Question

 

 Scott and his four companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had    36     them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After   37    the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves    38    they started the 950-mile journey back.

The journey was unexpectedly    39     and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly    40    . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had     41    to mark their way home. To make things    42    . Evans, whom they had all thought of    43     the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having     44    along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.

The four who were     45    pushed on at the best speed they could    46    . Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his    47     feet; at night his feet swelled（腫脹） so large that he could    48     put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great    49     . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that      50    could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him     51    a few more miles, until it was time to put up the   52      for another night.

The following morning,     53    the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be     54     some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out    55     into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions

Answer 1

36.D 

解析：挪威人在比賽中勝過了他們，應該用beat sb in the race。而win是指贏得某項比賽，后跟比賽項目或獎項。

37.C 

解析：  放置國旗一般是把它豎起來或固定好。Put是一般地隨意地置放； lay是平躺，平放；而plant則有種植，固定的意思。

38.D 

解析： 拍照的動作應該發(fā)生在豎起國旗之后，開始返回之前。

39.D 

解析： 從下文來看，返回的旅程充滿了艱險，并有人員的傷亡，應該是出乎意料的緩慢。

40.C 

解析： 去南極探險一般在極晝期間，不存在日出日落的現(xiàn)象，可以排除A、B。另外，風雪彌漫，找不到回家的標記，可以推測出是陰天，太陽極少出現(xiàn)，所以選C。

41.C 

解析： 石頭是有意設(shè)置的作為返回的標記的，所以應選擇有這方面含義的set up。

42.D 

解析： 人員的損失使情況變的更糟，A、B之意背道而弛，不予考慮。C是原級，只表達內(nèi)心的愁苦。所以D是符合上下文的最佳選項。

43.C 

解析： think of as是一個固定搭配，意思是“把……看作，以為……是”

44.B 

解析： 一個強壯的人掉進了冰窟，肯定要掙扎著生還。Struggle along意思是“掙扎著活下去”。

45.A

解析： 和遇難者相比，這四個人算是幸存者（left），但并沒有人救（save）他們。

46.A 

解析：他們的行進速度是由他們自己支配的，所以用manage。

47.B 

解析：從下文看他的腳已被凍傷，所以此處他所遭受的正是凍腳之痛。

48.A 

解析： 腳已腫脹，第二天仍需在冰雪中行走，即使費力也得穿靴，而不是never（從不）或 seldom（罕見）。

49.A 

解析：Captain Oates是一個堅強的人，他是在腳被凍傷的情況下忍痛行走，而非其它原因。be in great pain就指的是“承受極大的疼痛”。

50.D 

解析： 隊長擔心他的緩慢行動影響了其他人的自救。那么其余的，其他的，應該用the others。

51.D

解析：  隊員們拒絕把隊長一個人留下，而是繼續(xù)幫助他。表示動作的持續(xù)，此處非on莫屬。

52.B 

解析： 野外宿營，需要支起帳篷。Put up 意思是“支起，搭起”，C、D不需要put up。所以選B

解析：（帳篷）是最恰當?shù)摹?/p>

53.A

解析： 此處用while來引導時間狀語，表示主句和從句動作同時發(fā)生。

54.D 

解析：may be gone表示走開（一段時間），這是隊長的一個委婉的說法。

55.C 

解析：從文章看，他是獨自走進風雪中，希望以自己的死來換取同伴們的生。不是worriedly（擔心地，為難地），也不是patiently（忍耐地）。
