Getting to Antarctica is not easy. The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious
continent do so by ship. To reach Antarctica, ships must pass through an extremely violent area of ocean
called the Drake Passage, considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet.
Walls of water thirty, sometimes forty feet high continually crashed against our ship for two solid
days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped( 倾斜) to one extreme side,
then to the other, and then back again. My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be.
About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage, the waters calmed. Soon, we noticed
small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice. Emperor penguins! Then, we began the two-mile hike
over the ice to the penguin colony. Within several hundred yards, small groups of emperors, perhaps ten or
so at a time, greeted us, sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises, sort of a long, high-
pitched sound.
One day two adult emperors with their three chicks following them approached Claire, who was
resting on the ice. They left the chicks with her, as if she were the babysitter.
Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks. And I will never forget the penguin that,
when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters, pointed a wing in the correct direction. Every
night aboard our safe and warm ship, we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica, an incredibly
harsh place.
But each day on the ice, we also thought about the Drake Passage, the impact of the large body of
water we had to endure to get where we were. Over the course of our visit, we came to respect the power of
that sea. We still talk about the penguins, as I’m sure we always will. But we talk about the Drake Passage,
too. Both experiences were unforgettable, and one would not have been possible without the other.
24. Why is the Drake Passage mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. The water in the area is usually calm. B. People can see very attractive scenery there.
C. A lot of sea animals often appear in the area. D. It is quite a dangerous section of the journey.
25. What is the theme of the third paragraph?
A. The visitors appreciated the penguins. B. The living habits of emperor penguins.
C. How penguins made their wonderful noises. D. The appearance and shape of emperor penguins.
26. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Penguins try to avoid human beings.
B. Penguins are not afraid of human beings.
C. Claire played with the two adult penguins for a long time.
D. Claire led the young penguins to where the adult penguins stayed.
27. What does the underlined word “endure” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Promote. B. Break. C. Arrange. D. Experience.

Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter, usually from major brands pitching ( 竭力
推销) her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, could not afford. Ms. Kapraun
was not interested. But she soon saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like low-end ads,”
she said. In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly
seem to be everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience. People
interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting gold
investments. And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches. But lately, on
several platforms, the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the
overall digital ad market. As numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back, and the softer market
has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding
advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly. They point to a variety
of potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-
level advertisers seeking other choices. Then, there’s the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational
companies representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned
to cut back on their marketing spending last year.
Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality. Social media advertising, once only
practiced by specialists, is now easily available to anyone. Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—
placements intended to reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-
pray ( 广 撒 网 式 的 ) approach online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible ( 容 易 受骗 的 ) or bored
