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
11、were all ordinary people who had never 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 period.Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge (雪橇) weighing over50 kilos. This
12、 would not have been too bad on a smooth surface, but for long stretches (一片地域), the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three meters high and the sledges had to be pulledup on side and carefully let down the other so that they didnt crash. The temperature was always below freezing point
13、and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult to put up their tents when they stopped each nightIn such conditions the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day. But there was another prob
14、lem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea withmoving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift (漂流) back more thanfive kilometers during the night. That meant that after walking in these very terrible conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the ne
15、xt day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it would take 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 part of a team. If any one of th
16、em didnt pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the wholeexpedition (远征探险). Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else beingcompletely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that
17、it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.21. What was so extraordinary about the expedition?A. It was a new experience for most of the women. B. The women did not have any men with them.C. The women had not met one another before. D. There was no one leadin
18、g it.22. During the expedition, the women had to be careful to avoid .A. being left behindB. damaging the sledgesC. falling over on the iceD. breaking the ice23. It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometers a day because .A. they got too tiredB. they kept getting lostC. the ice was moving b
19、ackwardsD. the temperatures were very low24. Which of the following can best describe the women in the text?A. Strict but caring.B. Proud but patient.C. Honest and devoted.D. Determined and strong-willed.25. What can we infer from the text?A. Experience must be bought.B Facts speak louder than words
20、.C. He who risks nothing gains nothing.D. Motivation and teamwork achieve goals.BFor people, who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of todays sound professionals are s
21、haring their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief triesto escape. And the officer cant let him get away. He pulls out a speci
22、al device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range AcousticDevice (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器 ). It produces a deafening sound so painful that ittemporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and
23、 travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Lets say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming (哼唱) a short commercial song.He hums it over and over again, and you ar
24、e about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. T
25、he two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights (聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one sect
26、ion of a stage; similarly,a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing
27、 customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear inshopping centers and even at homes.26. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?A. It causes temporary hearing loss.B. It slows down a running man.C. It make
28、s it easy to identify a suspect.D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others.27. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to .A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you28. What feature do spots
29、ounds and spotlights share?A. They travel in circles.B. They clear the atmosphere.C. They can be transformed into energy.D. They can be directed onto a specific area.29.
