Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Just
like
humans,
birds
too
rely
on
sound
to
communicate.
However,
they
do
not
have
a
“language”
in
the
true
sense
of
the
word
and
instead
produce
a
variety
of
sounds
to
convey
different
emotions.
Often,
birds
recognise
their
mates
(配偶)
(or
young)by
sound
rather
than
sight.
Hungry
young
birds
use
begging
calls
to
let
their
mothers
know
it
is
feeding
time.Alarm
calls,
flight
calls
and
warning
calls
are
other
sounds
made
frequently
by
the
adults.
A
new
study
shows
that
songbirds
rehearse
(排演)their
songs
even
in
their
sleep.
The
activity
in
the
brain
of
the
birds
that
were
asleep
was
similar
to
the
brain
activity
produced
when
the
birds
were
awake
and
singing.
It
is
obvious
that
the
bird
stores
a
song
after
hearing
it,
then
rehearses
it
later
in
its
sleep.
Scientists
now
believe
the
birds
“dream
of
songs
and
tunes”
to
help
them
master
the
fine
art
of
singing
and
that
sleep
plays
a
key
role
in
the
learning
process!
Many
songbirds
learn
to
sing
by
listening
to
adult
birds
of
the
same
species.
However,
if
separated
from
the
adults,
the
young
birds
develop
sounds
which
are
hard
to
understand
instead
of
normal
song
patterns.
Researchers
carried
out
an
experiment,
in
which
a
male
bullfinch
(灰雀)was
raised
by
a
female
canary(金丝雀).
The
bullfinch
soon
learned
the
canary's
song
and
when
it
was
later
mated
to
a
female
bullfinch,
Mr
Bullfinch
taught
his
children
the
canary's
songs.
Last
year,
a
British
survey
of
London's
songbirds
showed
that
the
city's
birds
are
losing
their
tunes.
Birds
could
hardly
hear
one
another
over
the
traffic
noise;
as
a
result,
instead
of
copying
the
sweet
notes
of
the
adults，young
birds
were
copying
sounds
they
heard
most
often，namely
car
horns
and
beeping
cellphones!
1．According
to
the
passage,
birds
recognise
their
mates
by________.
A．using
their
own
words
B．listening
to
their
sounds
C．looking
at
their
appearances
D．singing
the
same
songs
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，鸟儿是通过听声音来辨认它们的配偶的。
2．What
kind
of
calls
might
a
young
bird
make
most
often
according
to
the
passage?
A．Flight
calls.
B．Alarm
calls.
C．Begging
calls.
D．Warning
calls.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，幼鸟发出
begging
calls
来让它们的母亲给它们喂食。由此可推知，幼鸟最经常发出的应该是“乞食声”。
3．The
story
of
Mr
Bullfinch
suggests
that________.
A．young
birds
learn
to
sing
from
whom
they
live
together
with
B．birds
only
learn
how
to
sing
from
the
same
adult
species
C．it's
not
easy
for
adult
birds
to
teach
young
birds
songs
D．a
canary's
song
is
more
beautiful
than
a
bullfinch's
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段可知，灰雀被一只金丝雀喂养，它学会的是金丝雀的歌声。由此推断，幼鸟是跟与它们生活在一起的鸟类学习声音的。
4．From
the
last
paragraph,
we
know
that________.
A．traffic
noise
makes
young
birds
become
deaf
B．birds
in
the
city
can
sing
as
sweetly
as
those
in
the
wild
C．birds
in
the
city
recognise
their
mates
mainly
by
sight
D．noise
pollution
causes
much
trouble
for
birds
in
the
city
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，城市嘈杂的声音使鸟儿听不到彼此的歌声，幼鸟也无法向成年的鸟学习唱歌，因此说噪音给城市中的鸟儿带来了麻烦。
B
Travelers
to
some
small
and
beautiful
villages
should
remember
the
following
suggestions：
Be
careful
of
what
you
eat
and
drink.
Eat
well?cooked
and
hot
foods,
and
don't
drink
fresh
milk,
eat
too
much
seafood
or
undercooked
meat.

or
forget
it.
About
allergies
(过敏症).
If
you
have
any
food
allergies,
learn
the
names
of
those
foods
in
the
languages
of
the
countries
you'll
be
visiting.
This
way
you'll
be
able
to
stay
away
from
them.
Ask
your
doctor.
Ask
your
doctor
for
health
advice.
This
is
very
important
for
everyone.
Take
along
a
copy
of
your
medical
record.
A
good
medical
record
should
include
all
of
the
medicines
you
are
taking,
the
treatment
you
have
received
or
are
receiving,
your
blood
type,
and
so
on.
You

things
with
you
at
all

本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了去一些美丽的小山村旅游时应注意的事项。
5．What
does
the
underlined
word
“forget”
in
Paragraph
Two
most
probably
mean?
A．Don't
remember
B．Don't
recall
C．Don't
eat
D．Don't
buy
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。通过第二段中心句“Be
careful
of
what
you
eat
and
drink.”可知，该段主要说明了外出旅游时在饮食方面应注意的事项。画线词所在句子“Remember:
boil
it,
cook
it,
wash
it,
or
forget
it.”也是对本段内容的概括，由此可知，“forget
it”是指如果这些饮食不是经过煮熟或清洗的，就不要食用。故选C项。A项意为“不要记住”；B项意为“不要回忆”；D项意为“不要买”，都不符合句意。
6．What
had
you
better
do
to
avoid
the
allergic
foods
before
traveling
to
another
country?
A．Ask
the
doctor
for
advice.
B．Remember
the
foods
in
the
native
language.
C．Bring
your
own
foods
with
you.

only
wholly?cooked
foods.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“If
you
have
any
food
allergies,
learn
the
names
of
those
foods
in
the
languages
of
the
countries
you'll
be
visiting.”可知，如果对某些食物过敏，在旅游前，应了解在当地语言中这些食物的名称，这样就能避免误食了。故选B项。
7．Where
is
the
passage
most
probably
from?
A．A
newspaper.
B．A
textbook.
C．A
medical
magazine.
D．A
traveler's
guide.
答案：D
解析：文章出处题。本文的中心段是第一段。根据第一段可知，本文主要提醒游客到美丽的小山村旅游时应注意的一些事项。由此可推知，答案是D项，意为“旅游指南”。A项意为“报纸”；B项意为“教科书”；C项意为“医学杂志”，都与文章内容不相符。
8．Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Safe
Traveling
B．Enjoyable
Traveling
C．Overseas
Traveling
D．Countryside
Traveling
答案：A
解析：标题概括题。通读文章可知，本文主要是提醒游客去小山村旅游时在安全饮食等方面应注意的一些事项。由此可知，A项(安全旅游)与文章中心一致。B项意为“快乐旅游”；C项意为“海外旅游”；D项意为“乡村旅游”，都与文章中心不相符。
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A
philosophy
professor
stood
before
his
class
and
had
some
items
in
front
of
him.
When
class
began,
wordlessly
he
picked
up
a
large
empty
glass_jar
and
proceeded
to
fill
it
with
rocks
right
to
the
top,
rocks
about
two
inches
in
diameter.
He
then
asked
the
students
if
the
jar
was
full.
They
agreed
that
it
was.
The
professor
then
picked
up
a
box
of
pebbles
(鹅卵石)
and
poured
them
into
the
jar.
He
shook
the
jar
lightly.
The
pebbles,
of
course,
rolled
into
the
open
spaces
between
the
rocks.
The
students
laughed.
He
asked
his
students
again
if
the
jar
was
full.
They
agreed，“Yes,
it
was.”
The
professor
then
picked
up
a
box
of
sand
and
poured
it
into
the
jar.
Of
course,
the
sand
filled
up
all
the
remaining
spaces.
“Now，”
said
the
professor,
“I
want
you
to
recognize
that
this
is
your
life.”
The
rocks
are
the
most
important
things—your
family,
your
partner,
your
health,
your
children—anything
that
is
so
important
to
you
that
if
it
were
lost,
you
would
be
nearly
destroyed.
The
pebbles
are
the
other
things
in
life
that
matter,
but
on
a
smaller
scale.
The
pebbles
represent
things
like
your
job,
your
house,
your
car.
The
sand
is
everything
else—the
small_stuff.
If
you
put
the
sand
or
the
pebbles
into
the
jar
first,
there
is
no
room
for
the
rocks.
The
same
goes
for
your
life.
If
you
spend
all
your
energy
and
time
on
the
small
stuff,
you
will
never
have
room
for
the
things
that
are
truly
most
important.
Pay
attention
to
the
things
that
are
critical
in
your
life.
Play
with
your
children.
Take
your
partner
out
dancing.
Talk
with
your
parents.
There
will
always
be
time
to
go
to
work,
clean
the
house，give
a
dinner
party
and
fix
the
disposal.
“Take
care
of
the
rocks
first—the
things
that
really
matter.
Set
your
priorities
(优先).
The
rest
is
just
pebbles
and
sand.
They
will
take
care
of
themselves.”
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
答案
Paragraph
1：
Later,
students
were
asked
to
voice
their
own
understandings.
A
student
stood
up,
agreeing
with
the
professor
and
saying
shamefully
that
he
only
focused
on
some
small_stuff,_even
enjoying
all
kinds
of
amusements
rather
than
spending
time
accompanying
his
parents.
What's
more,
a
good
idea
was
put
forward
that
everyone
should
reflect
on
his
own
life,_making
room
for
critical
things
and
creating
a
meaningful
life.The
professor
nodded
his
head
with
a
bright
smile,
encouraging
more
opinions.
Paragraph
2：
A
creative
student
compared
the
empty
jar
to
time,
which
aroused
great
interests
among
the
class.
He
explained
that
the
way
we
filled
the
empty
glass_jar
was
the
way
we
made
use
of
our
time.
We
seldom
thought
carefully
about
it.
Therefore,
we
usually
wasted
time
on
a
lot
of
little
things
firstly,
leaving
less
time
to
deal
with
the
more
vital
things.
For
example,
we
were
easily
addicted
to
games
but
poorly
prepared
for
our
study.
Thus,
it's
high
time
that
we
should
change
our
attitudes
to
life
from
now
on.Module

His

Several

and
patted
Jason's

A

Jason
started

He

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Since
the
first
Earth
Day
in
1970，Americans
have
gotten
a
lot
“greener”
toward
the
environment.
“We
didn't
know
at
that
time
that
there
even
was
an
environment,
let
alone
that
there
was
a
problem
with
it，”
says
Bruce
Anderson,
president
of
Earth
Day
USA.
But
what
began
as
nothing
important
in
public
affairs
has
grown
into
a
social
movement.
Business
people,
political
leaders,
university
professors,
and
especially
millions
of
grass?roots
Americans
are
taking
part
in
the
movement.
“The
understanding
has
increased
many，many
times，”
says
Gaylord
Nelson,
the
former
governor
from
Wisconsin,
who
thought
up
the
first
Earth
Day.
According
to
US
government
reports,
emissions
(排放)from
cars
and
trucks
have
dropped
from
10.3
million
tons
a
year
to
5.5
million
tons.
The
number
of
cities
producing
CO
beyond
the
standard
has
been
reduced
from
40
to
9.
Although
serious
problems
still
remain
and
need
to
be
dealt
with,
the
world
is
a
safer
and
healthier
place.
A
kind
of
“green
thinking”
has
become
part
of
practices.
Great
improvement
has
been
achieved.
In
1988
there
were
only
600
recycling
programs;
today
in
1995
there
are
about
6,600.
Advanced
lights,
motors,
and
building
designs
have
helped
save
a
lot
of
energy
and
therefore
prevented
pollution.
Twenty?five
years
ago,
there
were
hardly
any
education
programs
for
environment.
Today,
it's
hard
to
find
a
public
school,
university,
or
law
school
that
does
not
have
such
a
kind
of
program.
“Until
we
do
that,
nothing
else
will
change！”
says
Bruce
Anderson.
随着人们环保意识的增强，美国在环境保护方面取得了一些成就。
1．According
to
Anderson,
before
1970,
Americans
had
little
idea
about________.
A．the
social
movement
B．recycling
techniques
C．environmental
problems
D．the
importance
of
Earth
Day
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句We
didn't
know
at
that
time
that
there
even
was
an
environment,
let
alone
that
there
was
a
problem
with
it...可知，安德森认为，在1970年以前，美国人对环境问题知之甚少。
let
alone意为“更不必说”。故选C项。
2．Where
does
the
support
for
environmental
protection
mainly
come
from?
A．The
grass?roots
level.
B．The
business
circle.
C．Government
officials.
D．University
professors.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的．..and
especially
millions
of
grass?roots
Americans
are
taking
part
in
the
movement.可知，数百万的基层群众是环境保护的主要支持者，故选A项。
3．What
have
Americans
achieved
in
environmental
protection?
A．They
have
cut
car
emissions
to
the
lowest.
B．They
have
settled
their
environmental
problems.
C．They
have
lowered
their
CO
levels
in
forty
cities.
D．They
have
reduced
pollution
through
effective
measures.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段及第四段可知，降低汽车尾气排放量，再循环工程的数量大幅增加，更先进的照明、引擎及建筑设计，这些都有助于减少污染。由此可以推断，美国人通过采取一系列的有效措施减少了污染。故选D项。
4．What
is
especially
important
for
environmental
protection
according
to
the
last
paragraph?
A．Education.
B．Planning.
C．Green
living.
D．CO
reduction.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，25年前几乎没有关于环境的教育课程，而现在几乎每一所学校都有这样的课程，结合最后一句中的Until
we
do
that,
nothing
else
will
change！可知，在环保问题上，教育尤其重要。故选A项。

Driving
to
the
airport
in
the
early
morning,
I
felt
excited.
Although
I
was
heading
abroad
for
my
first
time
alone,
I
felt
cheerful
and
enthusiastic.
I
was
spending
the
summer
in
Paris.
While
looking
for
more
interesting
things
to
do
besides
sleeping
and
eating,
I
found
programs
for
learning
languages
abroad,
and
jumped
at
the
chance
to
study
French
in
this
city
known
for
its
art,
fashion,
food,
and
culture.
As
I
arrived
at
the
airport
where
I
would
leave
my
family,
I
still
felt
only
great
happiness.
I
excitedly
made
my
way
through
security,
leaving
my
loved
ones
behind.
My
connecting
flight
was
in
Frankfurt,
Germany,
14
hours
from
Denver.
Sitting
in
a
crowded
plane
watching
bad
movies
couldn't
dampen
my
excitement.
When
the
woman
next
to
me
asked
me
where
I
was
going,
I
happily
answered
and
was
pleased
to
note
a
tone
of
jealousy
in
her
response.
But
when
I
arrived
in
Frankfurt,
fear
and
anxiety
began
to
set
in.
Being
in
an
enormous,
busy
building
in
a
country
where
I
could
not
speak
the
language
was
frightening,
but
as
I
found
my
way,
I
gained
confidence.
When
I
boarded
the
second
plane
and
discovered
that
the
flight
was
less
than
an
hour,
I
was
filled
with
excitement
as
I
thought
of
how
I
would
manage
in
a
country
with
a
new
language.
When
I
stepped
on
the
ground
of
Paris
for
the
first
time,
I
was
extremely
happy
and
excited.
I
gathered
my
bags
and
joined
the
crowd
of
people
waiting
for
friends
and
family.
I
quickly
had
my
first
experience
trying
to
communicate
in
a
language
that
I
had
only
practiced
in
school.
As
I
left
the
airport,
I
looked
for
familiar
monuments
I
had
read
about,
but
the
landscape
looked
very
ordinary.
Then,
with
one
sharp
turn,
the
Eiffel
Tower
came
into
view,
and
I
was
finally
in
Paris.

Ⅱ.阅读填句
There
is
an
old
Spanish
saying
which
states,
“Tomorrow
is
often
the
busiest
day
of
the
week.”
How
many
times
have
we
put
off
our
dreams
until
tomorrow?
__1__
We
have
to
go
for
them
now!
●Tomorrow
is
not
promised.
Nobody
likes
to
talk
about
death,
but
everybody
is
going
to
die
at
one
point.
None
of
us
know
the
day
or
the
hour.
__2__
Don't
go
to
your
tomb
with
unrealized
dreams.
Make
the
decision
to
go
after
every
dream,
big
or
small
right
now.
●__3__
One
of
the
biggest
dream
killers
is
fear.
Many
people
could
have
achieved
amazing
things
if
only
they
weren't
afraid.
Just
think
about
all
the
things
you've
wanted
to
do,
but
allowed
fear
to
convince
you
that
you
weren't
talented,
or
good
enough.
Fear
is
not
real.
It
is
a
product
of
thoughts
you
create.
●Take
action
to
realize
your
dream.
You
can
dream
about
writing
a
great
play,
but
it's
never
going
to
happen
unless
you
actually
put
pen
to
paper.
You
can
dream
about
finding
a
cure
for
cancer,
but
it
will
never
happen
unless
you
actually
become
equipped
with
the
necessary
tools
to
find
that
cure.
__4__
●Possibilities
are
waiting
on
you.
There
are
so
many
amazing
opportunities
and
people
waiting
on
you.
How
do
you
get
to
them?
Simple!
Follow
your
dream.
__5__
You'll
never
see
those
doors
if
you
sit
around
waiting
on
a
dream
to
happen,
instead
of
actually
working
to
make
it
happen.
A．Don't
let
fear
win.
B．In
other
words,
dreams
don't
work
unless
you
do.
C．Our
dreams
should
not,
and
cannot
wait.
D．Therefore,
today
is
all
we
have.
E．You'll
be
much
happier
if
you
go
for
it.
F．You
were
born
into
the
world
with
a
unique
gift,
which
nobody
can
copy.
G．Doors
that
you
couldn't
imagine
open
up
when
you
go
after
what
you
want.

本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。因为害怕孤单，作者的妈妈失明后经常需要作者和姐姐照顾，作者对此并不理解。不幸的是，因为遗传，作者也失明了。但在CNIB的支持下，在丈夫和孩子们的关心下，作者学会了独立，并开始从事自己喜爱的写作事业。由此作者明白了尽管失明是件可怕的事，但只要有爱和支持，就能找到战胜困难的力量。
1．A.hated
B．preferred
C．stopped
D．began
答案：B
解析：考查动词辨析。根据本句中的“Although”可知，主从句之间是让步转折关系。从句句意：尽管她有一根白色拐杖。由此可知，主句应强调她更喜欢作者或作者的姐姐做她的视力向导。故选B，意为“更喜欢，偏爱”，符合句意。A项意为“憎恨”；C项意为“停下”；D项意为“开始”，都不符合逻辑。
2．A.made
fun
of
B．looked
up
to
C．knocked
down
D．cheered
up
答案：A
解析：考查动词短语辨析。本句与其后的并列句“and
often
I
found
myself
________
why
me”相照应。由此根据“why
me”(为何是我)可知，此处指作者经常被别的孩子嘲笑。故选A项，意为“取笑”。B项意为“尊敬，看得起”；C项意为“撞倒”；D项意为“使振作起来，鼓舞”，都不符合句意。
3．A.wandering
B．wondering
C．discussing
D．telling
答案：B

4．A.in
B．for
C．on
D．of
答案：D
解析：考查介词辨析。根据下句中“with
my
impending
(即将发生的)
sight
loss”可知，作者自己的视力也出现了问题。故选D项，
of
one's
own是固定短语，意为“自己的”。
on
one's
own意为“独自的，独立的”。
5．A.understanding
B．view
C．look
D．point
答案：A
解析：考查名词辨析。本句与第一段最后一句中“often
I
found
myself
________
why
me”对比，同时与下句中“but

7．A.while
B．if

________
to
use
my
sister
and
me
as

if符合两句间逻辑关系。故选B项。
8．A.hated

animals
which
can
cope
with
the
low
temperatures.
Tourism
began
in
Antarctica
in
the
1950s
and
it's
still
small
scale.
About
37,000
tourists
are
expected
there
this
season,
but
many
won't
even
leave
the
boat.
The
BBC's
Juliet
Rix
visited
the
frozen
continent
and
asked
herself
if
she
should
be
there
at
all,
causing
potential
problems
to
such
a
sensitive
environment.
Her
tour
guide
admitted
that
all
visitors
leave
a
footprint
and
they
all
go
to
the
same
places,
the
accessible
coastline,
which
is
also
where
the
penguins
and
seals
go
to
breed.
But
some
people
believe
that
if
carefully
controlled,
tourism
can
be
good
for
Antarctica.
It
has
no
native
population
and
it
needs
advocates.
Visitors
to
the
icy
continent
might
be
ready
to
support
and
even
to
fund
its
preservation.
And
they're
likely
to
engage
in
the
discussion
about
global
warming,
which
has
led
to
the
melting
of
glaciers.
According
to
Rix,
guidelines
are
followed
when
you're
about
to
set
foot
in
Antarctica
and
tourists
have
to
disinfect
(消毒)
their
boots
to
make
sure
no
alien
species
are
introduced.
And
once
on
land,
there's
no
eating
or
smoking.
Rocks,
bone
fragments—nothing
should
be
taken
as
a
souvenir
and
nothing
should
be
left
behind.
Tourists
fortunate
enough
to
visit
the
Antarctica
must
be
aware
that
this
is
not
their
home
and
keep
their
fingers
crossed
that
future
generations
will
also
be
able
to
enjoy
such
breathtaking
views.
本文是一篇议论文。文章就“游客是否应该去南极洲旅游”这一话题进行了讨论。
1．According
to
the
second
paragraph,
we
can
learn
that
______.
A．Antarctica
has
become
the
best
place
for
people
to
travel
B．only
scientists
can
be
allowed
to
go
to
Antarctica
C．Antarctica
is
less
affected
by
human
activities
D．no
animals
can
survive
in
Antarctica
except
penguins
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第三句“Just
a
few
scientists
in
research
stations
share
the
icy
landscape
with
penguins
and
other
animals
which
can
cope
with
the
low
temperatures.”可知，只有少数研究站的科学家曾到过南极洲，由此可推知，南极洲地区受人类活动的影响较小。故答案选C。
2．Juliet
Rix's
travel
in
Antarctica
mentioned
in
the
fourth
paragraph
indicates
that
________.
A．governments
should
take
measures
to
stop
tourists
from
going
to
Antarctica
B．whether
tourists
should
go
to
Antarctica
or
not
should
be
considered
carefully
C．the
animals'
habitat
in
Antarctica
has
been
seriously
affected
by
tourism
D．only
journalists
begin
to
pay
attention
to
the
environmental
protection
in
Antarctica
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句中“asked
herself
if
she
should
be
there
at
all,
causing
potential
problems
to
such
a
sensitive
environment”可知，
Juliet
Rix问自己究竟是否应该待在南极洲，给南极洲脆弱的生态环境带来潜在的问题。由此可推知，此处用Juliet
Rix的经历来表明游客是否应该踏足南极洲这个问题应该被仔细考虑。故答案选B。
3．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true
according
to
Rix?
A．Tourists
can
eat
and
smoke
in
Antarctica.
B．Tourists
can
take
something
they
like
from
Antarctica.
C．Tourists
can
throw
away
something
they
don't
need
in
Antarctica.
D．Tourists
can
enjoy
the
beautiful
scenery
in
Antarctica.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一、二句“And
once
on
land,
there's
no
eating
or
smoking.
Rocks,
bone
fragments—nothing
should
be
taken
as
a
souvenir
and
nothing
should
be
left
behind.”可知，游客不可以在南极洲吃东西，也不可以抽烟，不能带走南极洲上的任何东西，也不能留下游客自己的任何东西。由此可知，A、B、C三项错误。根据文章最后一句中“will
also
be
able
to
enjoy
such
breathtaking
views”可知，游客可以在南极洲欣赏美景。故答案选D。
4．Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
of
this
passage?
A．Why
can't
tourists
go
to
Antarctica?
B．How
can
tourists
go
to
Antarctica?
C．Should
tourists
go
to
Antarctica?
D．Are
tourists
allowed
to
go
to
Antarctica?
答案：C
解析：标题概括题。根据文章第四段第一句中“asked
herself
if
she
should
be
there
at
all,
causing
potential
problems
to
such
a
sensitive
environment”并结合对全文的理解可知，本文讨论的是：由于南极洲的环境极其脆弱敏感，游客是否应该踏足该地区。故答案选C。
