Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party (化装舞会 )instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in science than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn’t want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet(床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it’s time for the great prize game. It’s the following riddle…” It was a science game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

In Antarctica(南极), when spring comes, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.

In the brightly world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal (威德尔海豹) appears through a crack (裂缝) in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals(哺乳动物), and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.

The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice—she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the seal gives birth to a baby. The baby is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The baby drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. With a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.

When the baby seal is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the baby seal learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.

Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the baby seal soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.

The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the young seal is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When it becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.

71. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.

A. the function of Weddell seals’ teeth             

B. the living conditions of Weddlel seals

C. how Weddell seals move under the ice             

D. how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open

72. According to Paragraph 3, the baby seal ________.

A. grows slowly                                                                          B. is still short after a few weeks   

C. is born under the ice                                               D. is covered with thick fur

73. The baby seal begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________.

A. two days old                                 B. two weeks old

C. two months old                                          D. two years old

74. For a young Weddell seal, ________.

A. its father’s help is important                                          B. getting onto the ice shelf is easy

C. finding the breathing hole is easy                            D. learning to hunt for food is unnecessary

75. The text is mainly about ________.

A. Weddell seals’ life                                                                      B. animals on and under the ice

C. how Weddell seals keep warm                                          D. what the winter in Antarctica is like

One possible version:

Dear Sir,

I’m a student of Senior 1. I am writing to ask you for some advice.

Since entering Senior 1, my parents and teachers have kept asking me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full use of my night time, and that I also develop the ability to look after myself.

However, I have my own thoughts. If staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know how to deal with the disagreement between us. Can you give me your advice?

Yours,

Li Ming
