When you imagine the desert,you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth' s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.
In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall.More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation--which can be rain,sleet,hail,or snow--on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth,has an average temperature that usually fails below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all.This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more--between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets so little precipitation every year,it is considered a desert.
When precipitation falls in hot deserts,it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The air over Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica.These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.
The main purpose of paragraph 1 is to________.
A．a(chǎn)ccept a conclusion
B．introduce an argument
C．provide a brief history
D．deny a common belief
37、 The best title for this passage would be________.
A．Earth's Many Deserts
B．Antarctica: The Coldest Place on Earth
C．A Desert of Ice
D．Unusual Blizzards
38、 Africa's Sahara Desert is the second-largest desert on earth.Based on the information in the passage, what characteristic must the Sahara share with Antarctica?
A．Low temperatures.
B．High temperatures.
C．Frequent blizzards.
D．Low precipitation.
39、 Based on the information in the final paragraph, it can be understood that blizzards in Antarctica are mainly the result of________.
A．strong winds
B．large amounts of snowfall
C．low amounts of precipitation
D．freezing cold temperatures

Two hundred years ago, American students went to American schools.Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin. In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.
The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin.It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain.If they were educated, they knew Latin.
During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.

They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.
Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.

To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast．But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions．There are many signs which can help you.For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high．The air is still and often full of dust．Faraway objects may look hazy．But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly．Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying "The farther the sight, the nearer the rain．"
Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes．Just before it rains, odors become stronger．This is because odors are repressed in a fair, high-pressure center．When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released．You can also hear an approaching storm.Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force．An old saying describes it this way: " Sounds traveling far and wide, a storm day will betide．"
And don't scoff if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming．It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or in corns and bunions when the humidity rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way．
The topic of this passage could be________．
A．Expert Weather Forecast
B．Seeing Approaching Storms
C．Old Sayings about Weather
