第4题

The great Alaskan explorer John Muir once wrote that to have dinner with a glacier on a su

nny day is an excellent thing. It is better to sleep beside one, on an Antarctic island, with just a sleeping bag for warmth and the sky as your tent. Our camp-out was in early January of this year on Danco Island, along the Antarctic Peninsula. Midway through a 10-day Antarctic journey, conditions were near perfect. We started our voyage from the Akademik Loffe in Zodiacs, landing on the wide beach with its fist-sized rocks. At the height of the Antarctic summer, the shore was clear of snow, with plenty of rooms for the 40 adventurers to spend the night. Daneo Island was charted in 1898 by the Belgian explorer Adrien De Gerla-che, who was the first to prove that you could overwinter in Antarctica and survive. De Gerlache paved the way for Lt. Robert Scotts first expedition in 1901. De Gerlache mapped the archipelago(群岛).He later named the island after his team member Emile Danco, a geophysicist who died that winter. For one year in the mid-1950s, Danco was known as a base by the British, who kept a scientific research station there, although all that remains of it is a foundation and a pile of coal. Our expedition was organized by Australian tour operator Peregrine Adventures. The weather was extraordinary-sunny with daytime temperatures of about 1~2°C. The camping was easy and accessible to all ages. Sleeping under the stars in Antarctica, in just a sleeping bag is pretty amazing.

Whom did Adrien de Gerlache have a direct effect on？

A．John Muir.

B．Lt. Robert Scott.

C．The tourists.

D．The author.

第8题

Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two per

sons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.

The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for a systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.

Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, of flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand stroking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form. of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.

The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a short time, and the person involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore all are restricted in time and space.

Why does the author begin his analysis with the means of receiving communication rather than the means of sending communication？

A．Communication actually takes place when the message is received.

B．There are more means of receiving than of sending communications.

C．Reception of communications involves of the senses.

D．It is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communications.
