8.I was going to die in Antarctica,I was certain.A picture of my frost-covered body,pale and lifeless,filled my mind as I glanced around.In all directions spreads the empty wilderness of Antarctica,the only feature being the division between snow and sky.I sadly stared at my team,who were rapidly disappearing from my sight.
 It happened in the year 2009 when I was head of an adventure attempting to reach the South Pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world-from Jamaica,India,Singapore and Cyprus-many of whom had never seen snow,or spent a night in a tent,before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole
By the time I realized that my sledge (雪橇) was firmly stuck,the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era,my teammate from Brunei,who was next in line.Getting no response,I called again,but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. I had stood and watched the line for a while as it marched away from me,confident that at any moment one of my teammates would look behind her. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone.
I pushed my sledge again,my strength suddenly increased when I thought of a cold,lonely death. This time the sledge moved a little. I kicked at the ice with my ski-pole and boot,desperately trying to break the sledge free-and pushed again. The sledge shot forward,knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as they realized I wasn't there. As we continued,my panic slowly faded.I found myself laughing to myself as I noticed Reena checking behind her every few paces. In fact for the whole of the rest of the day each member of the team glanced over her shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.

3.Should we allow modern buildings to?be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons for example,economic (經(jīng)濟的) reasons-why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影響) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to  move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.

68.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
69.Which of the following is true according to the author?C
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
70.By"move things forward"in the last paragraph,the author probably means"C"
A.Destroy old buildings
B.Put things in a different place
C.Choose new architectural styles
D.Respect people's feelings for historical buildings
71.What is the main purpose of the passage?D
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
