Question

Norway — Ten Chinese college students arrived at the country’s Arctic（北极的） research base, the Yellow River Station, on Friday.

On Saturday, the students are expected to witness the end of four months of darkness in the area, as the sun makes a rare appearance.

During their four-day stay at the station, the students will meet and learn from some of China’s leading polar researchers. They were welcomed at the station yesterday by its director, He Jianfeng, who is an expert on marine micro-ecosystems.

The students will also visit the German and Norwegian stations and meet researchers there.

As for entertainment, the visitors will get the chance to play ice hockey at the world’s most northerly stadium.

Among the visitors is Zheng Li, a student majoring in telecommunications at Dalian Marinetime University.

“It is so exciting to see how the Chinese researchers work in the world’s most northerly laboratory,” she said.

“This opportunity is precious. Most people will never get the chance to travel so far from home and visit such an amazing place. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

Wu Jinyou, head of the Polar Research Institute of China, and the group’s leader, said, “I hope the students have not only a field trip to the Yellow River station, but are also touched by the devotion and spirit of the Chinese researchers here. I also expect in the future, some of them will choose to devote themselves to polar research and maybe even work with us.”

The students have been in Norway since February 28, and were given Arctic training before moving to the station.

The Arctic expedition is one of the several international cooperation and exchange activities forming the China Program for International Polar Year (2007- 2008). It was launched last March.

【名师点睛】

本文属于新闻类阅读理解。此类文章力求抓住读者的注意力，所以中心思想要出现在第一段。本文第三小题的答案即可从文章第一段中得出。这是新闻类阅读最大的一个特点。同时本文还属于记叙题材的新闻报道，新闻一般采用”倒金字塔”式结构（即先说结果，再说重要事实，最后说次要内容），但有的通讯叙述方比较灵活多变，有顺叙、倒叙、中间或许还会有插叙、补叙等叙述方法，这就要求我们在阅读时特别关注。 （叙述方式作用）方法小结

（1）顺叙（按事情发展先后顺序）脉络清楚、印象深。作用：叙事有头有尾，条理清晰，连贯性强。

（2）倒叙（先写结果，再交待前面发生的事。）作用：造成悬念、吸引读者，避免叙述的平板单调，增强文章的生动性。

（3）插叙（叙事时中断线索，插入相关另一件事。）作用：对叙事起补充衬托作用，丰富形象，突出中心。
