On January 22, a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf. Scientists
say the iceberg was expected to break off and the event isn't connected to climate change. But
the size of the iceberg is hard to imagine.
The iceberg, known as "A81", is extremely large. It covers an area of about 600 square
miles(1,550 square kilometers).
Antarctica, the world's fifth largest continent, is covered with a layer of ice and snow
that's roughly 1.2 miles(1.9 kilometers) thick. As snow falls, it piles up in the center of
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Antarctica in a huge layer of ice. Over time, the weight of this ice and snow creates slowly
moving rivers of ice called glaciers, which push out towards the sea.
When the glaciers reach the sea, they slowly push out beyond the edge of the land,
forming huge "ice shelves". These are massive sections of ice that spread out over the sea,
floating on the water below. Antarctica's largest ice shelf, the Ross Ice Shelf, is about the size
of France.
From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process, called
"calving". Though calving events are a normal part of the ice shelf in Antarctica, one expert
describes huge calving events like this one as "spectacular".
Unlike an ice shelf, sea ice isn't attached to Antarctica's land. It's a layer of ice that floats
on the surface of the sea. The sea ice is there year-round. It grows larger in the cold winters,
and smaller as it begins to melt in the summers.
It's now summer in Antarctica, and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually"
rapidly. Last year, with temperatures warmer than normal, Antarctica set a record for the
lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded. Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice could set a new
record low again this year.
24. Why have a lot of icebergs broken off from Antarctica in recent years?
A. Because of climate change. B. Because of human activities.
C. Because of their extremely big size. D. Because of the amount of iceberg.
25. What does the underlined word “calving” probably refer to in paragraph 5?
A. Giving birth. B. Breaking off.
C. Coming together. D. Cutting down.
26. What is the scientists' attitude towards the changes of sea ice in Antarctica?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
27. What is probably the best title of this text?
A. Massive Iceberg Breaks from Antarctica
B. Scientists Say the Iceberg Was to Break Off
C. Antarctica's Sea Ice Could Set a New Record
D. The Sea Ice Disappears "Unusually" Rapidly

You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling(泼出) your
coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform
as the train pulls away.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司But at least, if you’re in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won’t
be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be
a random passer-by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad
company, S.N.C.F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to
play, and travelers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.
Gares & Connexions, the S.N.C.F. division that manages its stations, rents the
instruments from the producer, Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month
or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling
suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur musicians have included
Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organized a
nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit videos of
themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.
Isn’t the railroad company taking a big chance? Apparently not: “None of the
instruments has been vandalized to this day, or even merely damaged,” said Claire Foumon, a
spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. “They are shared and respected by all.”
So if you miss a train in Paris; Bordeaux or Marseille one day, perhaps someone will be
playing a favorite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you’ll sit down and play your
annoyance away yourself.
28. Why did Gares & Connexions fix pianos in railway stations?
A.To advertise Yamaha’s products. B.To make stations more attractive.
C.To let travelers have a relaxing trip. D.To help street artists make a living.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The contest has proved a hit.
B.The pianos are very popular.
C.Railway stations are crowded.
D.Everyone can be an amateur musician.
30. What does the underlined word “vandalized” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Selected carefully. B.Checked regularly.
C.Reserved in advance. D.Destroyed on purpose.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Miss a train yet catch a tune B.A soundscape in the memory
C.The role of piano in French life D.An amazing train with a piano bar

How to be Creative
Most of us think that creativity is quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers,
rather than ourselves. 36____. The following tips are a great beginning for developing our
creativity.
Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns(模
式) and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to
recognize patterns. 37____. In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of
patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on
creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zone and open up
new possibilities.
Try different things
We are used to habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to
work, take the subway for a few days. 38____. Interrupt your routine, experiment and try
something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.
39____
Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen
a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is
making money with "your" idea. 40____. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is
action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you
are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A. Take action
B. Seek several choices
C. Think from the other person's point of view
D. If you usually eat in the office, have lunch under a tree
E. So we can create patterns for almost everything we do
F. The truth is that we are all bora with the ability to be creative

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him
famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the
middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes—
even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife
liked to remind her neighbors, " If John didn't have his head tied on, he would forget that
too!" Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an
embarrassment to him. It wasn't that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say,
but just very very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about
a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children , he
kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith
forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be
in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find
out where he was going.
The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
"Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town."
"What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I'll write the
name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don't
forget where you put it."
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later
she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

"What is the matter now?" asked his wife.
