Question

【題目】

At the beginning of November, the 35th Chinese Antarctic expedition (南極科考隊(duì)) set off for the polar region. This time, one of their main tasks is to build China’s first permanent (永久的) Antarctic airport, Science and Technology Daily reported.

There are more than 20 airports in Antarctica, according to Global Times. But none of them belong to China. China’s polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at Russian airports.

The new airport will help Chinese aircraft take off and land in the South Pole. This will make it easier to transport scientific equipment and do research, Zhang Xia from the Polar Research Institute of China told Global Times.

In order to be environmentally friendly, the airport will be small, said Sun Bo, leader of the research team. It is much smaller than the usual airports in our cities.

However, this doesn’t make it easy to build the airport.

The site of the airport is an ice cap 28 kilometers away from Zhongshan Antarctic Station, Xinhua noted. An ice cap is a thick layer (層) of ice. It covers the land like a quilt. But this “quilt” is always moving Scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap. You can hardly notice the movement of the ice in this area.

The next problem is the snow. The snow on the ice cap can be very thick. Also, it is as soft as cotton, which makes it hard to build a runway for airplanes. Scientists have to use a snow blower (吹雪機(jī)) to get rid of the snow on top of the cap. Them, they compact (壓緊) the rest of the snow with a road roller-like machine. This way, the snow will be strong and hard enough to build a runway on top of.

【1】What is the main task of the 35th Chinese Antarctic expedition?

【2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A.Why we need to explore Antarctica.

B.Where China’s polar planes take off and land.

C.What the new airport in Antarctica can do.

D.How other countries build their own airports.

【3】The difficulties of building a polar airport include all of the following EXCEPT ________.

A.the weather changes very oftenB.the snow on the ice cap is thick

C.the snow on the ice cap is softD.the ice cap is always moving

【4】What do scientists use a snow blower to do?

A.To make the ice cap stop moving.B.To clear the snow on the ice cap.

C.To compact the snow on the ice cap.D.To wash the runway for airplanes

【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.China’s polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at American airports.

B.The airport built in Antarctic is the same size as the usual airports in our cities.

C.To build the airport, scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap.

D.The snow on the ice cap is so thick that it makes building a runway much easier.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】

本文講述了中國(guó)第三十五次南極考察隊(duì)的主要任務(wù)是在南極建立飛機(jī)場(chǎng)。建立新機(jī)場(chǎng)有很多好處，但是在南極建立飛機(jī)場(chǎng)有很多困難。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)This time, one of their main tasks is to build China’s first permanent (永久的) Antarctic airport, Science and Technology Daily reported.可知，中國(guó)第三十五次南極考察隊(duì)的主要任務(wù)是在南極建立飛機(jī)場(chǎng)，故選D。

【2】概括歸納題。根據(jù)The new airport will help Chinese aircraft take off and land in the South Pole.“新機(jī)場(chǎng)將幫助中國(guó)飛機(jī)在南極起降。”可知，第三段主要介紹了新機(jī)場(chǎng)的用途，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)But this “quilt” is always moving可知，冰蓋總是移動(dòng)，因此D項(xiàng)包括在內(nèi)。根據(jù)The snow on the ice cap can be very thick. Also, it is as soft as cotton, which makes it hard to build a runway for airplanes.可知，冰蓋上的雪可能很厚，非常柔軟，這使得它很難為飛機(jī)建造跑道。因此BC兩項(xiàng)包括在內(nèi)。因此文中沒(méi)有提到那里的天氣變化非常頻繁，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Scientists have to use a snow blower (吹雪機(jī)) to get rid of the snow on top of the cap.可知，科學(xué)家們使用吹雪機(jī)，除去雪蓋頂部的雪。故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)China’s polar plane Xueying 601 has to take off and land at Russian airports.可知，中國(guó)的極地飛機(jī)雪鷹601必須在俄羅斯機(jī)場(chǎng)起飛和降落，而不是在美國(guó)機(jī)場(chǎng)，因此A項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)It is much smaller than the usual airports in our cities.可知，在南極建立的飛機(jī)場(chǎng)比我們平常的機(jī)場(chǎng)小，因此B項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)Scientists have to find the slowest-moving part of the cap.可知，為了建造飛機(jī)場(chǎng)，科學(xué)家們必須找到移動(dòng)最緩慢的部分。因此C項(xiàng)是正確的。根據(jù)The snow on the ice cap can be very thick. Also, it is as soft as cotton, which makes it hard to build a runway for airplanes.可知，冰蓋上的雪很厚，所以很難為飛機(jī)建造跑道。因此D項(xiàng)是不正確的。故選C。

認(rèn)真閱讀題干，根據(jù)題干要求，在文中尋找答案所在的語(yǔ)句或段落，進(jìn)行分析理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和概括歸納，選出正確的選項(xiàng)。例如小題1，根據(jù)This time, one of their main tasks is to build China’s first permanent (永久的) Antarctic airport, Science and Technology Daily reported.可知，中國(guó)第三十五次南極考察隊(duì)的主要任務(wù)是在南極建立飛機(jī)場(chǎng)，故選D。
