When I choose a holiday, I always have the same problem. I don’t want to go somewhere and see lots of other visitors. I want to be the only person there. The problem is there are other visitors everywhere these days. Is there anywhere in the world without other people? What about Antarctica (南极洲)? It’s large and beautiful. Between 1,000 and 5,000 people work there, but nobody lives there. It sounds great! In fact, there are also visitors in Antarctica. They began to come in the late 1950s. About 500 people a year visited from Chile and Argentina. Now, about 50,000 people from all over the world go by ship to Antarctica every year. So like everywhere else with visitors, Antarctica is changing. Some people think there are fewer wild animals and birds there now. However, there is also some good news. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO 国际南极旅游组织协会) have many ships. They teach visitors about Antarctica and its wildlife.

I don’t want to go somewhere and see lots of other visitors. I want to be the only person there.”可知，作者选择度假地时总是有一个问题，就是不想看到很多其他游客，想成为那里唯一的人，所以作者的问题是去哪里度假。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What about Antarctica (南极洲)? It’s large and beautiful. Between 1,000 and 5,000 people work there, but nobody lives there. It sounds great!”可知，作者认为南极洲很大很漂亮，没有人住在那里，只有1000到5000人在那里工作，这听起来很棒，所以作者一开始认为去南极洲旅行很棒。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Between 1,000 and 5,000 people work there, but nobody lives there.”可知，南极洲有1000到5000人在那里工作，没有人住在那里，所以关于南极洲可以知道的是有一些人在那里工作。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO 国际南极旅游组织协会) have many ships.

Go to Antarctica, go somewhere else or stay at home?”可知，作者最后不知该去南极洲、去别的地方还是待在家里，所以作者在最后一段是寻求建议，故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共55分） 四。词汇应用（共10小题，计10分） 根据句意、音标、首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列单词的完全形式。 31.

Some people think there are fewer wild animals and birds there now. However, there is also some good news. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO 国际南极旅游组织协会) have many ships. They teach visitors about Antarctica and its wildlife. They also give money to help save the environment of Antarctica so it doesn’t change in the future. So what should I do? Go to Antarctica, go somewhere else or stay at home? 26.
