21、Antarctica is the highest, driest, and coldest place on Earth. It is also the remotest, a fact which demystifies its unspoiled environment. It is difficult for people to get there, and not a comfortable place for people to stay once they arrive. It is widely described as the last true wilderness on our planet.

The cold climate is responsible for maintaining the continent’s year-round ice fields: They never melt. Even though Antarctica receives more sunlight than the equator, the temperatures are lower because the ice sheet reflects the heat back into space. Thus, the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was in Antarctica in July, 1983. Soviet scientists shivered (瑟瑟发抖) through temperatures that fell to minus 89.2 degrees Celsius.

Once completely inaccessible, Antarctica has more recently been playing host to adventurers seeking excitement, scientists interested in experimenting, and companies looking to exploit this wild zone for profit: gold, uranium and oil are just some of the valuable resources which lie beneath the continent’s icy covering.

For centuries, Europeans wondered about the existence of a South-pole continent, but no one actually knew for certain Antactica was there until 1820 when European explorers “discover” it. Since then, men have gone to Antarctica in search of adventure. Testing their abilities, several teams of explorers set out in 1911 to be the first men to stand at the South Pole.

Yet, Antarctica’s fragile and complicated ecosystem is threatened by its human visitors. Damage to the environment occurs as people come looking for resources beneath the ice, or carelessly leave their garbage behind. Currently, countries are working to ensure that the damage to Antarctica’s environment is minimized, and that the last wilderness on Earth will remain an unspoiled place.

【1】What does the underlined word “demystifies” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Does harm to.

B．Lies in.

C．Accounts for.

D．Stays away from.

【2】Why are Soviet scientists mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A．To make a comparison with other places.

B．To show Soviet scientists’ fearless spirits.

C．To stress the freezing weather of Antarctica.

D．To explain the reason for Antarctica’s cold climate.

【3】When did people begin to explore Antarctica?

A．In the late eighteenth century.

B．In the early eighteenth century.

C．In the early nineteenth century.

D．In the late twentieth century.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Measures are being taken to protect Antarctica.

B．Antarctica’s eco-system has been destroyed by men.

C．People visiting Antarctica leave garbage on purpose.

D．In the icy covering are buried few precious resources.
