问题                    Voyage to Antarctica
    Antarctica is not an easy place to get to, but increasing numbers of people visit Antarctica every year. People join the organized voyage guided by experts that are a mixture of seasoned seafarers, and ice or wildlife experts.
    Passenger ships of many different sizes sail to Antarctica. The choice of ship can make a big difference to your journey and experience.
    First of all, Antarctic voyages are not like the other, more well-known, trips to warmer climates that have discos and other types of entertainment. The larger the ship, however, the more likely it will be that entertainment is provided.
    What you will find on the voyage are a number of experienced cruise guides working on the ship. They will tell you about various aspects of Antarctic history and natural history.
    Rules made by the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO) cover such things as the size of the cruise ship allowed to enter Antarctic waters and also personal conduct at landing sites in Antarctica. This is a voluntary organization and it is well respected. You should always make sure that the ship / tour company you use to go to Antarctica is a member of the IAATO. One of the main rules that will affect your visit is that only 100 passengers at any one time may be landed in any one place in Antarctica. If you are on a small ship of up to 100 passengers, then you have the chance to go ashore every time. If the ship is larger, then there will be less opportunity for landings. Surprisingly, though, there are a number of people who go to Antarctica and never leave the ship: the choice is obviously yours.
If you want to go ashore as often as possible, you should choose a passenger ship that
选项 A、is fully equipped
B、is not very large
C、is a member of the IAATO
D、goes to Antarctica in summer
答案B
解析 细节题。最后一段中提到：If you are on a small ship of up to 100 passengers, then you have the chance to go ashore every time．If the ship is larger, then there will be less opportunity for landings．因此起决定作用的是船的大小, 而不是是否fully equipped, 即A选项错误；选项C, 由You should always make sure that the ship／tour company you use to go to Antarctiea is a member of the IAATO．可以得知所有去南极的航船都是IAATO成员, 但这并不能确保你想上多少次岸就上多少次(go ashore as often as possible)；D选项文章并未涉及。
