Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville fifty years ago, it was a quiet country village. At that time, they had a small house, with some fields and the hills in the distance.
But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. It now has over a million people. And soon, Parkville became a suburb (郊区) of Arnwick. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats—there’s no room for small houses any more.
The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault (错误). She liked her old school.
Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private (私人的) cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes (税收) to pay for everything. 62. What was Parkville like fifty years ago? 63. Why did people move to Arnwick? 64. Where is Jo’s new school?
65. It’s difficult to run a big city, … What does “run” mean in Chinese here? 66. Give at least two examples of problems that Arnwick has.
B）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。
The Antarctica (南极洲) is the most southern area of land on the earth and is mostly covered with ice. People have never wanted to l 67 there because of its coldest temperature. But now scientists from all over the w 68 come to study the ice to learn more about the earth’s history.
Some scientists live on Antarctica for part of the y 69 . But they don’t usually stay there for more than six months b 70 there are six months of light and six months of darkness.
Antarctica usually has a good deal of f 71 weather without any wind at all. The strong winds are usually only in some parts of it. It is also i 72 to learn that it isn’t very wet there. There is very l 73 snow or rain. It snows on the ice in winter, but at other times Antarctica is d 74 , just like the Sahara Desert. In winter the sea around Antarctica freezes (结冰) for t 75 of kilometres. But scientists tell us that the earth is getting w 76 . So in the future, there may be less ice in the Antarctic sea. When that happens, our weather will never be the same again.
