【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。雷诺夫·费恩斯是一位英国探险家,他曾30多次带领探险队前往北极、南极、阿拉伯沙漠、尼罗河和其他许多遥远的地方。
1.who/that [解析]考查定语从句的关系词。句意:雷诺夫·费恩斯爵士是一位英国人,他曾带队对北极和南极、阿拉伯沙漠、尼罗河和其他许多遥远的地方进行了30多次探索。分析句子可知,此处是限制性定语从句,先行词Sir Ranulph Fiennes指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
2.places [解析]考查名词的数。句意见上题解析。由空前many other可知,此处为名词复数形式。故填places。
3.the [解析]考查冠词。句意:20世纪70年代末,费因斯与查尔斯·伯顿一起领导了第一次地球极地航行。根据句意可知,此处为时间状语in the late 1970s,表示“20世纪70年代晚期”。故填the。
4.to complete [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:这次52 000英里的探险花了三年时间才完成。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语“sth. takes/took+时间段+to do sth.”意为“花时间做某事”,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to complete。
5.called [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:费恩斯的杰克罗素狗,名叫波西,和他们在一起。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,call和dog之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词形式。故填called。
6.successfully [解析]考查副词。句意:这次考察于1982年8月29日成功结束。此处修饰动词ended,应用副词successfully,作状语。故填successfully。
7.found [解析]考查动词的时态。句意:1992年,费恩斯和其他人在阿曼的鲁卜哈利沙漠中发现了失落之城乌巴尔。根据句中的时间状语In 1992可知,应用一般过去时。故填found。
8.pulling [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:1993年,费恩斯和迈克·斯特劳德博士首次在无人资助的情况下徒步穿越南极洲,每人拉着一辆500磅重的雪橇。分析句子可知,此处为独立主格结构,each man和动词pull为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词形式。故填pulling。
9.longest [解析]考查形容词的比较等级。句意:这次九十七天的旅行是历史上最长的极地旅行。根据句意以及空前的the可知,此处为形容词的最高级形式,the longest“最长的”修饰polar journey,符合句意。故填longest。
10.as [解析]考查固定短语。句意:《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》称费因斯是世界上最伟大的探险家。根据句意可知,此处为固定短语describe sth. as sth.“把……称为……”。 故填as。

Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was February 16,2019,at 8 a.m.when my girlfriend,Jessika,and I arrived at Utah's Zion National Park.We'd traveled from our home in Mesa,Arizona,to hike the ninemilelong Subway Trail,so named because of its amazing tunnelshaped canyon(峡谷).Halfway through our hike,which included climbing over rocks and walking across streams,the sunshine gave way to a light snow.Soon after,we reached the redcolored walls of the Subway Trail.A small pond stood in our way,with the trail continuing on the other side.Because the pond looked shallow,we began to wade(蹚水) through,with Jessika leading the way.
About five feet from the edge,her front foot sank into the sandy bottom.Then she fell forward and both legs started to sink.I dashed to her,grabbed her under the shoulders,and pulled her out.She climbed back to shore.But now I was sinking.The mud came all the way up to my right thigh and my left calf(小腿肚).I freed my left leg but couldn't move my right.
Jess handed me a long stick we'd picked up earlier in the hike.I put it down the side of my leg and tried to move and pull it out.Nothing.I was trapped in quicksand(流沙).
Jessika started scooping(舀) sand with both hands,but it was refilling faster than she could pull it out.“Don't bother,” I told her.“You're just wasting your energy.” While I was no longer sinking,I wasn't getting out,either.
We couldn't call for help because the closest rescue team was back at the trailhead,five hours away from us.I told Jessika she had to hike back and call for help.She was scared—she had only ever hiked with me and was fearful of hiking alone on a trail the National Park Service calls “very tough”.But we were out of options.

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Thirty minutes after she left,it started to snow heavily. It was freezing cold.I zipped up my jacket and pulled my head inside.At some point I nodded off to sleep.I didn't know how long I had slept,but I woke up with my upper body slipping backward into the quicksand.I quickly planted my stick into the dry ground to stop my fall.Wet and exhausted,I couldn't even feel my right leg.It had been hours since Jessika left,and it was getting dark.Maybe this time I wasn't going to make it,I thought desperately to myself.
Paragraph 2:
Just as I was going to give up,a flashlight shone across my eyes.It must be the rescuers! I yelled for help at once.Jessika appeared in the darkness and rushed to me in a great hurry,followed by the rescue team.They gathered around me very soon and started working.The team held me under each shoulder and tried to pull me out with the help of some tools.When they pulled,it felt as if my leg were being ripped off.Finally,I was saved out of the quicksand.Tears welling up in our eyes,Jessika and I thanked the team with all our hearts.I was trapped for so long that I thought for sure I would die.But I didn't.
