Question

【题目】 Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is a page from her.

Tuesday December 2

We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on 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 the whole day.

Wednesday December 3

After waking up in the Antarctica for the first time today, I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!

Thursday December 4

I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctica. I’m told 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 before we're 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 amazing thing about this place is how the scenery 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 yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully.

【解析】

本文以日记的形式记录了Lisa一行人在南极的所见所感。

【1】细节理解题。根据Saturday December 6中的Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).可知星期六他们能够穿一件夹克站在外面。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.可知因此南极是地球上风最大的地方，有时根本不能飞。因此是风大一直在阻止我们飞往Rothera。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。leave离开；change改变；guard守卫；watch观察。此句中不定式to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.“去其他站点或到附近山上滑雪。”作目的状语，因此可推断从基地出去到其他站点或者滑雪。因此go off意思为“出去；走开”，与leave意思相似。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据After waking up in the Antarctica for the first time today, I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.可知在南极第一天我就明白了为什么很多人爱上了这个地方。以及The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day.可知这个地方最让人吃惊的是每天风景都在变化。根据这两篇日记中我对这里景色的喜爱可推测我对南极景色和变化感到“吃惊”。故选C。

【5】推理判断题。根据The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day. 可知这个地方最让人吃惊的是每天风景都在变化。可推断最让人吃惊的事会给Lisa更深的印象。故选D。

【6】推理判断题。根据文章的格式每一部分右上角标注日期，并且内容上记录了每天的事可推测这是作者的日记。故选B。
