     Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams
travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty- five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best.    
     As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty
tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are
not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.    
     Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot
with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后腳) reaching into a fish bowl
complete with water ripples(漣漪) and a crab(螃蟹)trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA
sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw
its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(腳爪) touching.    
     As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute details. They
use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five
minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When
the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity,
technical skills, and visual impact(視覺效果)of the designs.      
     In 2006, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculp-ture titled "Discovery". But the
competition is not just about medals and ribbons. "It's not about the prize," said Rob Neyland, Team USA's captain. "It's about touching the audience.” Every year, as the championship ends, each team is
already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)第73至第75小題的具體要求，簡要回答問題。

The north magnetic pole(磁極)is no longer a resident of Canada.It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia.

Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole—the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis(地軸),the north magnetic pole(where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward)is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field,a process that originates about 3000 kilometers below our feet,in the outer core(核心)of the planet.But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace.

Over the past century,the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year,says Larry Newitt,head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa.Since the 1970s,this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year.

Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing,says Newitt.One hypothesis(假說)relates it to “magnetic jerks”,sudden shifts(變化)in the rate of change of the magnetic field.There have been three jerks in the past four decades,each one correlating to an increases in speed.

If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate,it could reach Siberia by 2056.

“For most of recorded history,the pole has been a part of Canada,and now it’s not,”says Newitt.“It may be a blow to our collective psyche,but other than that,it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence.”

73.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “angling”.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)73-75題的具體要求，簡要回答問題。

Shanghai is the largest city in China. About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai and its suburbs. This extremely large city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north of here. Large oceangoing ships travel to Shanghai by way of the Yangtze and the Huang Pu.

Shanghai was a small, unimportant city until 1842 when China lost a war with Great Britain. The British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely（密集） populated Yangtze River Plain. They forced the Chinese to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the city walls. Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai. The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings. Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs. Most of them settled in the old part of the city. As time passed, shanghai became one of the busiest seaports in the world.
