Question

【题目】Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)

Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is what she wrote about the trip.

Tuesday December 2 We planned to go to Rothera (罗瑟拉站) that morning. We would stay there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on the earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all. We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather. It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly.

Wednesday December 3 After waking up in Antarctica for the first time, I can understand why everybody who comes here loves the place. It is really beautiful. We are staying at Rothera Survey Base (基地) with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today. It is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirt.

Thursday December 4 I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here. It’s a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course (课程) before we are allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Saturday December 6 Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket). The most wonderful thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there every day.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly and thankfully.

【1】A

【3】A

【4】D

【5】B

【6】B

【解析】

文章讲述的主要是作者在南极旅游的日记。记述了一些在南极发生的事情，首先是因为恶劣的天气状况，使得他们在Stanley滞留了很多天，之后就去了南极洲，到了这里之后发现这里的景色很美，并且每天的景色看起来都不一样，作者感到很震惊。

【1】推理判断题。文中提到“People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.”人们必须呆在Stanley，因为飞行员在等一个好天气，前文又提到“Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth…”南极洲是世界上刮风最严重的地方，由此推测应该是大风天气使得他们无法起飞。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据Thursday December 4中“Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course (课程) before we are allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.”可知我们是在12月4日周四当天接受的特殊培训课程。故选C。

【3】词义推断题。根据画线部分后面“…to other stations…”可知我们是要去其他的基地，因此go off表示“离开”。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。文中提到“The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day. ”在南极的这几天最令人惊讶的是每天的风景都不一样，因此可推测最让人印象深刻的就是风景每天都在变。故选D。

【5】细节理解题。根据“We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We would stay there for the next two weeks.”可知他们要在罗瑟拉站待上2周因此A选项是正确的；根据“It is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirt.”可知这里常来的人会穿着T恤在四周走，并没有提到基地的人穿厚厚的衣服，因此B选项是错误的；根据“Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course (课程) before we are allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.”可知他们完成特殊的培训课程时候才能去滑雪，因此C选项是正确的；根据“At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, ‘I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there every day.’”可知起初Lisa并不知道冰山能够移动，因此D选项是正确的。故选B。

【6】推理判断题。根据本文格式，每天都有记录日期，以及当天的事情，可推测这是作者的日记。故选B。
