1.Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.
更严峻的困难包括冰冻的天气条件和大风暴。
(1) difficulty既可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词。作可数名词时，difficulty通常用复数，表示具体的概念，即各种困难、难题、难事等。如：

The band played many songs, including some of my favorites.

2.It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
句中的to take in air为动词不定式短语，在句中作主语。动词不定式作主语体现名词特征。例如：
To know the main facts is not enough.
了解主要事实是不够的。
说明：动词不定式作主语时往往用形式主语it替代，然后将不定式置于句尾。例如：
It's important for us to master English.
