Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)No

40、tices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village schoolmistress here, the Flower Show appears to have been an event of some import

41、ance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre. I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I knew, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls house dec

42、orations or little gardens and so on, included in the program. It was a freezing, starlit night. By the time I arrived at the Village hall, there were about ten people already there. The doctor was chairman of the meeting. A few men were warming their hand over the rather smoky oil stove, which was

43、trying, somewhat inefficiently, to warm the room. The meeting was called for seven thirtya most inconvenient time in my private opinion as it successfully upsets the evening and puts back the time of ones evening meal. By a quarter to eight only fifteen people had arrived. “I think we must begin,” t

44、he doctor said, turning his gentle smile upon us. He gave a short speech about the past glories of Fairarces Flower Show and his hopes that it might take place again. “Perhaps someone would put forward the suggestion that the Flower Show be restarted?” he suggested. There was a heavy silence, broken

45、 only by the movement of feet from the bench at the back. All fifteen of us, I noticed, were middle-aged. John Pringle, Mrs. Pringles only child, must have been the youngest among us and he is a man of nearly thirty. It was John who, at last, shyly answered the doctors request. “Ill do it,” he said.

46、 “Propose we have a Flower Show then.” He sat down, pink and self-conscious, and the doctor thanked him sincerely. “Is there anybody else who agrees with this proposal?” Again that painful silence. It seemed as though we sat in a dream. “Ill do it,” I said, when I could stand the waiting no longer.

47、“Good! Good!” said the doctor cheerfully. “Lets take a vote here then.” All fifteen raised their hands doubtfully. To look at our faces an outsider might reasonably have thought we were having the choice of hanging or the electric chair.What is the purpose of the meeting?To make arrangements for the

48、 next Flower Show.To get peoples ideas about the next Flower Show.To decide whether a Flower Show would be held again.To find out whether people would help with the Flower Show.What was the reason for the authors attendance?The school children has always taken part in the Flower Show.She wanted to f

49、ind out what the children could do to help.She wanted to know what special lessons to give the children.The school children might do more work in the school garden.Why did the author declare her support for Mr. Pringles proposal?It had become fairly clear that nobody else would.She was in hurry to g

50、o home.She was the only one really interested in the matter.She felt sorry for the doctor.【答案】56.C 57.A 58.A【分析】首段的第一句話中提到召集村莊里所有的人開會商討一年一度的Flower Show花展，而這個(gè)花展已經(jīng)有好幾年沒在Fairacre舉辦了，所以是為了討論是否再次舉辦Flower Show，故答案是C。文章第二段的首句即是答案，作者學(xué)校的學(xué)生過去常常參與到Flower Show當(dāng)中，故答案是A。文章最后三段描述了proposal的過程，從中可以看出，沒有人愿意站出來支持Mr. P

51、ringle舉辦花展的提議，除了作者，故答案是A。(B)Mapping AntarcticaAntarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They though it was needed to balance out the co

52、ntinents at the top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita(Latin for “unknown land”) at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica that mapmakers got down to th

53、e business of really mapping the continent, which is oneanda half times rhe size of the U.S.While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanesand later, satellitesto chart Antarcticas vast interior(內(nèi)陸). That job continues today. And it is a job that still re

54、quire a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild. Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center(PGC), which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the compa

55、nys Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giants popular feature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records image in all directions. “It weighs about 50 pounds. I was out for two and a ha

56、lf days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the

57、U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles. Another recent project was to help recover a giant, hightech helium(氦氣) balloon used to ca

58、rry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere. These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth. Using satellite images, Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.Antarctica may no l

59、onger be Terra Incognita, but it still holds countless mysteries. Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.59. From the passage, we can infer that Antarctica was on the map in the 1500s when_.A. mapmakers knew it was much larger th

60、an the U.S.B. Aristotle named the continent Terra IncognitaC. no one had ever seen or been to the continentD. it was such an interesting continent as was often referred to60.
