【分析】
这是一道英语信息还原题，解题思路为：首先通读短文，明确短文围绕北极与南极的对比展开，分天气、冰下状况、动物、人类四个模块；接着逐个分析每个空缺处的上下文语境，结合选项含义，筛选出能使上下文逻辑连贯的选项；最后验证所有选项填入后短文是否通顺，排除多余选项。
【解析】
1. 第1空：短文第一段介绍了北极和南极的位置，需引出两者的对比内容，选项G“Both of the places have a lot in common, but they are also different in many ways.”起到承上启下的作用，符合语境，故选G。
2. 第2空：本段讲天气，前文提到两地都很冷，后文提到冰不融化，选项B“Both of them are covered with ice.”承接天气寒冷导致结冰的逻辑，故选B。
3. 第3空：本段讲冰下情况，前文说明北极冰下是水，后文指出南极是大陆，选项C“Land is under most of the ice in the Antarctic.”对应南极的情况，与北极形成对比，故选C。
4. 第4空：本段讲动物，后文分别介绍北极、南极及两地共有的动物，选项A“Animals live in both places.”总起动物相关内容，故选A。
5. 第5空：本段讲人类在两地的居住情况，前文提到南极无人长期居住，后文提到有人在南极工作，选项F“Scientists who study the Antarctic stay there while they are working.”符合语境，故选F。
【答案】
1.G 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.F
