[2013·东城区高三统考] Masses of   floating ice are so large that they dwarfs_your_ship,_making you question whether your ship still can be spotted among such floating mountains. They are so improbable looking that you simply look in wonder. It seems that nothing that large could be natural－and then it strikes you that something so large could only be natural.

Now, people realize that as climate  change is raising global temperatures, more icebergs are being born. Antarctica creates far more of them than Greenland, the source of bergs in Arctic waters.  Antarctica's are also much larger, sometimes reaching the size of small countries. Recent data shows the average atmospheric temperature  has increased about 4.5oF in the western Antarctic Peninsula since the  1940s, making the region, among the fastest warming on earth. This jump has been shown in the recent breaking of major ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula.  As a result, thousands of new icebergs have broken off, from ice shelves into the Southern Ocean at an accelerated rate.

Even as more icebergs are being created, scientists are learning that these beauties are far from inactive masses of ice. In fact, they strikingly alter their environments biologically, chemically, and physically, making them islands of life in the open sea. Observers at sea had long remarked that they attract seals, and seabirds, and divers had noticed that fish are more numerous near them than in the surrounding sea. Now scientists are learning just what the attraction is all about.

Depending  on their size, location , and the season, icebergs can be nurturers or destroyers. During their existence －typically years from breaking off from  an Antarctic or Greenlandic glacier to their gradual melting as they float into lower altitudes, they support animals on, around, even inside their splendid ice castle. They fertilize the ocean with  nutrients, increasing sea creature  production. Grounded bergs can shelter areas of the seafloor, protecting bottom－living creatures from free－floating icebergs. However, large bergs can also trap sea ice, preventing its annual breakup and thus  stopping  phytoplankton (浮游植物) from  getting  life－giving sunlight, breaking the food chain at its first link...

Icebergs will continue to astonish and attract visitors to  the polar regions with their size and extraordinary beauty. But now these frozen masses are taking on a new dimension of wonder as we uncover their vital role in the environment of polar seas. No longer can we look at icebergs as mere passive beauties. They are active agents of change, each one an icy oasis with a wake of life as it floats on its unstoppable oceanic journey to melting.

许多巨大的冰块漂浮在海上，使你分不清哪是你的船。本文主要讲述了这些冰块是怎样产生的，以及对海洋生物的影响。

1. Why does the author mention “dwarfs_your_ship” in the first paragraph?

A. To explain how natural icebergs are.

B. To show how powerful icebergs are.

C. To describe icebergs as floating ships.

D. To tell the unimaginable size of icebergs.

答案：D　根据第一段第一句中masses of floating ice are so large得知D正确。

2. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The temperature in Arctic is rising faster than that in Antarctica.

B. The ocean food chain breaks due to the melting of icebergs.

C. Floating icebergs help shelter bottom－living ocean creatures.

D. Global warming has kept bringing icebergs into being.

答案：D　根据文章第二段第一句话可知D正确。

3. From the passage we can conclude that icebergs can ________.

A. preserve ocean life

B. carry ocean nutrients away

C. create a warm polar environment

D. keep sea animals away from polar seas

答案：A　  根据第四段中“large bergs can also trap sea ice, preventing its annual breakup and thus stopping phytoplankton(浮游植物)from getting life－giving sunlight, breaking the food chain”中得知，冰块起到保护作用，故选A。

4. What is the author's attitude towards the icebergs?

A. Cautious.   　　　　　　　　　                                

B. Objective.

C. Doubtful.                                     

D. Disapproving.

答案：B　根据全文，作者仅是说明了该现象，并未发表自己的观点，故选B。

B

[2013·荆州中学高二期中]The novelist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, born 200 years ago, was a poor housewife with six children, and she suffered from various illnesses. Driven by the hatred of slavery, she found time to write Uncle Tom's Cabin, which became the most influential novel in American history and caused great change, both at home and abroad.

Today, however, the book has a different reputation , owing to  the popular image of its character, Uncle Tom, whose name has become  a  saying  for  a  cowardly (懦弱的) black man who betrays his race.

But this view is wrong: the original  Uncle Tom was physically and morally strong, an inspiration  for black people and other oppressed (被压迫的) people  worldwide.   Indeed, that was why, in the mid－19th century, Southerners attacked Uncle  Tom's Cabin  as  a  dangerously  destructive book, while Northern reformers－especially black people－often praised it.

The book was influential overseas too. In Russia it inspired Vladimir Lenin, who recalled it as his favorite book in childhood. It was the first American novel to be translated and published in China, and it fueled anti－slavery movements in Cuba and Brazil.

The book's progressive appeal was the character of Uncle Tom himself: a strong man who is notable because he does not betray his race; one reason he gives up escaping from his plantation (种植园) is that he doesn't want  to put his fellow slaves in danger . And he is finally killed because he refuses to tell his master where two runaway slaves are hiding.

Unfortunately, these themes were lost in many of the stage versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

The play, seen by more people than those who read the book, remained popular up to the 1950s and still appears occasionally.  But in the play, Stowe's revolutionary themes were drowned.

But it doesn't have to be that way; indeed, during the civil rights era it was those who most closely resembled Uncle Tom－Stowe's  Uncle  Tom, not  the  embarrassed  one  of popular myth－that proved most effective in promoting progress.  Both Stowe and Uncle Tom deserve  our reconsideration and our respect.

文章介绍了《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这部小说的影响。

5. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin  because she________.

A. wanted to earn money to support her family

B. tried to set an example to her six children

C. hated slavery from the bottom of her heart

D. had similar life experiences to Uncle Tom

答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句Driven by the hatred of slavery, she found time to write Uncle Tom's  Cabin说明C正确。

6. Which of the following is TRUE about the influence of the book?

A. It was the first American novel to be translated into  Russian.

B. It was the most influential book for Vladimir Lenin in his life.

C. It also gave rise to anti－slavery movements in faraway Africa.

D. It inspired black people and people who were suffering in the world.

答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的the original  Uncle Tom was physically and morally strong, an inspiration  for black people and other oppressed (被压迫的) people  worldwide.说明D正确。

7. What can we learn about Uncle Tom in the book?

 A. He helps his fellow slaves to avoid getting into danger.

 B. He is a black man who betrays his race.

 C. He manages to escape from the plantation.

 D. He kills himself instead of giving away the slaves.

答案：A　细节理解题。根据第五段后半部分one reason  he gives up escaping from his plantation(种植园)is that he  doesn't want to put his fellow slaves in danger.  And he is  finally killed because he refuses to tell his master where two  runaway slaves are hiding.说明他一直在帮助那些奴隶，保护他们没有危险，故A正确。

8. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

 A. The themes of revolution and progress in the book  were lost in the play.

 B. There are more people who have read the book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, than those who have seen the stage version.

 C. The play was very popular and it is still put on from  time to time today.

 D. It was Uncle Tom in the book that promoted the progress of mankind.

答案：B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句The  play, seen by more people than those who read the book，说明看书的人没有看到这部电影的人多，故B错误。

Ⅵ. 短文改错

Dear friends，

Here is my points. We students of today have to fix our attention on our lessons, and for a result, we know few of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up for that. Take a part－time job is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in books and in class can't have same important effect on us as what we have learned through personal practice. In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both knowledge and practical ability. Beside, taking a part－time job, we may got paid more or less to help our family. Thus, I will say a senior school student should take a part－time job in holiday, if possible, of course.
