18、xtra vitamins,so why waste money on them?In the modern Western world,many people are too busy to bother about eating properly.They throw anything into their stomachs,eating hurriedly and carelessly.The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.18.What does“Your body

21、lection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurleys pictures would be outstandingundoubtedly first-rate photo-journalismif they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难),by a cameraman who had

22、no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men

23、in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarcticas Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had

24、 died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scotts last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the worlds imag

25、ination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a one-time British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photo

26、grapher who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.21.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last week.B.They showed undersea sceneries.C.They were found by a cameraman.D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.答案D解析推理判断

27、题。根据文章第二段第二句可知,Frank Hurley的照片拍摄于1914年到1916年,大多数是在经历海难后,在没有生存的希望的情况下拍摄的,由此可判断它们记录了一次海难。22.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank Hurley.B.Ernest Shackleton.C.Robert Falcon Scott.D.Caroline Alexander.答案C解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“The journey was intended to achieve more than what Capta

28、in Robert Falcon Scott had done.”以及下句可知,1912年Robert Falcon Scott到达了南极,而Endurance航行的目的是超越他,但是遭遇了海难,由此可判断Robert Falcon Scott到达南极的时间更早。23.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creation.B.Scientific research.C.Money making.D.Treasure hunting.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句中的“a th

29、oroughly commercial effort”可知,Alexander认为那时的冒险完全是一种商业行为,也就是为了赚钱,因此可判断选C项。BRiding School:You can start horse-riding at any age.Choose private or group lessons any weekday between 9 a.m.and 8:30 p.m.There are 10 kilometers of tracks and paths for leisurely rides across farmland and open country.You wi

40、re various independent organizations offering similar activities.Students can take part in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.Anyone can register with such groups,which then organize courses,training and trips for all members.One of the most popular outdoor training prog

41、rammes in both the US and Britain,is Outward Bound(户外训练).It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.The courses are intended to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence,self-esteem(自尊)and character.As well as specialist courses s

42、uch as canoeing,leadership skills and sailing,participants can take part in week-long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.Michael Williams,an American student,took part in an Outward Bound course last year.He said:“We learned lots of first a

43、id skills,lots of natural history,lots of environmental facts,and took part in a wildlife preservation programme.Beyond that,my favourite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.” Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14.Students must be in general good health,b

44、ut do not need to be experienced in outdoor sports.There is no selection process;everyone is welcome,although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity.Most of the British courses take place in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.Another similar organization is the UK Su

45、rvival School,which includes courses on learning to live with the environment,sailing and winter survival.On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food,how to make fire and cook with it,to find and build a shelter,control survival life support,how to cross rivers,send off

46、 a distress signal,and to use compasses by day and night.According to the leaders,such adventures are “an awakening,an exploration into the unknown”.

52、t have names.In Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travellers,“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American

53、 Midwest,usually there are not many landmarks.There are no mountains,so the land is very flat(平坦的).In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distance.In Kansas or Iowa,for example,people will say,“Go north two miles.Turn east

54、,and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on the map:They measure distance by means of time,not miles.“How far away is the post office?” you ask.“Oh,” they answer,“Its about five minutes from here.” you say,“Yes,but how many miles away is it?” They dont kno

55、w.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language.Instead of giving you the direction,a Greek will often say,“Follow me.” Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesnt know the answe

56、r to your question.What happens in this situation?A New Yorker might say,“Sorry,I have no idea.” But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers,“I dont know.” People in Yucatan think that “I dont know” is impolite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A visitor can get very,very lost in Yucatan!One th
