People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冻硬的）wastelands.They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine(想象).
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice.Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.
Although conditions(条件）were very poor,people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on April 6th,1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极图）on foot.People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms,and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited.Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and harD.However, this is not true in the ArctiC.The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called"leads".Anyone who falls into a "lead" can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
11.This passage is probably from____.
A.a book review(评论) B.a science book

C.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.

A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的
14.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is______.
A.that the temperature suddenly drops
B.that the water under the ice is frozen
C.that the ocean water under the ice moves
D.that the surface is covered with lots of ice
15.What does this passage mainly talk about

2.答案：D
解析：—Jane，我发现一把雨伞。它是你的吗 —不是，它是Mike的。架子上第三把雨伞是我的。umbrella的发音以元音音素开头，且第一空表示泛指，所以用an；third是序数词，third one在句子中特指“第三把伞”，所以第二空用the。故选D。
3.答案：C
解析：hardly几乎不；nearly将近； especially特别，尤其； really真正地。根据本题语境可知，一年到头都有许多游客去龙凤湿地游览，尤其在夏天，故所缺的词是 especially。
