必修第一册　UNIT 2　TRAVELLING AROUND

题型组合练——阅读理解＋完形填空＋应用文写作

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

As a boy, I wanted to go to the South Pole. As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.

I was travelling with a film crew from Northern Ireland, following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who, in the 1850s, sailed from Scotland to the Arctic. As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world.

As we sailed north, icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat. Finally, we reached our destination — English Bay, where Dufferin landed — and stepped off onto the horseshoe­shaped beach.

This was what I'd dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. However, for many early polar explorers, the results were far less pleasant. The south, in particular, was the source of extreme danger.

My childhood interest in the South Pole was fuelled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Ernest Shackleton. He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well­known: he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole.

So why do explorers put themselves at such risk?

Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans”. “With a view over shining lands covered by ice­sheets of inconceivable extent, you have the feeling of living over the control of death，” said Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer.

On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm. We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature. We should be grateful for the great explorers' spirit and stories. I know I am.
