• 2．Scientists have been studying Antarctica for over a century，but details as basic as what it looks like beneath all that ice have largely remained a mystery.Now，Earther reports that a team of scientists from Denmark，Norway，the Netherlands and the UK has published the most detailed data on the continent's subglacial topography（冰川下的地形）near the South Pole.
     As they report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters，central Antarctica is home to three large canyons（峡谷），one of which is deeper than the Grand Canyon and nearly as wide at some points.The researchers made the discovery by flying a plane with radar over the South Pole，a spot that isn't covered by imaging satellites.They expected to find mountains beneath the ice sheet，but the wide canyons they found between the mountains came as a surprise.
     Of the three canyons，two hadn't been documented previously.The largest，the Foundation Trough，measures 218 miles long，up to 22 miles wide，and 6，260 feet deep，putting it up there with the planet's most impressive canyons.
     The discoveries are significant on their own，but the real purpose behind the research is to better understand how the West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets will react to rising temperatures.Human-caused climate change has destabilized some of the continent's ice，and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet especially has been slowly crumbling（崩塌）into the sea.If patterns continue，the coastal glaciers supporting the large ice sheets could fall down，causing sea levels to rise a minimum of 10 feet.If this happens，the canyons could be a major factor in the speed and direction of ice flow from central Antarctica to the coast.
     The event isn't likely to happen in the near future，but further study of Antarctica's topography will help scientists to better predict when it might.
  
  （1）According to the text，the researchers found the new canyons

  .
  A．as planned
  B．by accident
  C．in the sea
  D．with satellites
  （2）What can be known about the canyons according to paragraph 4？

  
  A．They are likely to affect ice flow.
  B．They cause ice sheets to crumble.
  C．They stop ice flowing into the sea.
  D．They help to cool ice sheets down.
  （3）What does the author think of the further study of Antarctica's topography？

  
  A．It's confusing.
  B．It's quite easy.
  C．It's meaningful.
  D．It's challenging.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Rising Temperatures Cause Sea Levels to Rise
  B．Massive Canyons Are Found Beneath Ice Sheets
  C．Antarctica Still Remains Unknown to the Public
  D．Antarctica's Topography Will Be Predicted Soon

• 7．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整故事。续写的词数应为150词左右。
     The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge.The dark night air was cold and a little wet，and the street lamp gave little light.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.
     When he reached the middle of the bridge，he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him.He looked back but could see no one.However，the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly.Then he slowed down again，thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.
     Just then，he heard short，quick steps closely behind him.By the time he reached the other side of the bridge ，he could almost feel someone at his jye.aiels.He turned round and there stood a man in a large coat.A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
     Frank said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly.The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was.Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
     Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour.He knew that the people who lived there were very rich.Almost without realizing what he was doing，he began following the stranger quickly.
     The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows.A light was still on and the man waited until it went out.When about half an hour had passed，Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.
  Paragraph 1：
  Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.______________________________
  Paragraph 2：
  Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and wait.________________________
