Polar habitats cover the top and bottom of planet Earth at the North and South Poles. The North Pole is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There isn’t any land here, just a group of continually shifting ice sheets. Parts of Canada and Greenland are near the North Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. This area has land, but it’s completely covered with a layer of ice that’s almost 3 miles thick. The polar regions have two seasons: summer and winter. In the summer, the sun shines 24 hours a day, but it never gets high enough above the horizon to warm things up, so even summers are pretty cold. It’s dark all winter because the sun doesn’t rise during those months of the year. Fierce continuous winds make it feel even colder. It’s much too cold and dry for trees to grow in most areas of the Arctic, and there is no room for their roots, because just under the surface of the ground there is always a layer of ice, called permafrost. You won’t find trees in Antarctica, but some types of small shrubs, lichens, mosses, and algae are able to grow in the harsh climate. Polar bears and arctic foxes are adapted to the extreme weather of the Arctic region. Walruses and humpback whales live in the Arctic ocean. Several kinds of penguins, including the emperor penguin, live in Antarctica, and so do walruses and narwhals. Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Polar bears and penguins are well-adapted to their environments. B. The North and South Poles have distinct geographical features. C. The Arctic and Antarctic regions have unique and harsh climates. D. Permafrost prevents tree growth in the Arctic. Question 32: Why can’t trees grow in the Arcitc? A. Because the permafrost prevents the roots from growing B. Because the sun doesn’t rise most of the time. C. Because shrubs and lichens grow instead of trees D. Because the winds make the weather even colder Question 33: What animals can be found in both the North and South Poles? A. Polar bears B. Emperor penguins C. Humpback whales D. Walruses Question 34: Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE about the polar habitats?
