My name is Eivind Trodden. I’m 42 years old and on Svalbard in the North Pole. My background was originally software engineering, and years later I decided to go ahead and get my pilot license. This year I wanted to try my hands at technology and got a job at Svatsat, the northernmost Satellite (卫星) Ground Station in the world. Now I work as a pilot and an operation engineer.
Originally, I moved here for the job. This was the first pilot job I got. After a while, I was attracted by the place, and right now the most important thing for me is to live here.
It is wonderful, full of differences. The polar night is balanced with the midnight sun. Here the year is much like a day. The winter is night. In the morning there is ice, snow and then spring. Then there is the endless day of summer, and finally, the town settles in with the sunset of autumn.
The summer is the most difficult. It is harder to create darkness than light. You have to have good blinds (窗簾) on your bedroom windows. A good trick is to create your own evening. I like to close the blinds and sit down in relative darkness with a good book or a movie before I go to bed.
The dark season is the favorite of many people living here. There are fewer tourists, and people have a chance to get together and be social after the busy summer. You have to be self-controlled, though, and not start lighting candles in the middle of the day. Don’t underestimate (低估) the cost of living here. You need a large number of tools to experience Svalbard to the fullest.
24. Eivind Trodden’s present work is probably connected with .
A. training the pilots B. software engineering
C. researching the coldest place ; D. satellite controlling technology
25. What made the author decide to live in the North Pole?
A. His lifestyle. B. His love for the place.
C. Better living conditions. D. Chances to get a job.
26. Why do people living in the North Pole like winter most?
A. There are less rules to follow. B. They have spare time to relax.
C. There are no tourists to trouble them. D. They needn’t light candles any longer.
27. What words can best describe the life in Satellite Ground Station?
A. Great and different. B. Slow but exciting.
C. Colorful and meaningful. D. Busy but boring.
C
In Yakutia, Siberia, temperatures drop to as low as -71℃. It is actually one of the coldest places on earth. Located a few hundred miles outside the Arctic (北極) Circle, The Republic of Sakha, also known as Yakutia, is now the largest republic in Russia.
Fur (毛皮) hats and thick coats are surely required. Thick fur boots, gloves, and anything else to avoid are highly encouraged.
People of Yakutia are so used to the cold that they even have an open air market where they can shop for meat and fish. The best part is that they don’t need those huge freezers to keep the meat. Sellers remain outdoors for the entire day in the freezing winds.
And if you think there’s no way to have fun in such a tough environment, think again. They love ice fishing and ice swimming. They actually take off all their clothes and put on their swimwear before swimming in the freezing waters.
It’s so cold outside that some people don’t need freezers anymore. Pipes (管道) are left outside as well since they cannot be laid out under the ground because of the hard soil. Other people make do with blocks of ice that they cut from the rivers for free water. Toilet duties are handled outside. Just be sure to do everything quickly.
It’s not always freezing as summer can hit 40℃ though it is short and dry. It is among the coldest cities in the world. Visitors need to do a lot of research and preparations before spending a few days in Yakutia, though it certainly is an interesting place to experience!
28. What can we learn about Yakutia from Paragraph 1?
A. Its area is larger than Russia. ; B. It is the coldest place on earth.
C. Its temperature is always -71℃ in winter. D. It is outside the Arctic Circle.

A. Freezing damage. B. High fever. C. Going out. D. Falling down.
30. What do people in Yakutia like to do for fun?
A. Cut blocks of ice for water. B. Sell fish and meat in the open air.
C. Go ice fishing and ice swimming. D. Handle toilet duties outside quickly.
31. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Science. B. Tourism. C. Sports. D. Culture.

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw (吸管) or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage (垃圾), forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse”, a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In one piece, Von Wong wanted to illustrate a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic”, Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (傾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
32. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
33. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in Paragraph 3?
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling. B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art. D. To find a replacement for them.
34. How may the viewers feel when seeing “Truckload of Plastic”?
A. Relieved. B. Inspired. C. Pleased. D. Shocked.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety B. Media Interest in Modern Art
C. Responsibility Required for Big Companies D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
