A

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院) knew little about her. The

street where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else －to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began to work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong Competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.

Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

Mary studied management(管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography(摄影). She has held several exhibitions of her works in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and support her family.

In the most southern part of our planet, there' s a place that' s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.

As the world's least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarcti ca a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.

Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen food which can be heated easily is people's daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.

Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create "night".

What's more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables(电缆) and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.

Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists' passion to learn about this mysterious(神秘的) land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.

25. From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.

A．is covered with snow and ice B．rains heavily from time to time

C．has little wind most of the time D．has sunshine during every night

26. Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________.

A. find out ways to control water pollution

B. research climate change and marine biology

C. grow plants and vegetables in special condition

27. In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to ________.

A. wear more clothes to keep warm

B. eat more fried and canned vegetables

C. connect research stations with ropes

D. cover the windows with black cloth

28. The underlined word passion in the last paragraph means_________

A. strong love

B. full preparation

C. kind heart

D. amazing imagination

29. Which is not true according to the passage?
