Many are surprised to learn that Antarctica (南极) is nearly twice the size of the United States. The name Antarctica was coined to mean" 【S1】______ to the Arctic (北极)." It is just that in many ways.

Partly because of this climate difference, the land animals and plants of the two regions are very different. On the 【S6】______ of Antarctica, there are very few plants. In the Arctic there are many plants.
Ice is the great 【S7】______ of Antarctica. More than 4.5 million square miles of ice sheet 【S8】______ the area. Great rivers of ice push down the mountains. Antarctica is the 【S9】______ of about 85 percent of the total world supply of ice.

I) opposite J) plants K) decrease L) average
M) climate N) cover O) temperature
