People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very low temperature and few people live there. However, the North and South Pole are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick(厚的) ice. Temperatures hardly ever go above 0°C, at
which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperature are usually as low as -34.4°C.

Although conditions 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 trouble and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who
stayed there may face many problems: very low temperature, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhaibite d because few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperature for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the sea water under the ice may
often cause many different changes on the surface(表面). Sometimes the ice breaks into two
opening lanes of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
( )71. This passage is probably from .
A. a story book B. a science book C. a computer magazine ( )72. According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago?
A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.
B. The environment in the North Pole suddenly went worse.
C. Temperature in the North Pole was usually higher than 0°C.
( )73. What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?
A. 气候恶劣的 B. 困难重重的 C. 无人居住的
( )74. The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is that .
A. the temperature suddenly drop B. the surface is filled with ice
C. the sea water under the ice moves
( )75. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. A difficult trip to the North Pole. B. An introduction to the North Pole.
C. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.
