参考答案
Part Ⅰ
1.“Small wages” means very low salary.Definitely many people who don’t care much about money and pursue their dream of adventure will apply for the job.
2.“Bitter cold” means extremely cold or freezing cold.The person who must be fit and adapt to the extreme weather conditions could overcome the bitter cold.
3.He is looking for men who were not interested in money or comfort,but in honour and achievement,which can’t be bought.
4.I would like to join an expedition like this.Although it would be extremely tough,the sense of achievement I would get from doing it would be worth it.I don’t think I could get the same feeling from anything else.

同时第一篇日记关于Blackborow的描写: “But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went...” From the sentence we can infer Blackborow is so determined to join the expedition.
