单元话题 　　“困境与勇气”属于课程标准中“人与自我”的主题语境。本单元讲述的是探险史上一个了不起的、值得百年颂扬的“纪录”。虽然那是一次失败的航行，但却成为人类历史上英勇和顽强斗志的典范。在朝不保夕、生命希望几近为零的情况下，主人翁临危不惧、保持队员士气、维系团队精神的领袖特质正是我们每个人都需要学习和坚守的。 单元核心素养 话题美文赏读 I decided to ski to the North Pole.It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole.Back in 1996，there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge.I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds，so I sent off for the application form.
