American professional athlete Colin O39。Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to bee the first person to ski across the remote continent alone. Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O39。Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O39。Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33yearold spent 54 days skiing the world39。s coldest continent while pulling a 300pound sled(雪橇) with supplies. Instead of leaving the harsh environment after pleting the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world39。s largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to plete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O39。Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, being the world39。s second person to plete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a race. Besides, the 49yearold British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, I didn39。t want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I pleted it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry39。s name on it. After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.(1)What do Colin O39。Brady and Louis Rudd have in mon? A.They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.B.They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.C.This is the first time that they have arrived at the South pole.D.They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.(2)What do you know about the first leg(第一段賽程) of the race?

A.He used to encourage O39。 Brady to explore the Antarctic.B.He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016.C.He died while he was attempting to cross the Antarctic alone.D.He helped Louis Rudd plete the historic adventure.(4)How did the two adventurers return to the South Pole scientific research station? A.On foot.B.By air.C.By land.D.By water.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,兩個冒險家在無人幫助的情況下獨自滑雪穿越南極大陸,但是兩個人的目的不同。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“A thrilling polar petition between two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功績).”以及“with the aim to bee the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.”可知,兩人的目標都是成為滑雪穿越南極洲的第一人,并且兩人都獲得成功,這是他們的共同之處,故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first.
