举一反三
(2026·山东淄博期末) ① Do you know our planet has seven continents(大洲)? You probably name six continents easily: Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. Now look down at the bottom of the world map. There you will find the seventh continent: Antarctica.
② Antarctica is the coldest continent. The temperature in summer mostly reaches above 0℃. In winter the temperature is almost always below −18℃. The coldest temperature recorded on the earth was at an Antarctic science station in July 1983. It got down to −89℃. That’s why thick ice covers Antarctica. The ice holds 70% of the world’s fresh water.
③ But here’s the surprise: Some special animals still live there. Among them the Emperor Penguin, the largest penguin in the world, is the most famous. It stands more than 1.2 metres tall. Father penguin has a big job. It stands on ice and holds an egg between its feet and body for two months without eating any food until mother penguin comes back.
④ No country around the world owns Antarctica. Scientists from different countries have worked hard to protect Antarctica’s wildlife and land. Some of them come to study the wildlife. Other scientists study Antarctica’s ice.
⑤ Antarctica remains one of the least-known lands in the world. The cold and ice seas make it a difficult place to study. However, it’s a place to research the surprising nature.

A.In summer, the temperature is always below −18℃.
B.Antarctica is owned by a few developed countries.
C.Scientists have learnt all the secrets of Antarctica.
D.Antarctica is too cold for people to live there all the time.

)16. What can we infer from the passage?A.In summer, the temperature is always below −18℃.
B.Antarctica is owned by a few developed countries.
C.Scientists have learnt all the secrets of Antarctica.
D.Antarctica is too cold for people to live there all the time.
答案：16. D 【解析】根据文章内容可知，A项与第二段中“夏季温度大多在$0°C$以上”的描述不符；B项与第四段中“世界上没有任何一个国家拥有南极洲”的事实相悖；C项与最后一段中“南极洲仍是世界上最不为人知的地方之一”的表述矛盾。根据第二段中对南极洲极端寒冷气候的详细描述可以合理推断出，南极洲的气候条件过于恶劣，人类无法长期在那里居住，因此D项是唯一符合文意的推断。

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解中的推理判断题，解题思路是：将每个选项与原文对应内容逐一比对，判断选项表述是否与原文一致，排除与原文不符的错误选项，最终选出符合文意的正确选项。
【解析】
1. 选项A：根据原文第二段“The temperature in summer mostly reaches above 0℃”可知，夏季温度大多在0℃以上，而非“always below −18℃”，A项错误。
2. 选项B：根据原文第四段“No country around the world owns Antarctica”可知，南极洲不属于任何国家，而非“被少数发达国家拥有”，B项错误。
3. 选项C：根据原文第五段“Antarctica remains one of the least-known lands in the world”可知，南极洲还有很多未知，并非“科学家已了解所有秘密”，C项错误。
4. 选项D：根据原文第二段对南极洲极端寒冷气候（夏季大多0℃以上，冬季几乎低于-18℃，最低达-89℃）的描述，可合理推断出南极洲气候过于恶劣，人类无法长期居住，D项正确。
