四、阅读理解

Antarctica doesn’t seem very inviting,but about 37,000 visitors are expected to go on a trip to the frozen continent during this tourist season.

If you decide to go there,you’ll need to think about timing.Ice,wind and low temperatures make a trip to Antarctica an impossibility outside of November through March.You’ll also have to consider the almost prohibitive cost of your ship ticket—from about US$3,500 to US$25,000.This doesn’t cover airfare to your port of departure.

Deciding what kind of boat on which to travel will make all the difference as accommodations vary greatly from one to the next.Large cruises,which might carry from 500 to 30,000 passengers,are good for vacationers and learners,but they never dock at a port.Smaller ships,such as yachts(快艇) and dive boats,allow you on the continent,and their staff plan various physical activities for visitors.

Those who actually get their feet on the ground will be privileged to have a very unique experience,including many educational opportunities.Tours of active scientific research facilities manned by biologists are often available.Visitors are also able to see various penguins and seals,some of which are brave enough to get up close.Finally,a few adventurous ones will enjoy mountaineering and diving during their time on the icy land.

Another consideration that must be made when visiting Antarctica is one’s environmental footprint.Every tourist,guide,researcher and ship makes an impact on this faraway part of our Earth.Precautions(预防措施) such as time limits on land,keeping a 5-metre distance from animals and rules against taking or leaving anything on the continent are strictly kept.Some wonder if it’s better for people just to stay away from Antarctica if they are so likely to affect the land negatively.But most will say that seeing Antarctica helps make the world more aware of the part this beautiful location plays in the global environment.

1.Which month is appropriate for a tour of Antarctica?

A.February.　　　　　　　

B.June.

C.July. 

D.October.

答案:A

2.What does the underlined word “prohibitive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Common. 

B.Additional.

C.Reasonable. 

D.Unaffordable.

答案:D

解析:词义猜测题。根据画线单词后的fromaboutUS$3,500toUS$25,000可知,去南极的船票很昂贵,所以prohibitive在此处意为“贵得买不起的”。故选D项。

3.What can we learn about passengers on large ships?

A.They are on board throughout the trip.

B.They can enjoy various physical activities.

C.They can get very close to local animals.

D.They have a chance to land on the continent.

4.What do most people think of the trips to Antarctica?

A.Dangerous. 

B.Economical.

C.Educational. 

D.Destructive.

答案:C

解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Thosewhoactuallygettheirfeetonthegroundwillbeprivilegedtohaveaveryuniqueexperience,includingmanyeducationalopportunities.”及最后一段中的“ButmostwillsaythatseeingAntarcticahelpsmaketheworldmoreawareof...”可知,大多数人认为去南极旅行会很有教育意义。故选C项。

In all,he had made calls at over 30 countries and territories.　4　 No matter what country he visited,he called on the ruler of the land,presenting to him valuable gifts to express China’s sincere desire to develop friendly relations.　5　 They sent the emperor zebras,giraffes,shells,elephant ivory and rhinoceros-horn medicine. 

The voyages by Zheng He strengthened the friendly relations between China and other countries in Asia and Africa and led to cultural and economic exchange between them.Therefore,his expeditions could rightfully be called “one of the greatest achievements in mankind’s history of navigation”.

B.The response of the rulers was very generous.

C.On board the ships were large quantities of goods.
