Educators and explorers Will Steger, John Stetson, Elizabeth Andre and Abby Fenton joined four Inuit hunters on a 1,200-mile, four-month-long dog-seld expedition (考察队) across the Canadian Arctic’s Baffin Island.
The expedition is travelling with four Inuit dog teams over traditional hunting paths, up frozen rivers, through steep-sided bays, over glaciers and ice caps, and across the sea ice to reach some of the most remote Inuit village of the world.
The travelers wake up early around 6 a. m . During the course of the day they are able to travel about 17 miles. They hope to be able to travel 25 miles or 30 miles per day. They manage their body temperature by adding or taking off layers depending on their level activity.
Team member Elizabeth Andre had to leave the expedition because of frostbite(冻伤) . She was disappointed to miss part of the expedition, but leaving the field was the right decision to protect her fingers from any more damage. She will rejoin the expedition in Pangnirtung, the next village. Elizabeth feels how tough the weather condition can be in the Arctic. She is beginning to appreciate how much skill and knowledge of the environment the Inuit people have.
The expedition team plan to eat a combination of country foods from Iglulik, fresh meat hunted on the trail, and dried food packed out from Steger’s homeland in Minnesota.
The expedition members have already begun to notice the effects of global warming. Theo, a native Inuit traveling with the team, points out that “Looking at what we saw today －we saw that there haven’t been caribou(驯鹿) tracks for a long time. Usually, you look out of your window in Iqaluit and you see them. Now numbers are down”. Theo was born in an igloo(冰屋)and has lived in Inuit for most of his life.
49. The main purpose of the expedition is to_______.
A. experience the hard life of Inuit
B. appreciate the beautiful environment of Inuit village
C. do some research about the Inuit’s life style
D. explore the effects of global warming
50. of the expedition team members didn't miss any part of the expedition.
A. Four B. Six C. Seven D. Eight
51. The author gives an example of the caribou to show that_______.
A. global warming has had bad effects on the environment there
B. caribous are dying out because of the cold weather
C. the Inuit hunters have killed too many wild animals
D. good measures haven’t been taken to protect wild animals
52. From the text we can learn that_______.
A. the expedition team will walk across the Arctic
B. the expedition members only eat their packed food
C. the final stop for the expedition team is Pangnirtung
D. traveling to Inuit villages needs skill and knowledge of the environment.
As we all know “ The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “ 26 every successful man there is a woman.” Both these 27 mean the same things. Men rule the 28__ , but their wives rule them.
Chinese people and other foreigners often say, 29_ of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want 30__ for themselves. They want good 31 . When they work they want to 32__ better paid. They want to be as 33__ as men.
In the 1960s, the American women’s liberation 34 was started by women who don’t want to 35 behind successful men. They want to stand beside them, with the same 36__ for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or 37__ are closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who do the 38 work for higher pay.
In America, a liberation woman must be 39 of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “ You have come a long 40 , baby”, she will 41 and answer, “Not nearly as 42 as I am going to go, baby.”
On the other hand , this movement is quite 43 and many American women do not agree. 44__ it has already made some important 45__ in women’s lives.

My Fellow Americans,
I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).
Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would 36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 37 way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that 40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to 41 to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is 42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 44 by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I’d 45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 46 done. I will continue to share 47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 48 my friends and supporters.
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage.
At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.
I now begin this 54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
