5. Read an article about Antarctica. For questions 1-3,
choose an answer (А, В, C, or D) which you think fits best
according to the text.
What is Antarctica?
Antarctica is a continent that is
right at the southern tip of the planet. If you try to find it on a globe, you
will see that it is at the bottom.
It takes up one-tenth of the Earth’s
surface and is covered with a blanket of ice that can be 1500 thick metres. The
South Pole is right in the middle of Antarctica.
Antarctica is the coldest continent,
as well as the driest, the highest and the windiest. Very few people live there
all year round. Scientists stay there for short periods, living in specially
built research stations.
Summer in Antarctica is between
October and March. During this time there is non-stop daylight. In winter,
April to September, the opposite happens and Antarctica is dropped into six
months of constant darkness.
In Antarctica it is colder than you
can possibly imagine, even in the summer! The South Pole is the coldest part
of Antarctica. The average temperature for January, the middle of the summer,
is minus 28 degrees Celsius (-28 °C).
In winter, April to September, the
average temperature at the South Pole can be as cold as -89 °C. When it is that
cold, a mug of boiling water thrown in the air would freeze before it hit the
ice. Sometimes the scientists have to use fridges to keep their samples* warm.
