in the ship discovery, took place between 1901 and 1904 and was half funded by the governmenton this trip, scott and his party anchored discovery in mcmurdo soundross island where they built a simple roomduring the winter they conducted astronomical observationsin june the sun cannot be seen from within the antarctic circle and it is dark 24 hours dayin the spring, the weather improved and scott, dr wilson and ernest shackleton set offtowards, the south polethey had some sledge （雪橇） dogs but didnt really know how to use them, so they largely pulled the sledges themselves, scott traveled slightly further, much further than anyone before but it was a terrible journey in 1910, he sailed on another scientific voyage to the antarctic, this time in the terra nova, originally a whaler （捕鲸舰）this second expedition had less government support and many schools made collections for the expeditionwhile scott was sailing south on his second expedition, he heard the news that the norwegian, roald amundsen （1872-1928）, was going to antarctica and was likely to try to reach the south pole firstalthough amundsen was an experienced arctic explorer, scott was determined to get there firsthe headed to the south early in 191l, and set out towards the pole on november i from ross island during the second summer therehowever, on january 18, 1912 when they arrived, they found amundsen and his four norwegian companions had got there just over a month before themscotts men had been beatenon the way back, they encountered disaster and all of them diednear the end of the antarctic winter of 1912, their, bodies were found, their journals and papers were recoveredfollowing the news of his death, scott became a british hero, a status maintained for more than 50 yearsin the closing decades of the twentieth century, however, in a more skeptical age, the legend was reassessedfrom a previously unassailable position, scott became a figure of controversy, with questions raised about his competence and character60whats the passage mainly about?ascotts competitors on the scientific voyage to the antarcticbhumans expeditions to the antarctic in the 1900scscotts two

through trial and errorat one time or another we will encounter failureyou dont have to accept your failure if what you really want to achieve is successfor every achievement, there have been one or more failuresbut those who we call successful are those who refuse to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failurethe incandescent light （白炽灯） was invented after 1000 failureassuming he had stopped after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the result of such effort?any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not acceptedmoreover, everything in a microform today is a result of failure that is not acceptedany time your effort is not bring a desired result, you dont have to call it a failurecall it a chanllengewhat is the difference between the two? one is negative, and the other is positive; one motivates, and the other demotivateswhat you need is positive thinking and motivation to attain successfailure is an end thing; challenging is an open thingfailure means there is no way out, no altermative, but challenge is a question mark asking another way out of the situation, an alternative solution to the problem, the job at handkeep dreaming and moving; that is the solution to successa wise man once said if you cannot fly, runif you cannot run, walkif you cannot walk, crawl; just keep on movingif you fall down, you have to get up and start movingif not, other people will step on you to the way to their successwhat you call failure and abandon is what someone will

bannedheres whywe have no idea of the real impact they have on our environmentwhile theres currently no hard proof that environmental damage is being done by genetically modified foods, there are a few worrying and suspect events that may actually be tied to these productsmost important is the sudden loss of huge numbers of bee hivesbees are necessary to the pollination process for soybeans and many other food cropsits entirely possible that the law of unintended consequences has caused the loss of these extremely important insectstheres also no real way to prevent cross contamination （交叉污染） between modified crops and natural cropswhen neighboring fields are planted with different varieties of computable（可共存的） plants, there is a virtual guarantee of some cross pollination between the fieldswe have no idea of the real impact they have on human beingsthere is already documented evidence that genetically modified foods may be the cause of higher allergy （过敏） rates in children, its impossible to guess v/hat other effects they may eventually causei suspect that most people have forgotten the serious health scare and complete failure that occurred in 1989 that caused death or health problems for hundreds of peoplethe product causing the problem was l-tryptophan, an amino acid; commercially produced l-tryptophan is developed through a bacterial fermentation processone maker of the supplement developed a genetically modified strain of bacteria which was capable of producing higher quantities of l-tryptophanunfortunately, the process broke somewhere along the line with the genetically altered bacteria creating an altered form of the chemical which had devastating effects on people who consumed itsince there is no way to predict these kinds or changes, its both foolish and dangerous to introduce genetically modified products into the food chain.finally, theres no need for genetically modified foodsmost companies that produce these products will send out statistics about higher output per acre or plants that are more tolerant to negative conditionsbut the truth is that the claims, while at least partially true, are mostly rhetoricthese companies are really just looking for a way to increase their bottom line profitsthey may not actually intend to, damage the ecosystem or create new health problems for peoplebut in my opinion its not nice to fool mother natureshe may offer up a variety of severe surprises in response 68whats the structure of the passage?69the sudden loss of bee hives may be due to _ .aenvironmental pollution from human beings bgenetically modified products ccross-contamination between modified cropsdcross pollination between the fields 70which of the following words best describes genetically modified foods?arisky bdeadly. charmful dhealthy71most companies advocate the genetically modified products in order to _ _aincrease their output bsolve health problems cearn more money dprotect the ecosystem einternet access and power outlets available in most cafes in thedeveloped world might reduce your productivitya typical tale from store managers is of customers who buy a single cup of coffee or tea and occupy a four-seat table for eight or more hoursa store full of these people turns the shop into a silence broken only by the tapping of keyboard keysin others, however, customers use the network briefly, and the turnover is highcafe owners have talked about their discomfort for yearssome cafes founders started turning off wi-fi （无线网络） on the weekendsthe experiment led to success, they saidpeople who otherwise avoided the cafe came in, and the place became crowded on saturdays and sundaysin the years since, hundreds of articles have appeared about similar cases in which a coffee shop turns off the signal, and sometimes blocks electrical outletsnick bilton, the new york times bits blog editor, was banned from reading an electronic book a few days agothe actual cafe in oakland opened last year with lapton-free weekendsthe owner, sal bednarz, wrote in an email, i think its fascinating that weve allowed technology to enter so much of our lives that it can feel like an affront （冒犯） when
