The Sahara Desert, covering most of North Africa, is the largest desert in the world. From north to south the Sahara is between 800 and 1,200 miles and is at least 3,000 miles from east to west. On the west of the Sahara Desert is the Atlantic Ocean and on the east is the Red Sea, and to the north are the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Over 25% of the Sahara Desert is covered by sand and dunes（沙丘）.

Now there are still many kinds of plants in the Sahara Desert, like grass, shrubs（灌木丛）and trees. In the Sahara Desert, people can find some kinds of animals, like hares, deer and foxes. The Sahara Desert also has over 300 kinds of birds.

There are only a small number of people living in the Sahara Desert. Because of the bad weather in the desert, they often move from one place to another.

2.What is on the east of the Sahara Desert?

3.What did the Sahara Desert use to be?

4.Are there plants and animals in the Sahara Desert?

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?

________________________________________________________________

There is water in some places in the desert. We call these places oases (绿州).Sometimes the water comes from under the ground and sometimes it comes from rivers running through the desert. In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow all kinds of crops in the fields there.

People also live outside the oases, but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, sheep and other animals. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.
