         阅读下面短文, 根据第1-3小题的具体要求, 简要回答问题。
         Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel
    from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best.
          As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty
    tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not
    allowed to employ tools that use electricity.
         Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with
    tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet (后脚) reaching into a fish bowl complete
    with water ripples (涟漪) and a crab (螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog
    looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass,
    the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws (脚爪) touching.
         As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. They use
    small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes
    while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle
    bows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and
    visual impact (视觉效果)of the designs.
         In 200, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled"Discovery". But the competition is
    not just about medals and ribbons. "It's not about the prize," said Rob Neyland, Team USA's captain."It's about
    touching the audience."
         Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design.

    阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

    The north magnetic pole(磁极)is no longer a resident of Canada.It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia.

    Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole—the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis(地轴),the north magnetic pole(where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward)is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field,a process that originates about 3000 kilometers below our feet,in the outer core(核心)of the planet.But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace.

    Over the past century,the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year,says Larry Newitt,head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa.Since the 1970s,this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year.

    Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing,says Newitt.One hypothesis(假说)relates it to “magnetic jerks”,sudden shifts(变化)in the rate of change of the magnetic field.There have been three jerks in the past four decades,each one correlating to an increases in speed.

    If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate,it could reach Siberia by 2056.

    “For most of recorded history,the pole has been a part of Canada,and now it’s not,”says Newitt.“It may be a blow to our collective psyche,but other than that,it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence.”

    73.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “angling”.

    第二节  简答题（共3小题，每小题2分，满分6分）

    阅读下面短文，根据73-75题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

    Shanghai is the largest city in China. About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai and its suburbs. This extremely large city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north of here. Large oceangoing ships travel to Shanghai by way of the Yangtze and the Huang Pu.

    Shanghai was a small, unimportant city until 1842 when China lost a war with Great Britain. The British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely（密集） populated Yangtze River Plain. They forced the Chinese to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the city walls. Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai. The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings. Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs. Most of them settled in the old part of the city. As time passed, shanghai became one of the busiest seaports in the world.

    73. Where do most people in shanghai make their homes? (回答词数不超过7个)

    _________________________________________________________________.

    74. What is the purpose of the Chinese people’s coming into Shanghai ?

    简答题。
         阅读下面短文，根据第1-3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
         A barn is where farmers keep animals and equipment. Over time as fewer and fewer people worked
    on the land, more and more barns were torn down to make way for developers. Others that remained
    might have fallen into poor condition. Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of modern farmers. Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it doesn't serve much
    purpose. But Americans with historic barns are being urged to save them. The magazine Successful
    Farming     and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called
    Barn Again! The National Trust is a non-profit organization that works to provide protection for places
    of historic importance in America.
         The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every year. Awards are given for the
    projects that best succeed in restoring a barn for continued farm use. Winning buildings are used to
    demonstrate methods of preservation.
         The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be
    fixed. With many old barns, the foundation they are built on is falling apart. Barn Again also offers advice
    for other repairs, like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint. And
    farmers are given suggestions about how to calculate costs.
         Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton, Michigan won the 2004 Barn Again Award. He made one
    improvement at a time. The work took more than nine years. He did it himself, even though for a while he
    held another job in addition to farming. He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars, much less than a
    new barn of similar size. The improvements include strengthening the barn. There are no structural
    supports inside the building; instead, its sizes hold it up.  
    1. Why were barns torn down? (回答词数不超过6个)
    2. What does Barn Again program do? (回答词数不超过8个)
    3. What is the best title for the passage? (回答词数不超过6个)
