必修2　UNIT 1　课时作业(一)　主题阅读集群训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·广州模拟)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 traveling 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 source of extreme danger. My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Emest 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. 1．Why did the author begin his adventure tour?

C．They were attacked by a storm. D．They were rescued by explorers. 4．What is the best title for the text?

Not so fast, says a recent report from the French­based Shit Project.According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year.Watching a half­hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions.That's like driving 6.28 kilometers.And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers (where videos are stored) there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the news media. Streaming is only expected to increase as we become_more_enamored_of our digital devices (设备) and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it to increase.Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online. You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say.For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time.If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy.Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi­Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi­Fi in your home if you're not using your devices. 5．What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in? A．The environmental effects of driving private cars. B．The improvements on environmental awareness. C．The environmental impacts of streaming services. D．The change in the way people seek entertainment. 6．What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Get more skeptical of. B．Become more aware of. C．Ge more worried about. D．Feel much crazier about. 7．What can we infer about the use of streaming services? A．Its environmental effects are worsening. B．It is being reduced to protect the planet.
