2017高考英语湖北省襄阳市统考试题】B
It is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited (有人居住的)settlement in the world with the average temperature for January standing at -50.Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.Surprisingly, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman. Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition(营养失调)is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients.
Unsurprisingly, locals are accustomed to the weather and unlike in other countries-where heavy snow brings everything grinding to a halt, Oymyakon's school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52.
There are few modern conveniences in the village-with many buildings still having outdoor toilets-and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood.If the power stops, the town shuts down in about five hours, andthe pipes freeze and crack.
