two hours and that if it remained there much longer it would not survive. Yet if we diverted it would mean a delay of over three hours at huge inconvenience for my
54、passengers, so I left it to them.” Almost everyone on board raised their hands. “There were a couple who objected but they might not have understood the problem,” a BA spokesman said. The aircraft diverted to Boston and was on the ground for three hours while vets(兽医) cooled down the panting dog and
55、 kept it under observation. Yesterday Captain Graveley met Mrs Saunders at Heathrow, where he and his crew were presented with an award by the World Society for the Protection of Animals. Answer the following questions briefly.66. What is this article about?67. What caused the dog to be in danger?68

90、he last six months there has been only one trip to another town. In fact, we went out at least once a month. We had special group rate for the trips.

93、tudents use their phones to send text messages or play games during class. Third, we have had many complaints from parents and students that mobile phones have been lost or stolen in the school.

I wasnt surprised though because my parents were great readers, which is my idea of being educ
111、ated. Anyway, I trained to be a nurse but whenever I had free time I wrote poems and short stories. I even once wrote a novel called The Pleasure Principle, but I didnt feel comfortable writing longer pieces and I soon went back to my poetry. Then the strangest thing happened. I had had my twenty-fi
112、rst birthday just a few days before and I was feeling very much that I wanted to change things in my life. Id been nursing a very old woman for several months in a private ward.
