Today, over six billion people live on the planet. This means that there are very few places on Earth with no people. One place that has very few people is at the bottom of the Earth. In Antarctica, the icy continent surrounding the South Pole, you will not find anyone who lives there all the time.
First, Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. For example, it can be –l30℃ in the winter. Humans cannot live in this kind of environment. Because it is so cold, very few plants or animals live there. This means there are no farms and no places to find wild plants or animals to eat.
Second, Antarctica can be dangerous. Many people think that it is safe to travel to Antarctica in the summer months when it is warmer. However, Antarctica is mostly ice, so when it’s summer, the ice melts. When the ice melts, the ice can break. So, people cannot travel around Antarctica during the summer. If the ice breaks, they could fall into the water and die.
Another serious problem in Antarctica is the sun. Because Antarctica is mostly ice, there are no trees so there is no shade. Also, the ground is mostly white ice so the sun bounces off (反射) it. The light from the sky and the light from the ground can burn people’s skin and hurt their eyes. People must be very careful in this situation. For example, they must wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. They must also cover their hands and faces all the time.
Although Antarctica is a tough place to live, explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swam (沼澤) and forests.
【小題1】This text is mainly about _____.
| A．the discovery of Antarctica |
| B．how people travel around Antarctica |
| C．different animals found in Antarctica |
| D．why it is difficult to live in Antarctica |
| A．Antarctica is a place with no animals |
| B．no people can survive in Antarctica |
| C．Antarctica is colder than any other continent on Earth |
| D．the temperature in Antarctica is below zero all the time |
| A．In spring. | B．In summer. | C．In autumn. | D．In winter. |

As for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.
When to go?
While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮濕)， are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.
Where to stay?
The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪華的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals(間歇)，wasting more time in transport. You’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.
What to do?
Make use of the “Fast Pass” , which , for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. You’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.
1.Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________
A．can get discounts on tickets
B．will have a well-planned ride time
C．will often be checked at the exit
D．have to pay more for their tickets
2.If you have referred to the map of the park, you ________
A．a(chǎn)re sure to save time
B．will get the lowest-priced tickets
C．can learn the park’s location
D．may have your lost tickets replaced
3.The underlined word “this” in the text probably refers to the fact that ________
A．there are more visitors at that time
B．a(chǎn)nimals are active at that time
C．the Animal Kingdom attracts fewer visitors
D．Fast Pass benefits visitors a lot
4.It can be learned from Part 2 that _________
A．every visitor will have a rental car for free
B．a(chǎn)ll the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors.
C．three typed of resort pricing are offered by Disney World
D．Young couples are advised to take the Magic Your Way Package
