Antarctica’s vast, frozen, barren landscape has beckoned scholars and【C1】________alike for more than a century. Indeed, the history of【C2】________on the continent is as much about hunger as heroism, as Jason Anthony explores in his book. "Hunger," Anthony writes, "was the one spice every expedition carried."
Think those aboard that Russian research vessel and Chinese icebreaker that just spent several days stuck in the Antarctic ice had it rough? The【C3】________pales compared to the legend of what British explorer Ernest Shackleton went through.
In 1914, on his way to try to cross the continent (he never made it), Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, got trapped by ice—then crushed—in the Weddell Sea. So there he was, 1,000 miles from the【C4】________humans, with no way to call for help,【C5】________on the ice with his 28-man crew for about a year. It was nearly another year before all were rescued.
Frank Hurley, the expedition’s photo grapher, wrote of men "crazed by their privations (困苦)." Their【C6】________and sleeping hours filled with dreams of food—【C7】________dumplings and other carbohydrates. In the meantime, they【C1】________on tinned goods they’d brought with them and plenty of hoosh— "the bleak Antarctic soup," as Anthony calls it, "of meat and snow".
The meat in question was often seal or penguin—thousands of the animals gave their lives to feed the ambitions of those early continental explorers. And not all were gorged and【C8】________without qualms (良心谴责). Carl Skottsberg, a botanist on an early 1900s Swedish expedition that【C10】________ransacked (洗劫) the newly laid eggs of Adelie penguins, seemed to be warding off critics when he wrote: "How many of my readers know what it means to lie in cold, and darkness, and hunger, week after week?"
A)adventurers E)exploration I) ordeal M) survived
B) civilized F) hungrily J) poverty N) virtually
C) dying G) murdered K) slaughtered O) waking
D) especially H) nearest L) stranded [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
O
解析
形容词辨义题。根据空格后的并列成分sleeping以及所修饰的名词hours可知,此处应填入一个与sleeping形式相同的形容词。备选词汇中,waking和dying均符合要求。dying意为“垂死的”,不符合语境;waking意为“醒着的”,强调船员无时无刻不渴望食物,符合语境,故选O。
