单选题{{B}}Passage 18{{/B}}
We all know that it is possible for
ordinary people to make their homes on the equator (赤道), although often they may
feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole (北极)-we
know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and
me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the
scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men had been
traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for
thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent
time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to
learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole
than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar
region (which passenger planes do not make), but the weather, if we are flying
at a height of 5, 000 meters above the Pole, is a delight. At 4, 000 meters and
more above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the
sky as far as the eye can reach. In the tropics (热带), on the other hand, you are
not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or
20,000 meters. Planes can't climb as high or as quickly in cold
air as in warm air. Nor can clouds. (18) {{U}}In practice, this is an advantage to
the plane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region
and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds
down low.{{/U}}
