4.If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment,then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.With the average temperature for January standing at-50C,it is no wonder the village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the'Pole of Cold',the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon was-71.2C,which is the lowest recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth.
Ironically,Oymyakon actually means'non-freezing water due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes-in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horse meat.A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders,
hunters and ice-fisherman.
The village is located around 750metres above sea level and the length of a day varies from 3hours in December t0 21hours in the summer.And despite its terrible winters,in June,July and August temperatures over 30c are not uncommon.
There are few modern conveniences in the village-with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular,the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases,the town shuts down in about five hours,and the pipes freeze and crack.
Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing,glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.
Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception,the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies,which can take anything up to three days.

解答 CBA
64.C 事实细节题.根据课文第三段第一句"Ironically,Oymyakon actually means"non-freezing water"due to a nearby hot spring."具有反讽意味的是,由于靠近一处温泉,奥伊米亚康这一名字的实际意思竟是"不冻之水".可知C项正确.A项中的"coldest location"与文中的"coldest inhabited settlement"是两个不同的概念.
65.B 细节理解题.结合第七段中的"batteries losing power"和第八段的内容可知,由于天气极其寒冷,电池没有电,移动电话根本使用不了.故选B项.
66.A 推理判断题.依据文章可推断,由于极其寒冷,当地人会遇到各种日常问题. 故选A项.
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
