Antarctica(南極洲)is the coldest place on the earth, but every year thousands of tourists go there. Why do they go? There are no famous buildings, no hotels and no restaurants. There are some beaches, but nobody wants to go swimming. Why do people want to take a vacation in Antarctica?

Most people go to see the birds, the animals and the amazing scenery. There are seals(海豹)lying on the ice. There are whales swimming in the ocean. You can also watch penguins jumping into water from icebergs(冰山). It’s one of the last untouched places on the planet.

It’s possible to visit Antarctica by plane, but most people go there by ship. That’s because the ships are comfortable places to stay, and the journey (by sea) is part of the vacation. All tourists visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter it’s too cold for visitors, but in the summer—from November to March—it’s warmer than many people think. In some parts of Antarctica in January, it’s about 0℃. So it can be warmer there than it is in Beijing in January. When you visit there, you don’t need to bring a lot of special clothes. Instead, you need to bring sunglasses. The sunshine on the snow and ice is very bright.

Tourists are not the only people who go to Antarctica. In the summer months there are about 4,000 scientists and other people living and working there, and a few of them stay for the long, drink winters. Tourists can visit some of these people and learn about their work in this amazing place.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

I recently took part in a very exciting five-week trip for teenagers, to volunteer at an international wildlife study centre, off the coast of a country far from where I live. The a1. of the center was to help protect wildlife. So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre.

We were w2. by staff about our accommodation(食宿)before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden huts where we would live. They were quite b3.: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadn’t eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me.

The day after our arrival, we started our t4.-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a5. we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential.

Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with my ‘diving buddy’,collecting data on the fish in the area. I s6. looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water with these amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didn’t seem at all w7. about us, and just watched us in an interesting way, before swimming off towards the coral reef. Unforgettable!
