[词汇注解] <1>captain/ˈkæptIn/n.上校；上尉；队长；组长；船长；机长 <2>on the way to 在去……的途中 奔向南极的比赛 1910年6月1日，罗伯特·福尔肯·斯科特上校离开伦敦，开始了他的南极之旅。在去往南极洲的途中，他收到了挪威探险家罗尔德·阿蒙森的消息，说他也要去南极洲。于是，奔向南极的比赛就开始了！ During the polar<3> summer of 1910～1911, both teams organised food bases<4> in preparation for their journeys the next year.①Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously<5> for spring. ②Amundsen was the first to leave on 8 September,1911.He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges<6> and all his men were on skis<7>．Because of this, he made rapid progress.Scott left on 1 November and soon had problems.First, his two sledges broke down<8> and then the horses began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold.After a while, Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves. Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December, 1911 and put a Norwegian flag there.Then he prepared for the return journey.Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base on 25 January, 1912, ten days ahead of their planned schedule. Scott finally arrived at the Pole with four team members on 17 January, 1912. They were shocked when they saw the Norwegian flag.Scott wrote in his diary： “Well, we have now lost the goal of our ambition<9> and must face 800 miles of hard pushing—and goodbye to most of our dreams.” The return journey was one of the worst in the history of exploration<10>．The men were soon very tired and were running out of food.The weather conditions were terrible.Scott started to realise their hopeless situation： “We are very cheerful<11>， but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess.③Putting on our shoes in the morning is getting slower and slower.” <3>polar/ˈpəʊlə/adj.极地的，地极的 <4>base/beIs/n.基地，大本营；基础 vt.以……为基地 food bases 食品储备点 <5>anxiously/ˈæŋkʃəsli/ adv.焦虑地；不安地 <6>sledge/sledʒ/n.雪橇 <7>ski/skiː/n.滑雪板 vi.滑雪 <8>break down 停止运转，出故障 <9>ambition/æmˈbIʃən/ n．抱负，雄心；追求，夙愿 <10>exploration/ˌekspləˈreIʃən/n.探险；探索 <11>cheerful/ˈtʃIəfəl/ adj.高兴的，兴高采烈的 在1910～1911年的极地的夏季，两支队伍都建了食品储备点，为来年的旅程做准备。① 然后漆黑的极地冬夜开始了。 斯科特和阿蒙森焦急地等待春天的到来。 ② 1911年9月8日，阿蒙森第一个动身。 他用几队狗拉雪橇，所有的队员都在滑雪板上行进。因此，他进展很快。11月1日，斯科特动身，但很快就遇到了麻烦。先是他的两辆雪橇坏了，后来马匹开始在大雪和严寒的天气下出现严重问题。过了一阵子，斯科特和他的队员不得不自己推雪橇。 1911年12月14日，阿蒙森到达南极，在那里插上了挪威国旗。然后他准备返回。1912年1月25日，阿蒙森和他的团队提前10天安全抵达了他们出发的基地。 1912年1月17日，斯科特和四名队员终于到达了南极。 当看到挪威国旗时，他们非常震惊。斯科特在日记中写道： “好吧，我们现在已经失去了雄伟的目标，而且还得面对800 英里的艰苦行进——并且要跟我们大多数人的梦想说再见。” 他们的回程是探险史上最糟糕的旅程之一。队员们很快就精疲力竭，食物也快吃完了。天气非常糟糕。斯科特开始意识到他们的处境令人绝望： “我们(看上去)很高兴，但我能猜到每个人内心里的感受。③ 大家早上鞋子穿得越来越慢。 ” However, on their way back they found time to look for rocks.They carried twenty kilos of rocks all the way<12> with them.Later, these rocks proved<13> that at one time<14> in the distant<15> past, the continent<16> of Antarctica was covered by plants. Then disaster came.Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died after a bad fall.The next to go was Captain Oates, who was having great difficulty walking.Scott recorded his death： “He said, ‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’ …We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to stop him, we knew that it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman.We all hope to meet the end<17> with a similar spirit, and certainly the end is not far.” Scott and two of his team members carried on<18> and got within eleven miles of one of their food bases.But then a terrible storm started and they could not leave their tent<19>．Scott spent some of his last hours writing.He wrote a letter full of sadness to his wife Kathleen： “I could tell you lots and lots about this journey.What stories you would have for the boy…but what a price<20> to pay.” Scott's diary also told the story of their end： “We are getting weaker and weaker and the end can't be far.It seems a pity, but ④I do not think I can write more.” The news of Scott's death shocked the world.Even Amundsen was moved by Scott's death saying “Captain Scott left a record, for honesty<21>， sincerity<22>， for bravery<23>， for everything that makes a man”．Scott had failed to win the race to the Pole, but the great courage shown by Scott and his men made them heroes. <12>all the way 一路上；自始至终 <13>prove/pruːv/vt.证明；证实 <14>at one time 曾经有一个时期，一度 <15>distant/ˈdIstənt/ adj.久远的；遥远的 in the distant past 很久以前，遥远的过去 <16>continent/ˈkɒntInənt/n.洲，大洲；大陆 <17>meet the end 过世，死去 <18>carry on 继续移动 <19>tent/tent/n.帐篷 <20>price 在此意为“代价”。 <21>honesty/ˈɒnəsti/n.坦诚；诚实，正直 <22>sincerity/sInˈserəti/ n．真诚，真挚，诚实 <23>bravery/ˈbreIvəri/ n．勇气；勇敢的行为 然而，返程途中，他们还花时间找岩石。他们一路上带着二十公斤的石头。后来，通过这些石块可以证实，在遥远的过去，南极洲曾经被植被覆盖。 然后灾难来了。埃德加·埃文斯得了一种可怕的疾病，重重地跌倒后去世了。下一个离去的是奥茨船长，他连走路都很困难。斯科特记下了他的死亡： “他说，‘我要出去一下，可能会待上一会儿。’……我们知道可怜的奥茨正走向死亡，尽管我们曾试图阻止他，但我们都知道这是一个勇敢的人、一个英国绅士的行为。我们都希望能以同样的精神挺到最后，我们也确实快走到最后了。” 斯科特和两名队员继续向前，到达距离食品储备点不足11英里的地方，但随后爆发了一场可怕的风暴，他们无法离开帐篷。在他生命的最后几个小时，斯科特花时间写下一些文字。 他写了一封充满悲伤的信给妻子凯瑟琳： “关于这次旅行我有太多太多的事情想告诉你。很多你愿意给儿子讲的故事……但付出了多大的代价啊。” 斯科特的日记也讲述了他们的结局： “我们越来越虚弱，死亡可能不远了。非常遗憾，但④ 我想我无法继续写下去了 。” 斯科特死亡的消息震惊了全世界。甚至阿蒙森也被斯科特的离世所触动，他说：“斯科特上校将永载史册，因为他诚实、真诚、勇敢，并拥有一个男人该有的一切。”斯科特没能赢得南极比赛，但斯科特和他的队员表现出的巨大勇气使他们成为英雄。 Step One　Fast reading Ⅰ.Read the passage quickly and fill in the following blanks with suitable words.
