4.If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment,then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.
With the average temperature for January standing at-50C,it is no wonder the village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the'Pole of Cold',the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon was-71.2C,which is the lowest recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth.
Ironically,Oymyakon actually means'non-freezing water due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes-in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (馴鹿) meat and horse meat.A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders,
hunters and ice-fisherman.
The village is located around 750metres above sea level and the length of a day varies from 3hours in December t0 21hours in the summer.And despite its terrible winters,in June,July and August temperatures over 30c are not uncommon.
There are few modern conveniences in the village-with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular,the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases,the town shuts down in about five hours,and the pipes freeze and crack.
Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing,glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.
Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception,the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies,which can take anything up to three days.

解答 CBA
64.C 事實細節(jié)題.根據(jù)課文第三段第一句"Ironically,Oymyakon actually means"non-freezing water"due to a nearby hot spring."具有反諷意味的是,由于靠近一處溫泉,奧伊米亞康這一名字的實際意思竟是"不凍之水".可知C項正確.A項中的"coldest location"與文中的"coldest inhabited settlement"是兩個不同的概念.
65.B 細節(jié)理解題.結(jié)合第七段中的"batteries losing power"和第八段的內(nèi)容可知,由于天氣極其寒冷,電池沒有電,移動電話根本使用不了.故選B項.
66.A 推理判斷題.依據(jù)文章可推斷,由于極其寒冷,當?shù)厝藭龅礁鞣N日常問題. 故選A項.
點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項 (3)排除用于過于極端或負面的選項(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.
