In 1916, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton made one of the first trips to Antarctica and barely survived. Now an adventurer named Tim Jarvis has announced plans to recreate Shackleton’s dangerous journey next month, hoping to raise awareness about climate change.
Shackleton wanted to lead the first journey across Antarctica, from the northern side to the south. But the adventure went off course when ice damaged his ship and he and the crew had to fight their way back to civilization.
With nothing but a lifeboat and a small amount of food, Shackleton and five of his 22-man crew sailed 800 miles through icebergs and freezing conditions, from Antarctica’s Elephant Islnd to a whaling station on an island called South Georgia. Once there, Shackleton was able to get help to save the crew members he had left behind months before..
Almost 100 years later, Jarvis plans to recreate the journey in the same kind of lifeboat that Shackleton was forced to use in 1916. the replica lifeboat is named after Alexandra Shackleton, the great explorer’s granddaughter, who first asked Jarvis to consider the trip.
Why take the trip Little was known about Antarctica at the time of Shackleton’s jouney. The journey gave the world important information about Antarctica’s climate and geography. Jarvis hopes to show how the continent’s icy environment has changed over the past hundred years because of climate change.

There are many challenges students face when learning to use a paper dictionary. All of these problems can solved by effective training.
Finding the right entry.
The first challenge is to find the word in the dictionary. For many words this is quite straightforward, but for others it is not. Often the form of the word that the student wants to look up may not appear where they expect it in the dictionary. For example, “walked”or”incomprehensible”may be found under he headwords”walk”and “comprehend”.Many students would recognize at once that”walked”would appear under the entry “walk”,but may not know that”incomprehensible ”might appear under””comprehend”
Finding the right meaning
Many words have several meanings such as “bank”or”duty”. Research strongly suggests that once the word form has been found, many students usually select the first of several meanings as the correct answer and leave the rest behind. Then they may not always be able to find the correct meaning they need.
Making sense of the entry
Sometimes there may not be enough information in the entry to help the students find what they want as there is not enough space to put all the information. This can make the students upset. And sometimes the information in the dictionary can help a student to use the word, for example by saying that the word requires a direct object, but is is not enough, some examples are needed for a better understanding.
71.According to the writer, we can learn to use a paper dictionary as long as we________.
A.buy a paper dictionary
B.have some training
C.realize some problems
72.If we can’t find the word unbelievable directly as a headword, we might find it under the headword________.
A.believe B.belief C.unbelieve
73.When it comes to a word with several meanings, in order to find the correct meaning we need, we had better________.
A.select the first of several meaning s and leave the rest behind
B.select the meaning listed in the middle of all the meanings
C.go through all the meanings and select the most suitable one
74.sometimes not all information has been provided in an entry because________
A.that dictionary is only for beginners
B.people who write the dictionary are not knowledgeable enough
C.the space for each entry is limited in a dictionary
75.The writer of this article suggests us learning________when learning to use a word.
A.the grammar rule B.a few examples C..both A and B
