About 500 people live in Oymyakon and it is common for this village to go over 200 days with temperatures below(在……以下) 0℃. Oymyakon is in the Yakutia region(地区) in Russia and is known as the coldest human settlement(定居点) on the earth.
The village’s lowest temperature was recorded at the Oymyakon weather station and reached -67.7℃ in 1933. It is over 20 degrees warmer than the coldest temperature ever recorded on the earth at ground level, and it reaches -89.2℃ at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica(南极洲) in July, 1983.
Average temperatures are around -50℃ in the winter months and Oymyakon has never recorded a temperature above 0℃ between October 25 and March 17. This region is extremely(极端) cold because the arctic air is always sitting over top of it. Warm ocean temperatures or daylight heating don’t influence(影响) the region.
The village is closer to the Arctic Circle than it is to the nearest city. Schools will be open if temperatures stay above -52℃. It is common for temperatures to drop below freezing in late September and stay below freezing until mid -April. Although there are long cold winters, Oymyakon experiences mild and sometimes hot summers. July is the village’s warmest month with average temperature of 18.7℃ and has a record high of 34.6℃.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报).
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints( 关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
36．Which is true about weather forecasting
A．Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B．Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C．Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
D．People can change the weather forecasting.
37．Which of the following can be used here to replace (取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”
A．away. B．gone. C．coming. D．disappearing.
38．When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be ________.
A．clear and fine B．warm C．rainy D．cold
39．Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy
A．Some birds fly high. B．A rainbow appears in the morning.
C．The sunset is mostly red in colour. D．Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
40．We must ________ to make weather forecasting.
A．use our eyes and brains B．study the weather hard
C．read correctly the signs D．All of the above
D
The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake. The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snow falls each year. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.
The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报).
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints( 关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
36．Which is true about weather forecasting
A．Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B．Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C．Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
D．People can change the weather forecasting.
37．Which of the following can be used here to replace (取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”
A．away. B．gone. C．coming. D．disappearing.
38．When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be ________.
A．clear and fine B．warm C．rainy D．cold
39．Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy
A．Some birds fly high. B．A rainbow appears in the morning.
C．The sunset is mostly red in colour. D．Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
40．We must ________ to make weather forecasting.
A．use our eyes and brains B．study the weather hard
C．read correctly the signs D．All of the above
【答案】36．A 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了没有人能改变天气。没有人能够控制天气。但是如果我们读懂我们周围有关天气的情况，我们就可以知道天气的变化。许多世纪以来，许多国家的人们都在研究天气情况。短文例举了许多相关的实例。
36．细节理解题。根据“This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报).”可知，天气预报是一种预测天气状况的方法。故选A。
37．词义猜测题。根据“but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way”可知，但如果下雨或暴风雨天气即将来临，鸟儿就会在地面附近飞行，所以划线部分与coming同义，故选C。
38．推理判断题。根据“If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.”可知，如果星星在晚上闪烁，那么好天气将继续。故选A。
39．细节理解题。根据“If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.”可知，如果早上出现彩虹，就可能会下雨，故选B。
40．细节理解题。根据“Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.”可知，要预报天气，我们必须使用眼睛和大脑努力研究天气，认真阅读天象，故选D。

The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake. The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snow falls each year. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.
The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.
41．The Antarctic is called a desert because it ________.
A．is sandy B．has the same temperature as a desert
C．has little rain and no lakes or rivers D．has no water resource
42．The Antarctic has ________.
A．ten times as much rain as the Sahara
B．the same amount of rain as the Sahara
C．about one-tenth the rain of the Sahara
D．less than one fifth the rain of the Sahara
43．The snow in the Antarctic is very deep because it ________.
A．never stops falling B．piles up year after year
C．never melts D．both B and C
44．The snow turns to ice when ________.
A．it gets wet B．the temperature gets colder
C．the next snowfalls comes D．the snow above it is heavy enough
45．The best title for the section is ________.
A．a strange continent B．the Antarctic—an ice desert
C．snowfall at the south pole D．the world’s greatest desert
【答案】41．C 42．A 43．D 44．D 45．B
【导语】本文介绍了南极洲的气候。
41．推理判断题。根据“The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake.”可知说南极洲是沙漠的原因是，它是世界上唯一一个没有河和湖的大陆，沙漠也是降雨量小，没有河流湖泊。故选C。
42．细节理解题。根据“But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.”可知南极洲每年降雪不足10英寸，也就是不足半英寸的水，是撒哈拉部分地区降雨量的十倍。故选A。
43．细节理解题。根据“The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century.”可知南极洲的雪很深，是因为雪从不融化，每年都会更厚。故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据“When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.”可知当雪到了80英尺时，雪的重量就会把雪变成冰。故选D。
45．最佳标题。根据“The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）.”可知开头引出主题，本文主要介绍了南极洲的气候。故选B。

【导语】本文主要描述了作者雪后和小朋友们一起堆雪人和打雪仗的趣事。
51．句意：下雪的时候，我们的花园在雪下看起来很美，在雪中玩耍也很好。look“看起来”，动词。根据“When it snows”可知本句时态是一般现在时，主语“our garden”是第三人称单数，动词需用三单形式。故填looks。
52．句意：下雪的时候，我们的花园在雪下看起来很美，在雪中玩耍也很好。play“玩”，动词。固定句型it’s good to do sth.“做某事很好的”，此处动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to play。
53．句意：雪下得太多了。根据“It was snowy.”可知本句是一般过去时，动词需用过去式。there be结构遵循就近原则，“too much snow”是不可数名词，be动词需用was。故填was。
54．句意：那天是星期天，所以我们没去上学。根据“we didn’t go to school.”可知，我们没有去上学是因为那天是星期天。前因后果，需用连词so“因此”。故填so。
55．句意：早餐后，我的一些朋友过来了，我们堆了一个很大的雪人。friend“朋友”，名词。根据“some of my...came over, and we made a very big snowman.”可知，此处是指我的一些朋友，名词需用复数形式。故填friends。
56．句意：我们把雪人命名为“泰坦”。此处是特指上文的雪人，需用定冠词the，the snowman“这个雪人”。故填the。
57．句意：有人把一顶旧帽子戴在它头上。it“它”，主格或宾格。空后有名词“head”，此处需用形容词性物主代词its“它的”来修饰。故填its。
58．句意：我给我们的雪人拍了很多照片。photo“照片”，可数名词。空前lots of“许多”，其后跟名词复数或者不可数名词。photo的复数为photos。故填photos。
59．句意：又开始下雪了，雪下得很大。heavy“重的”，形容词。空前有动词“snowed”，其后需用副词修饰。heavy的副词形式为heavily“大量地”。故填heavily。
60．句意：在公园里，我们遇到了不少来自我们学校的男孩，我们用雪球打了一场雪仗。with表示“用……”。故填with。
六、完成句子
61．她没有健康的生活方式，并且从来不运动。
She doesn’t have a ________ ________ and she ________ ________.
【答案】 healthy lifestyle never exercises
【详解】healthy“健康的”，形容词作定语；lifestyle“生活方式”，a修饰名词的单数形式；never“从不”，exercise“锻炼”，实义动词，此句是一般现在时，主语she是第三人称单数形式，动词用三单，故填healthy；lifestyle；never；exercises。
62．看！农民正在田地里收割庄稼。
Look! ____________________________________ in the field.
【答案】The farmers are harvesting the crops
【详解】“农民”：farmers，此处指田地里的农民，所以前面需要加定冠词the；“收割庄稼”：harvest the crops。根据“Look!”可知，此句为现在进行时，其结构为“be+doing”，主语farmers为复数，所以be动词用are。故填The farmers are harvesting the crops。
63．我将永远不会忘记那些夏日甜美的回忆。
I will never forget _________________________.
【答案】those sweet memories of summer days
【详解】“那些”those；“甜美的回忆”sweet memories；“夏日”summer days。sweet memories与summer days为所属关系，用of连接。故填those sweet memories of summer days。
64．昨天，气温突然降到零度以下。
Yesterday _____________________________.
【答案】the temperature suddenly dropped below zero
【详解】“气温”：temperature，此题中指昨天的气温，所以气温前加定冠词the；“下降”：drop；“突然”：suddenly，副词修饰动词，放在动词之前；“零度以下”：below zero。根据“Yesterday”可知，本句时态为一般过去时，所以动词需用过去式。故填the temperature suddenly dropped below zero。
65．秋天来临时，树叶枯黄，成堆地落在地面上。
When autumn comes, the ________ turn brown and _________ ________ ________ upon the ground.
【答案】 leaves fall into piles
【详解】根据中英文对比可知，树叶“leaf”，根据谓语动词“turn”可知，这里是名词复数，leaf复数是leaves；fall into piles“成堆落下”，and连接两个并列谓语，因此这里谓语是原形，故填leaves；fall；into；piles。

The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake. The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snow falls each year. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.
The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报).
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints( 关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
36．Which is true about weather forecasting
A．Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B．Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C．Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
D．People can change the weather forecasting.
37．Which of the following can be used here to replace (取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”
A．away. B．gone. C．coming. D．disappearing.
38．When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be ________.
A．clear and fine B．warm C．rainy D．cold
39．Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy
A．Some birds fly high. B．A rainbow appears in the morning.
C．The sunset is mostly red in colour. D．Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
40．We must ________ to make weather forecasting.
A．use our eyes and brains B．study the weather hard
C．read correctly the signs D．All of the above
【答案】36．A 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了没有人能改变天气。没有人能够控制天气。但是如果我们读懂我们周围有关天气的情况，我们就可以知道天气的变化。许多世纪以来，许多国家的人们都在研究天气情况。短文例举了许多相关的实例。
36．细节理解题。根据“This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting (天气预报).”可知，天气预报是一种预测天气状况的方法。故选A。
37．词义猜测题。根据“but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way”可知，但如果下雨或暴风雨天气即将来临，鸟儿就会在地面附近飞行，所以划线部分与coming同义，故选C。
38．推理判断题。根据“If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.”可知，如果星星在晚上闪烁，那么好天气将继续。故选A。
39．细节理解题。根据“If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.”可知，如果早上出现彩虹，就可能会下雨，故选B。
40．细节理解题。根据“Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.”可知，要预报天气，我们必须使用眼睛和大脑努力研究天气，认真阅读天象，故选D。

The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake. The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snow falls each year. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.
The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.
41．The Antarctic is called a desert because it ________.
A．is sandy B．has the same temperature as a desert
C．has little rain and no lakes or rivers D．has no water resource
42．The Antarctic has ________.
A．ten times as much rain as the Sahara

【导语】本文介绍了南极洲的气候。
41．推理判断题。根据“The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）. It is the only continent（大陆） on the earth without a river or a lake.”可知说南极洲是沙漠的原因是，它是世界上唯一一个没有河和湖的大陆，沙漠也是降雨量小，没有河流湖泊。故选C。
42．细节理解题。根据“But less than ten inches of snow falls each year, that is less than half an inch of water, ten times that much rain falls in parts of the Sahara.”可知南极洲每年降雪不足10英寸，也就是不足半英寸的水，是撒哈拉部分地区降雨量的十倍。故选A。
43．细节理解题。根据“The little snow that falls in the Antarctic never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century.”可知南极洲的雪很深，是因为雪从不融化，每年都会更厚。故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据“When the snow gets to be eighty feet deep, it is turned into ice by the weight of the snow above.”可知当雪到了80英尺时，雪的重量就会把雪变成冰。故选D。
45．最佳标题。根据“The Antarctic(南极洲) is actually a desert（沙漠）.”可知开头引出主题，本文主要介绍了南极洲的气候。故选B。

【答案】
51．looks 52．to play 53．was 54．so 55．friends 56．the 57．its 58．photos 59．heavily 60．with
【导语】本文主要描述了作者雪后和小朋友们一起堆雪人和打雪仗的趣事。
51．句意：下雪的时候，我们的花园在雪下看起来很美，在雪中玩耍也很好。look“看起来”，动词。根据“When it snows”可知本句时态是一般现在时，主语“our garden”是第三人称单数，动词需用三单形式。故填looks。
52．句意：下雪的时候，我们的花园在雪下看起来很美，在雪中玩耍也很好。play“玩”，动词。固定句型it’s good to do sth.“做某事很好的”，此处动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to play。
53．句意：雪下得太多了。根据“It was snowy.”可知本句是一般过去时，动词需用过去式。there be结构遵循就近原则，“too much snow”是不可数名词，be动词需用was。故填was。
54．句意：那天是星期天，所以我们没去上学。根据“we didn’t go to school.”可知，我们没有去上学是因为那天是星期天。前因后果，需用连词so“因此”。故填so。
55．句意：早餐后，我的一些朋友过来了，我们堆了一个很大的雪人。friend“朋友”，名词。根据“some of my...came over, and we made a very big snowman.”可知，此处是指我的一些朋友，名词需用复数形式。故填friends。
56．句意：我们把雪人命名为“泰坦”。此处是特指上文的雪人，需用定冠词the，the snowman“这个雪人”。故填the。
57．句意：有人把一顶旧帽子戴在它头上。it“它”，主格或宾格。空后有名词“head”，此处需用形容词性物主代词its“它的”来修饰。故填its。
58．句意：我给我们的雪人拍了很多照片。photo“照片”，可数名词。空前lots of“许多”，其后跟名词复数或者不可数名词。photo的复数为photos。故填photos。
59．句意：又开始下雪了，雪下得很大。heavy“重的”，形容词。空前有动词“snowed”，其后需用副词修饰。heavy的副词形式为heavily“大量地”。故填heavily。
60．句意：在公园里，我们遇到了不少来自我们学校的男孩，我们用雪球打了一场雪仗。with表示“用……”。故填with。
六、完成句子
61．她没有健康的生活方式，并且从来不运动。
She doesn’t have a ________ ________ and she ________ ________.
【答案】 healthy lifestyle never exercises
【详解】healthy“健康的”，形容词作定语；lifestyle“生活方式”，a修饰名词的单数形式；never“从不”，exercise“锻炼”，实义动词，此句是一般现在时，主语she是第三人称单数形式，动词用三单，故填healthy；lifestyle；never；exercises。
62．看！农民正在田地里收割庄稼。
Look! ____________________________________ in the field.
【答案】The farmers are harvesting the crops
【详解】“农民”：farmers，此处指田地里的农民，所以前面需要加定冠词the；“收割庄稼”：harvest the crops。根据“Look!”可知，此句为现在进行时，其结构为“be+doing”，主语farmers为复数，所以be动词用are。故填The farmers are harvesting the crops。
63．我将永远不会忘记那些夏日甜美的回忆。
I will never forget _________________________.
【答案】those sweet memories of summer days
【详解】“那些”those；“甜美的回忆”sweet memories；“夏日”summer days。sweet memories与summer days为所属关系，用of连接。故填those sweet memories of summer days。
64．昨天，气温突然降到零度以下。
Yesterday _____________________________.
【答案】the temperature suddenly dropped below zero
【详解】“气温”：temperature，此题中指昨天的气温，所以气温前加定冠词the；“下降”：drop；“突然”：suddenly，副词修饰动词，放在动词之前；“零度以下”：below zero。根据“Yesterday”可知，本句时态为一般过去时，所以动词需用过去式。故填the temperature suddenly dropped below zero。
65．秋天来临时，树叶枯黄，成堆地落在地面上。
When autumn comes, the ________ turn brown and _________ ________ ________ upon the ground.
【答案】 leaves fall into piles
【详解】根据中英文对比可知，树叶“leaf”，根据谓语动词“turn”可知，这里是名词复数，leaf复数是leaves；fall into piles“成堆落下”，and连接两个并列谓语，因此这里谓语是原形，故填leaves；fall；into；piles。
