Ⅵ.阅读理解

Antarctica is in the most southern part of the world. It is like nowhere else on the earth. It is much larger than Europe，and nearly twice the size of Australia. The South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place in the world, even colder and winder than the North Pole. In the summer, the sun shines for twentyfour hours a day, but in the winter it's completely dark for about three months. Very few plants grow there, but there is some wildlife, including whales, seals, and penguins.

When Captain James Cook travelled around Antarctica in the 1770s by ship, he found no one living there. Today, a few scientists work in Antarctica, but they only spend fairly short time there. Many scientists in Antarctica are studying the ozone layer. The ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner worldwide. The biggest “hole” is over America, and the weather there is getting warmer. Scientists think that this cold and lonely place can teach us a lot about the earth and how to keep it safe.

1．What's the weather like in Antarctica?

A．It is cold and cloudy.

B．It is sunny and windy.

C．It is rainy and hot.

D．It is cold and windy.

2．From the text we can guess that whales, seals and penguins are ________.

A．animals 

B．plants

C．pets 

D．fish

3．Who lived in Antarctica in the 1770s?

A．James Cook. 

B．Nobody.

C．A Captain. 

D．Many a scientists.
