问题      At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass crisscrossed (交叉往来) by mountain ranges whose【C1】______ and height are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. A 1 000-mile【C2】______ of the coastline has never been【C3】______ by any ship. Man has【C4】______ , on foot, less than one percent of its area.
     Antarctica differs slightly【C5】______ the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with【C6】______ packed ice and surrounded by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent 【C7】______ as large as Europe and Australia 【C8】______ , centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most【C9】______ water areas of the world—the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean.
     The continental ice pack is more than two【C10】______ high at its center; thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated (冰冻的) than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air falls  【C11】______the land with such force that it 【C12】______ the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders【C13】______ those regions whose【C14】______ at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited.【C15】______ , more than a million persons live【C16】______ 2 000 miles of the North Pole in an area that【C17】______ most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia a【C18】______ rich in forest and mining industries. Except for a handful of【C19】 ______ stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a(an)【C20】______ tree, industry, or settlement.  
【C3】
选项 A、collapsed
B、reached
C、mapped
D、touched
答案B
解析 逻辑衔接题 。上一句说这块大陆的大部分在地图上还是空白，也就是说“船只、人类都还没有到达过”。所以选B “抵达”。A “撞击”；C “用地图标注”；D “触摸”。C 和D 在意思上基本与文章相符，但由于by后面跟船只，而船只是不可能去绘图或是触摸的。
