阅读理解

    At the beginning of November, the 35th Chinese Antarctic expedition (南极科考队) set off for the polar region. This time, one of their main tasks is to build China's first permanent (永久的) Antarctic airport, Science and Technology Daily reported.

    There are more than 20 airports in Antarctica, according to Global Times. But none of them belong to China. China's polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at Russian airports.

    The new airport will help Chinese aircraft take off and land in the South Pole. This will make it easier to transport scientific equipment and do research, Zhang Xia from the Polar Research Institute of China told Global Times.

    In order to be environmentally friendly, the airport will be small, said Sun Bo, leader of the research team. It is much smaller than the usual airports in our cities.

    However, this doesn't make it easy to build the airport.

    The site of the airport is an ice cap 28 kilometers away from Zhongshan Antarctic Station, Xinhua noted. An ice cap is a thick layer (层) of ice. It covers the land like a quilt. But this "quilt" is always moving Scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap. You can hardly notice the movement of the ice in this area.

    The next problem is the snow. The snow on the ice cap can be very thick. Also, it is as soft as cotton, which makes it hard to build a runway for airplanes. Scientists have to use a snow blower (吹雪机) to get rid of the snow on top of the cap. Them, they compact (压紧) the rest of the snow with a road roller-like machine. This way, the snow will be strong and hard enough to build a runway on top of.

(1)、What is the main task of the 35th Chinese Antarctic expedition?
A、Transport scientific equipment. B、Do research. C、Set up a research station. D、Build an airport.
(2)、What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A、Why we need to explore Antarctica. B、Where China's polar planes take off and land. C、What the new airport in Antarctica can do. D、How other countries build their own airports.
(3)、The difficulties of building a polar airport include all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A、the weather changes very often B、the snow on the ice cap is thick C、the snow on the ice cap is soft D、the ice cap is always moving
(4)、What do scientists use a snow blower to do?
A、To make the ice cap stop moving. B、To clear the snow on the ice cap. C、To compact the snow on the ice cap. D、To wash the runway for airplanes.
(5)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A、China's polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at American airports. B、The airport built in Antarctic is the same size as the usual airports in our cities. C、To build the airport, scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap. D、The snow on the ice cap is so thick that it makes building a runway much easier.

 Hi! I'm the Beijing- Zhangjiakou railway. I've felt happy recently because a new high- speed railway now links(连接) the two cities. Do you want to know my story?I was born in 1909. I'm 115years old now. The one who made me was Zhan Tianyou. He was a brave and smart man. He believed China should build its own railways without other countries' help. So he built me,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
