体裁 记叙文 话题 南极洲旅行 词数 279 难度 ★★★☆☆ 建议时间 6分钟 （2016·新课标全国卷II, 阅读理解D篇）A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding — undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism — if 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 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 in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s 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 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. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a
onetime 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 photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley? A. They were made last week. sceneries.
C. They were found by a cameraman. adventure.
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text? A. Frank Hurley. C. Robert Falcon Scott.

D. They recorded a disastrous
B. They showed undersea
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage? A. Artistic creation. C. Money making.
B. Scientific research.
D. Treasure hunting.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。一本新的影集把一次不成功的南极洲的旅行带回到现实生活中,由此引出了历史上去南极洲探险的事迹。
33．D 【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的\fact, they were shot from 1914 through
1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难)\可知,这些照片记录了一次灾难性的冒险,故选D项。
