阅读理解

    In the most southern part of our planet, there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.

    As the world's least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.

    Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen food which can be heated easily is people's daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather.

    Sleep is also difficult. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create "night".

    Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. They can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.

    What's morel communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.

    Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists' passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.

(1)、From Paragraph 1, we learn that Antarctica_______.

A、is covered with snow and ice B、rains heavily from time to time C、has little wind most of the time D、has sunshine during every night
(2)、Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _______.

A、find out ways to control water pollution B、research climate change and marine biology C、grow plants and vegetables in special condition D、stop the hunters from killing the marine life
(3)、In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _______.

A、wear more clothes to keep warm B、cover the windows with black cloth C、connect research stations with ropes D、eat more fried and canned vegetables
(4)、We can replace (替换) the underlined word "passion" in the last paragraph with _____.

A、strong love B、full preparation C、pleasant introduction D、amazing imagination
(5)、The passage is mainly about

A、views of Antarctica B、exploring(探索) Antarctica C、how to survive in Antarctica D、climate changes of Antarctica
举一反三

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

    In August, is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States, People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

    Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a "good weather" for health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy may be the weather's problem today?
