Exploring the North Pole
People have always had the desire to explore new places.Explorers throughout history have been motivated by the prospect of fame and fortune. 1 .The first North Pole explorers were in search of the Northwest Passage, a way through the Arctic that would make trade easier for the country that discovered it. 2 , the world started seeing the Arctic as a frozen treasure chest.In fact, a US Geological Survey guesses that nearly 25 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas are buried in the Arctic, which is a big reason for the disagreements among the countries that are claiming the region for themselves.
There were occasional North Pole expeditions in the 18th century.In 1755, the British Parliament offered a reward to the first ship to go to the Pole. 3 .In 1908, American Frederick Albert Cook became the first person to claim to have reached the North Pole.But his countryman Robert Edwin Peary disputed the claim.Peary claimed that with a team of 24 men, 19 sleds and 133 sled dogs, he made the first visit to the North Pole, on April 6, 1909. 4 .The doubt rests mostly on the length of Peary's trip:37 days. 5 .However, in April, 2005, explorer Tom Avery recreated Peary's sled expedition with the same materials and supplies, and beat Peary's time by five hours.Some still doubt whether Peary actually made it to the North Pole, but he's now generally referred to be the first.
A.The North Pole isn't the coldest place on Earth
B.Most expeditions of the era took months—at least
C.But there's still some argument attached to the claim
D.However, it was until the early 1900s that things really got going
E.When these explorers came back with tales of diamonds and coal near the Pole
F.North Pole exploration is no exception
G.There continues to be many North Pole “firsts”
语篇导读 主题语境:人与自然/人与环境。本文为说明文,介绍了一些到北极去探险的探险家。
1.答案 F
解析 顺承关系。根据下一句可知,此处要讲述北极探险这个话题。F项(北极探险也不例外)符合语境。North Pole exploration呼应The first North Pole explorers,故选F项。
2.答案 E
解析 条件关系。根据下文可知,此处在讲述探险家们讲述的关于北极宝藏的故事让人憧憬。由此可知,E项(当这些探险家带着关于北极附近的钻石和煤的故事回来时)能够承接下文,符合语境。tales of diamonds and coal near the Pole呼应a frozen treasure chest,故选E项。
3.答案 D
解析 并列关系。根据下文以及本段叙述的顺序可知,此处是按照时间的顺序叙述的。D项中的the early 1900s呼应In 1908,故选D项。
4.答案 C
解析 解释关系。根据上句中的关键词claimed,利用关键词复现法可知,C项(但是这个声明还存在一些争议)符合语境,故选C项。
5.答案 B
解析 例证关系。根据上文可知,此处讲述人们质疑的原因。由此可知,B项(那个时代的大多数探险至少需要几个月的时间)正是人们质疑的一个原因,符合语境,故选B项。
Ⅴ.语法填空

语篇导读 主题语境:人与自我/完善自我。本文为说明文,介绍了人的潜力是无限的,但有两种让你无法发挥自己潜能的生活方式需要注意。
1.答案 where
解析 考查引导词。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词situation,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作抽象的地点状语,表示“在这种情况下”,用关系副词where引导。
2.答案 reaching
解析 考查非谓语动词。空处为非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语You之间是主谓关系,所以应使用现在分词作伴随状语。
3.答案 Unfortunately
解析 考查词性转换。句意:不幸的是,许多人并没有很好地利用他们真正的潜力,而是把它浪费在了那些没有充分利用他们时间和精力的任务上。空处在句中作评注性状语,修饰整个句子,用副词unfortunately(不幸地,遗憾地),另外,句首单词首字母大写。
4.答案 are
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。本句是倒装句,表方位的副词here置于句首引起完全倒装,此处讲述一般事实,应用一般现在时;主语是复数名词two ways,提示词是句中连系动词,应用复数形式。
5.答案 on/upon
解析 考查介词。focus on/upon关注,聚焦于,为固定搭配。
6.答案 thinking
解析 考查非谓语动词。we spend 6 (think) about it是定语从句,修饰先行词how much time,先行词在定语从句中作spend的宾语,构成固定搭配spend…(in) doing sth,表示“花时间做某事”。
7.答案 to fail
解析 考查非谓语动词。be afraid to do sth害怕做某事,为固定搭配。
8.答案 what
解析 考查引导词。句意:实际上,他们真正害怕的是意识到他们一直有能力实现自己想要的一切,但他们浪费了自己的时间和许多梦想。空处引导主语从句,且在从句中作宾语,表示“他们真正害怕的事情”,故应用连接代词what。
9.答案 dreams
解析 考查名词的数。形容词many作定语修饰复数名词,可数名词dream应用复数形式。
10.答案 yourself
解析 考查代词。句中主语You发出的动作施加在自己身上,应使用反身代词yourself。
Ⅵ.应用文写作
