Antarctica(南极洲）is the coldest place on the earth, but every year thousands of tourists go there. Why do they go? There are no famous buildings, no hotels and no restaurants. There are some beaches, but nobody wants to go swimming. Why do people want to take a vacation in Antarctica?

Most people go to see the birds, the animals and the amazing scenery. There are seals(海豹）lying on the ice. There are whales swimming in the ocean. You can also watch penguins jumping into water from icebergs(冰山). It’s one of the last untouched places on the planet.

It’s possible to visit Antarctica by plane, but most people go there by ship. That’s because the ships are comfortable places to stay, and the journey (by sea) is part of the vacation. All tourists visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter it’s too cold for visitors, but in the summer—from November to March—it’s warmer than many people think. In some parts of Antarctica in January, it’s about 0℃. So it can be warmer there than it is in Beijing in January. When you visit there, you don’t need to bring a lot of special clothes. Instead, you need to bring sunglasses. The sunshine on the snow and ice is very bright.

Tourists are not the only people who go to Antarctica. In the summer months there are about 4,000 scientists and other people living and working there, and a few of them stay for the long, drink winters. Tourists can visit some of these people and learn about their work in this amazing place.

C)阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答所提问题。

In September 1991, two German tourists were on holiday in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉). One day, they were walking along a road when they saw something in the ice. They stopped and looked. It was part of a body. They thought it was a climber, but they were wrong. This body was over 5300 years old. It was a man from the Stone Age (石器时代).

Ötzi, as the archaeologists (考古学家) called him, lived between 3350 BC and 3100 BC. He came from northern Italy and he was about forty-six years old. He was about 1.6 meters tall, and he had blue eyes and long, dark brown hair. We know that he was a farmer because scientists found pieces of corn in his clothes.

He changed our ideas about the Stone Age. Before Ötzi, archaeologists thought that copper (铜) didn't arrive in Europe until 2000 BC. However, Ötzi was carrying a copper ax (斧头) 1, 300 years earlier. He was also carrying a knife and some wooden tools. He was wearing warm clothes. These things show that Stone Age people were more amazing than we had thought.

1.How old was the body that the two German tourists found in the ice?

_________________________________________________________________________

2.Ötzi was about sixty years old when he died, wasn't he?

________________________________________________________________________

3.What was Ötzi's height?

4.Why was Ötzi thought to be a farmer?

_________________________________________________________________________

5.What was Ötzi carrying when he died?

Antarctica (南极洲) is the fifth largest continent on Earth. It is also the coldest, windiest, driest and highest. It is an ice-covered place where no large plants grow, and no land animals live there. Antarctica covers an area of more than 13.6 million square kilometres. It is nearly twice the size of Australia, or one-and-a-half times the size of the United States of America.

Antarctica does not belong to one country, and it has no government. People visit Antarctica – usually as tourists, or to do scientific research – but no one lives there all the time.

Antarctica was the last place to be discovered. It is not certain who first saw Antarctica, but sailors began to map Antarctica’s coast from their ships in the 1800s. The first proved landing was in the mid-1890s.

Over the next few years, several men tried but failed to reach the South Pole, which is the Earth’s southernmost point.

Finally, a team led by Norwegian Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911. By then, countries around the world were becoming more and more interested in the frozen place, and soon Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom had laid claim（声称）to parts of Antarctica.

As so many nations had made a claim to govern in Antarctica, it was clear that fighting might break out. Diplomats(外交官) from different countries wanted to stop a war from starting, so they began talking about a treaty for Antarctica. A treaty is a written agreement signed by two or more nations.

Several countries had already set up research stations in Antarctica where scientists could live and work. Most scientists worked during the summer months when it was not as cold as in winter. Scientists hoped a treaty would allow them to continue their work and to exchange information with scientists from other countries.

Answer the following questions. (No more than six words)

1.What’s the area of Antarctica?

________________________________________________________________

2.When did sailors begin to map Antarctica’s coast from their ships?

________________________________________________________________

3.What do we call the Earth’s northernmost point?

4.How many nations had laid claim to parts of Antarctica?

_______________________________________________________________

5.Why did diplomats from different countries begin talking about a treaty for Antarctica?

The first people who drank tea were the Chinese, because the bush grew wild all over the south of China. They liked the taste, and found that the drink could refresh(使精力恢复) them.

People living in Europe first learned about tea growing and drinking from a book printed in Italy in 1599. The writer said that tea was a wonderful medicine. Although people in Europe knew about tea in 1599, it was another fifty years before the first tea from China reached Holland.

A few years later, tea was brought overland from China to Russia. The long difficult journey was made over mountains and across deserts.

Apps are taking the place of teachers as technology plays a bigger role in language education.

Ma Ruining has been studying English for a long time, but her teachers are not in the classroom — they’re in the palms(手掌) of her hands. Ma has several English learning apps. They are often for users who want to improve their English, from listening to speaking.

Although she’s tired from eight hours’ office work, she does not spend her free time just relaxing by watching TV dramas as she did before.

She takes out her mobile phone and begins to practice her spoken English with an app called Liulishuo (“speaking fluently” in English), which offers ways to people looking to improve their spoken English.

A 10-second audio clip(音频) by native speakers is then played on the app as Ma starts her lesson. After that, the app asks her to imitate(模仿) the piece. The app then scores her performance on a scale (数值范围) from 1 to 100 and gives advice on how to make improvements.

“If you score more than 90, it means your pronunciation is good,” says Ma, who has been practicing English every day on the phone for the past six months.

“At first, I usually only get a score of 70 as I often mispronounce,” adds Ma, 26. “I graduated two years ago, but I wanted to improve my spoken English to study or travel abroad some day in the future.”

English learning apps make it convenient for people to study English. So what English learning apps are you using now?

1.According to the passage, who often uses English learning apps?

__________________________________________________________

2.How did Ma Ruining spend her free time relaxing?

__________________________________________________________

3.Will the app called Liulishuo provide users with suggestions?

__________________________________________________________

4.How often does Ma practice English on the phone?

__________________________________________________________

5.Why did Ma want to improve her spoken English?

The sun is always shining. But it can only shine on one side of the earth at one time. When the sun is shining on one side of the earth, it is night on the other side. At night, you can see the stars. The stars are in the sky all day. But the light from the sun is so bright that you can’t see them. When night comes, there is no light, and the stars are bright enough to see. The stars look very small. But some of them are even bigger than the sun. They look small because they are so far away from you. Big things look much smaller when they are far away. The sun is closer to the earth than other stars, so it looks bigger.

1.Can the sun shine on only one side or two sides of the earth at one time?

2.Are the stars in the sky all day?

3.When are the stars bright enough to see?

4.How do big things look when they are far away?
