Lizzie-s diary from Antarctica （南极洲）
Day 3：Tuesday December 2
We planned to go to Rothera that morning．We'd be staying there for the next two weeks．Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all．
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day．People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.
It turned clear at 9：30and we took off at 10：30on a little red plane called a Dash﹣7．But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day．
Day 4：Wednesday December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place．It is really beautiful．
We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around．It s about minus 2℃ today，which for me is very cold，but the regulars（常客） here are often seen walking around in T﹣shirts!
Day 5：Thursday December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic．I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer．Those of us who are new to the base have to do a spceial training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill．
Day 7：Saturday December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside （in a jacket）．
The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery （凤景） changes every day．
At first I thought I was going mad．I'd step outside in the morning and think，'I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday．' It's because the sea ice is always moving﹣slowly thankfully!

【文章大意】
文章讲述的主要是作者在南极旅游的日记．记述了一些在南极发生的事情，首先是因为恶劣的天气状况，使得他们在Stanley滞留了很多天，之后就去了南极洲，到了这里之后发现这里的景色很美，并且每天的景色看起来都不一样，作者感到很震惊。
【答案与解析】
34．D 推理判断题，文中提到'Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside （in a jacket）。'今天不太冷，室外也挺暖和，这里备注写上是穿上了夹克，这天是第七天，12月6号，星期六，由此确定选择D。
35．A 推理判断题，文中提到'People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather'人们必须呆在Stanley，因为飞行员在等一个好天气，前文又提到'Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth'南极洲是世界上刮风最严重的地方，由此推测应该是大风天气使得他们无法起飞，选择A。
36．C 推理判断题，文中提到'After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place．It is really beautiful'早上起来发现南极洲的风景实在是太棒了，一眼就爱上了，在最后一天的日记中也说amazing，由此可知对南极的印象应该是积极的，而不是消极的，由此确定选择C。
37．D 推理判断题，文中提到'The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery （凤景） changes every day．'在南极的这几天最令人惊讶的是每天的风景都不一样，由此确定选择D。
