Section A
Directions:In
this
section,
you
are
going
to
read
a
passage
with
ten
statements attached to
it. Each statement contains information given in
one
of
the
paragraphs.
Identify
the
paragraph
from
which
the
information
is derived. You
may
choose a
paragraph
more than once.
Each
paragraph is
marked with a letter.
Answer the questions by marking the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Countries Rush for Upper
Hand in Antarctica
A) On a glacier-filled island with
fjords(
峡湾
)and elephant
seals,
Russia
has
built
Antarctica
’
s
first
Orthodox
church
on
a
bill
overlooking
its
research
base.
Less
than
an
hour
away
by
snowmobile.
Chinese
laborers
have updated the Great Wall Station, a
vital part of China
’
s plan
to
operate
five
basses
on
Antarctica,
complete
with
an
indoor
badminton
court
and sleeping quarters for 150 people.
Not to be outdone, India
’
s
futuristic
new
Bharathi
base,
built
on
stills(
桩子
)using
134
interlocking
shipping containers, resembles a
spaceship. Turkey and Iran have
announced plans to build bases, too.
B)
More
than
a
century
has
passed
since
explorers
raced
to
plant
their
flags at the bottom of the world, and
for decades to come this continent
is
supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve,
shielded from
intrusions
like
military
activities
and
mining
.
But
an
array
of
countries
are
rushing
to
assert
greater
influence
here,
with
an
eye
not
just
towards
the
day
those
protective
treaties
expire,
but
also
for
the
strategic
and
commercial that already exist.

C) The newer
players are stepping into what they view as a
treasure
house
of
resources.
Some
of
the
ventures
focus
on
the
Antarctic
resources
that
are
already
up
for
grabs,
like
abundant
sea
life.
South
Korea,
which
operates state-
of
–
the-art bases here, is
increasing its fishing of
krill(
磷虾
)
，
found in
abundance in the Southern Ocean, while Russia
recently frustrated efforts to create
one of the world
’
s largest
ocean
sanctuaries here.
D) Some scientists are
examining the potential for harvesting
icebergs
form
Antarctica,
which
is
estimated
to
have
the
biggest
reserves
of fresh water on
the planet.
Nations
are also pressing ahead
with
space
research and satellite projects
to expand their global navigation
abilities.
E) Building on a Soviet-era foothold,
Russia is expanding its
monitoring
stations for Glonass, its version of the Global
Positioning
System(GPS). At least three
Russian stations are already operating in
Antarctica,
part
of
its
effort
to
challenge
the
dominance
of
the
American
GPS,
and
new
stations
are
planned
for
sites
like
the
Russian
base,
in
the
shadow of the Orthodox Church of the
Holy Trinity.
F)
Elsewhere
in
Antarctica,
Russian
researchers
boast
of
their
recent
discovery
of
a
freshwater
reserve
the
size
of
Lake
Ontario
after
drilling
through
miles
of
solid
ice.
“
You
can
see
that
we
’
re
here
to
stay,
”
said
Vladimir
Cheberdak,
57,
chief
of
the
Bellingshausen
Station,
as
he
sipped
tea
under
a
portrait
of
Fabian
Gottlieb
von
Bellingshausen,
a
high-ranking
officer
in
the
Imperial
Russian
Navy
who
explored
the
Antarctic
coast
in
1820.
G)
Antarctica
’
s
mineral,
oil
and
gas
wealth
are
a
longer-term
prize.
The
treaty
banning
mining
here,
shielding
c
oveted(
令人垂诞的
)reserves
of
iron ore, coal and
chromium, comes up for review in 2048. Researchers
recently
found
kimberlite(
金伯利岩
)
deposits
hinting
at
the
existence
of
2

diamonds. And while assessments vary
widely, geologists estimate that
Antarctica holds at least 36 billion
barrels of oil and natural gas.
H) Beyond the Antarctic
treaties, huge obstacles persist to tapping
these resources, like drifting icebergs
that could jeopardize offshore
platforms. Then there is
Antarctic
’
s remoteness, with
some mineral
deposits found in
windswept locations on a continent that is larger
the
Europe
and
where
winter
temperatures
hover
around
minus
55
degrees
Celsius.
I) But advances in
technology might make Antarctica a lot more
accessible three decades from now. And
even before then, scholars warn,
the
demand for resources in an energy-hungry world
could raise pressure
to
renegotiate
Antarctica
’
s
treaties,
possibly
allowing
more
commercial
endeavours here
well before the prohibitions against them expire.
The
research
stations
on
King
George
lsland
offer
a
glimpse
into
the
long
game
on
this
ice-blanketed
continent
as
nations
assert
themselves,
eroding
the
sway long held by
countries like the United States, Britain.
Australia
and New Zealand.
J) Being stationed in
Antarctica involves adapting to life on the
planet
’
s
driest,
windiest
and
coldest
continent,
yet
each
nation
manages
to make itself at
home. Bearded Russian priests offer regular
services
at the Orthodox church for the
16 or so Russian speakers who spend the
winter at the base, largely polar
scientists in fields like glaciology
and meteorology. Their number climbs to
about 40 in the warmer summer
months.
China
has
arguably
the
fastest
growing
operations
in
Antarctica.
It opened its
fourth station last year and is pressing ahead
with plans
to
build
a
fifth.
It
is
building
its
second
ice-breaking
ship
and
setting
up
research
drilling
operations
on
an
ice
dome
13,422
feet
above
sea
level
that is one the
planet
’
s coldest places.
Chinese officials say the
expansion in
Antarctica prioritises scientific research. But
they also
acknowledge that concerns
about
“
resource
security
”
influence their
