War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about. 26 I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to 27 more on a growing problem—global warming.
Global warming will not only 28 our country and our generation, but also the entire 29 and future generations. It is 30 because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which 31 the melting(融化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levels to 32 and flood parts of the world.
Many people ignore this problem because they feel 33 they can't do anything about it and have more 34 things to worry about. If we all 35 so, then our ozone layer (臭氧层) will be 36 and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist. We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's 37 resources and keep our air clean. 38 , future generations will suffer from our 39 .
Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from 40 . But if every person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a 41 effort. Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to 42 change. This may include cars burning oil, but we can 43 adjust some of these things. People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or 44 just walking.

A
I was going to die in Antarctica, I was certain. An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around. In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei. \Stop!\
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.
46. What is special about the expedition team?
A. They were all female. B. They were all professional. C. They made the longest expedition.
D. They had been strictly trained.
47. What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was .
A. the shouts from her teammates B. her strong desire to live
C. the sudden change in wind direction D. the natural beauty ahead
48. At last, each of the team members kept looking back .
A. to avoid being attacked from behind B. to make sure that none fell behind C. to check the distance they had covered D. to keep a record of the route they took
49. Which may be the best title of the passage?
A. How to Survive in Antarctica B. A Mysterious Trip to the South Pole C. A Female Expedition Team D. Being Left Behind in the Snow
B
As the world's largest terrestrial carnivore (陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds. The polar bears have a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears.
Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole. The 5,000,000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.
Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice. The dens aren't visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear—with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.
