It is the only continent on the earth without a river or a lake. The antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that so cold a place would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. Ten times that much moisture(雨量) falls in parts of the Sahara.The little snow that falls in Antarctica never melts. It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century . When the snow gets to be about eighty feet deep it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it. 56.Antarctica is called a desert because it _ .A.is sandy B.has the same temperature as a desertC. has little moisture and no lakes or rivers. D. all of the above57.The antarctic has _ . A.ten times as much moisture as the Sahara B. the same amount of moisture as the Sahara C. about one-tenth the moisture of the Sahara D.none of these58.

Antarctica is the worlds coldest continent.B.A poor traveller stopped under the tree to eat the boiled rice and vegetalbes which he had brought with him. A few metres away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying fish and selling it to travellers. The woman watched the poor traveller carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You havent paid me for the fried fish!” “But I have not had any fried fish !” he said. “But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables,” said the woman, “If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant!” Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveller, they had to admit that wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him. Finally, the woman took the poor traveller to a judge, who said: “The woman says that the traveller ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The traveller agrees that the wind was blowing from the womans shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables and that it carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it . What does your fried fish cost?” he asked the woman. “Twenty-five cents a plate,” she answered, delighted. “Then go outside together,” said the judge. “There the traveller must hold up a twenty-five-cent piece so that its shadow(影子) falls on the womans hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is the shadow of twenty-five cents.”60. Why did the traveller refuse to pay the woman for the fried fish? Because _.A. he was poor B. he was rude C. he was supported by a crowd. D.he hadnt eaten her fried fish at all 61. When the judge asked the woman a question, she felt _.A. excited B. anxious C. glad D. angry 62. Which of the following statements is true?A. The traveller bought the boiled rice and vegetables and ate them by the side of the road.B. The judge had no idea what the woman meant.C. In the fifth paragraph, the first “it” has the same meaning as the second “it”.D.The woman got nothing but the shadow of twenty-five cents in the end.63. What do you think of the judge after reading the passage?A. He was foolish. B. He was clever. C. He was neitheer foolish nor clever. D. He was kind enough to give the woman twenty-five cents. C. “If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes,” advises Stephen Pribut, a US sports medicine expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. They provide stability while bearing up to three times the wearers body weight. But its not easy to find the right pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel.The science part begins with the shape of the arch（弓）of your foot, which anyone can find out at home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you see a “C” shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? Thats a normal arch.Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral(for high arches), stability(for normal or low arches) and motion control(for flat arches). So you will know which type suits you.At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on. But professionals would do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If its not at the forefoot-where the foot actually bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a towel, it means theres zero support. Finally, you squeeze the heel in both directions. A stable heel wont cave in.Now you need to check the mold that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether its wide or narrow in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.Its wise to hold off until the afternoon to make the shoe purchase, to allow for any swelling that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choice. The rule is you need a fingers width from your longest toe (whether thats your big one or not) to the end of the shoe.64What is the main idea of this passage?AAdvantages of wearing running shoes fitting you.BWays to get to know about the shape of the arch of your foot.CAdvice on how to choose the right pair of running shoes.DBest time to buy a pair of running shoes.65If the arch of your foot looks like a “C” shape, you have _
