(7) 100-2 共同考科. 英文. ▲閱讀下文，回答第 46-50 題。 Antarctica lies in the South Pole of our planet. Its severe climate and biological conditions provide an unique environment. It has the lowest temperature on our planet, reaching 70 degrees below zero Celsius with winds blowing to 300 km. per hour. Containing 90% of the planet’s ice, it’s the major storage of fresh water on Earth. About 99% of Antarctica is covered with ice to an approximate thickness of 2,500 meters. It’s estimated that if the ice in this continent should melt, the Earth’s ocean would rise 70 meters above the original level. Due to its vast reserve of ice, the Antarctic Continent has “refrigerator” functions to the Earth, including regulating the ocean currents and the world’s climate; therefore, any significant environmental influence would change the global patterns of weather with disastrous results. The arrival of the first tourists in the 1950’s was a main cause of environmental concern. To protect the ecology of this continent, some rules and regulations were made, such as restricted zones, a safe distance from the wild life (neither feeding nor touching animals), and rigid control of waste disposal. Owing to severe weather, Antarctica has no land animals. There live only penguins and some other sea birds, which are amazingly well adapted to the harsh conditions. 46. According to the passage, why were strict rules and regulations made for Antarctica? (A) To protect the ecology from the visitors’ damage. (B) To save land animals. (C) To keep the ice from melting. (D) To avoid the sea level from rising. 47. Which of the following is NOT one of the strict rules and regulations for Antarctica? (A) A safe distance from the wild life. (B) Not feeding the animals. (C) Rigid control of waste disposal. (D) Rigid control of tourists arrival. 48. When did Antarctica first become a tourist destination? (A) Fifty years ago. (B) Sixty years ago. (C) Seventy years ago. (D) Eighty years ago. 49. Why is Antarctica the major reserve of fresh water in the world? (A) Because it contains 90% of the Earth’s ice. (B) Because it has severe climate. (C) Because of its unique environment. (D) Because of its low temperature. 50. According to the article, what would happen if the ice layer of Antarctica should melt? (A) Most of the animals in Antarctica would go extinct. (B) The sea level of the Earth’s oceans would rise 70 meters higher. (C) The problem of water shortage in the world would become worse. (D) Strong winds would blow up to 300 km. per hour.. 共7頁. 第 7 頁.
