    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(海滩), 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 be 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.

    1.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

    2.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

    A. Frank Hurley B. Ernest Shackleton

    C. Robert Falcon Scott D. Caroline Alexander

    3.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

    A. Artistic creation

    B. Scientific research

    C. Money making

    D. Treasure hunting

    完形填空，阅读下面短文，选出最佳选项。

    As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to_______out at home with even the simplest things.

    Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother _______me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of_______. Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, _______for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very _______to help her bring the groceries into the house. _______I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the _______ for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.

    Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt _______ about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my _______. But I also realized that once I did change, there would be no going back. _______ I took on more responsibility, my parents would start_______ more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small _______ would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more _______, caring and giving young man.

    I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) _______ to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the _______, I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning _______. Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and _______ back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!

    Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the_______ I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could _______ on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.

    Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest _______ out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.
