The Arctic Ice is Thawing

Father Christmas may he to move his workshop from the North Pole because global warming is thawing the ice beneath his feet and his reindeers' feet as well. His workshop is in dire straits. The platform for the workshop is melting, said Stefan Norris of the World Wildlife Fund environmental group's Arctic Program.

An eight-nation report by 250 scientists published recently predicted the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by 2100 because of a build-up of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels in cars or factories. The North Pole is getting more and more inhabitable to Father Christmas. ___1___. Young people learn that Father Christmas' workshop produces millions of gifts delivered by him on a flying, reindeer-drawn sleigh. Hollywood movies like The Polar Express tried to make viewers believe that Father Christmas lives at the North Pole. ___2___.

The Fortress of Solitude is near the North Pole that could be under threat in a warmer world. Alan Boldt, spokesman of the Danish Ministry of Science, suggested ways to rescue Father Christmas. ___3___. Another alternative, he argued, would be building some electrical facilities to ensure the ice stays on the North Pole for him. This should be a subject for the United Nations, he said. Danmark could build windmills to provide Father Christmas with power. Denmark says Father Christmass real home is Greenland, which will help, Denmark thinks, to strengthen its position in claiming the sovereignty over the Pole. ___4___.

Doesn't he already speak Danish? Boldt said frostily when asked if Father Christmas would be forced to learn Danish if Denmark won international recognition of its claim to the Pole. Last month's Arctic report said the region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe, partly because dark ground or water, once uncovered, soaks up more heat than ice or snow. Finland has been most fored by Father Christmas and it has about 500,000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland6. ___5___.

A．However, Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are his home.

B．Therefore the North Pole is the most attractive place in the world.

C．If Denmarks claim were accepted internationally, it would he the legal right to search for oil and gas at the North Pole.

D．One of them would be building a giant floating ice rink for the workshop if the Pole thaws.

E．Maybe Father Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi.

F．He may he to move from the North Pole within our children's lifetimes.

参考答案：

F 空1 前面两个句子讲的是，受全球气候变暖的影响，北极的冰正在融化，估计到2100年夏天北极将成为无冰的世界。北极越来越不适合圣诞老人居住了。于是，读者或许会猜想，在这种情况下，圣诞老人该怎么办呢？选项 F 说， He may he to move from the North Pole within our children's lifetimes，其意思与上文配合得天衣无缝，北极住不下去了，只能移居他处。因此 F 是答案。

A 空2前面一句说，好莱坞电影极地快车想让观众相信圣诞老人的故乡在北极。下面该填什么呢？选项A说， However, Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are his home，北欧国家不同意这种说法，都声称自己的国家才是圣诞老人的故乡。意思和上文配得上，但意思正好相反。所以，空2句子的句首用 however 与前一句接起来。A 是答案。

D 空3前面一句说，丹麦科学部发言人提出拯救圣诞老人的几个办法。空3的内容应该涉及具体的拯救办法。选项 D 符合这个要求。D 说其中一个办法是：如果北极的冰融化，就人工造个浮冰场地，上面可以承载圣诞老人的工场。从上下文意思的连接上，从 one of them (指代前一句的 ways) 的用词上，都可以确定，D 是答案。

C 选项 C 的句子一开始就用 Denmarks claim重复空4前面一句的 claiming (to the sovereignty over the Pole)，从词汇重复上，我们可以判断，填入空4的句子应该是选项 C 的句子。我们再从意思上分析一下。丹麦认为，说圣诞老人的故乡是格陵兰有助于加强丹麦声称自己拥有北极的主权的地位。选项 C 说，如果丹麦的这一要求得到国际社会认可的话，它就拥有合法的权利去勘测北极的石油和天然气。上下文意思是连贯的，所以 C 是答案。

E 空5前面一句说， Finland has been most fored by Father Christmas and it has about 500,000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland。当看到选项 E 中重复出现 Rovaniemi，就知道空5的位置上应该是选项 E 的句子。圣诞老人如此眷顾 Rovaniemi，每年约有50万游客来参观 Rovaniemi 的圣诞中心。E 的句子说 Maybe Father Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi (说不定圣诞老人已经移居罗瓦涅米了) ，是对前一句眷顾的颇有风趣的总结，也是对与空1的句子 He may he to move from the North Pole within our children's lifetimes 遥相呼应。选项 E 是本题的答案。
