理清故事脉络，关注主旨升华
本文是一篇叙事类记叙文。此类记叙文一般按时间顺序推进，其结构通常是交代事情的背景和起因——叙述事情的经过——陈述事情的结果并进行评价。本文主要讲述了两位极地探险家——来自英国的Captain Robert Scott和来自挪威的Roald Amundsen去南极的过程，详细描述了两队南极之旅前的准备、到达南极目的地的过程和时间，以及Captain Robert Scott和队员的回程。其中最后一段中通过使用引言的手法对斯科特进行高度评价，从而使文章主旨得到升华：虽然Scott探险队并未赢得胜利，但他们所表现出的不屈不挠、顽强勇敢的精神赢得了世界的赞誉与尊重。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously for spring.
赏析：句中使用副词anxiously形象地描述了斯科特和阿蒙森急切出发的心情，同时也从侧面反映出他们所处环境的恶劣。副词主要用来加强程度。
2．He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were on skis ... After a while, Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.
赏析：语段中分别使用动词pull和push描述两队不同的情况，真实地说明天气变化给斯科特团队带来的困难，为后文的失败埋下伏笔。
3．Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base on 25 January, 1912, ten days ahead of their planned schedule.
赏析：句中使用了schedule 一词，意为“计划(表)；时间表”，说明阿蒙森团队出发前做了周密的安排，为成功到达南极提供了保障。该词也可作动词，意为“安排，预定”。
4．Then disaster came.Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died after a bad fall.The next to go was Captain Oates, who was having great difficulty walking.
赏析：句中disaster总领后文，其后的a terrible disease、died、a bad fall及having great difficulty walking等是灾难的具体体现。
[提能训练] (单句语法填空/完成句子)
①They have both behaved very ____________ (bad) so I am very sad.
②She ________________________ and saw a bright light in a closed window opposite.
她推开窗户，看到对面一扇紧闭的窗内照射出明亮的灯光。
③The meeting __________________ Friday afternoon.会议安排在星期五下午。
(二)赏句式之高
1．While he was on the way to Antarctica, he received a message from the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen which said he was going south, too.
赏析：while引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词a message。该句开启下文的南极探险比赛之旅，引发读者的阅读兴趣。
2．Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.
赏析：时间状语Then置于句首引起完全倒装，强调事件发展的顺序。该句表现了极地环境的恶劣，以及探险家们对南极之旅的渴望心情。
3．... we are unendingly cheerful, but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess.
赏析：句中what引导宾语从句，作guess的宾语，正常语序为：I can only guess what each man feels in his heart。该句表现了队员们虽然处境艰难，但不畏艰险，奋勇向前。
4．We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to dissuade him, we knew it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman.
赏析：句中but连接并列句，其中第二个分句中含有一个though引导的让步状语从句。该句语言凝练，表达了队员们对奥茨行为的理解，展现了探险家们不屈不挠的冒险精神。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①Show me ___________________________________________________________.
把你买的东西给我看看。
②__________________________________， for which my hometown is famous throughout the country.那里矗立着一座古塔，我的家乡因此而闻名全国。
③It is a traditional folk art with a long history, ______________________________________.这是一种历史悠久的传统民间艺术，可以追溯到1 000多年前。
(三)赏描摹之韵
1．(对话描写)Scott recorded his death：“He said，‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’ ...”
赏析：死亡对于一个人来说，或许是一件可怕的事情，但奥茨在面对死亡时所表现出的勇气和坦然却令人肃然起敬。通过对人物语言的刻画，生动直观地反映人物的心理，相互映衬，引人思考。
2．(心理描写)What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey ... What tales you would have for the boys. But what a price to pay.
赏析：对于一个生命即将结束的人来说，他或许对家人有太多想说的话，但此情此景却充满着无助与无奈。采用心理描写的手法，入情入理，引人深思。
[提能训练] (翻译并体会下面心理描写的句子)

②My heart was just like the microwaves of a mirror like lake, and was full of gratitude and pleasure.

(四)赏修辞之功
Even Amundsen was moved by Scott's death saying “Captain Scott left a record, for honesty, for sincerity, for bravery, for everything that makes a man”．
赏析：本句通过引用斯科特的竞争对手阿蒙森的话，从侧面赞扬了他们不屈不挠的冒险精神和向目标不断奋进的巨大勇气。

During our research for this sequence, we had been told we shouldn't even bother trying to film the Pallas's cat in winter. Filming such an animal was said to be near impossible. We wouldn't be able to find such a small animal in the vast steppes (草原) of Mongolia. Besides this, they're known to be easily frightened and extremely cautious. But we wanted to surprise audiences by showing them frozen worlds that lay outside of the Poles.
Arriving in Mongolia, I was struck by its vastness. It's unbelievable that our first day presented us with a good view of our hard-to-find target. Our guide led us to the top of a hill. More than a kilometre away in an unimpressive pile of rocks, I could see a tiny spot, a Pallas's cat! We were so excited!
We had been blessed with extremely low daytime temperature. Pallas's cats have the densest coat of any cat, but even so they must save their energy as much as possible. Their movements at these temperatures were especially seldom. While conditions did not look promising, we still needed to see if we could actually film them.
The cats would only appear if the sun was out. But the steppe could be hit at any time by fast and bitter winds which would make any animal that had decided to appear come to an end. The decision as to whether to hold out for the weather to pass or to have a rest was always a painful one to make.
But as the weeks went on and we spent more time with the cats, it was astonishing to see just how it was that they were able to survive in such a difficult and unpleasant environment. The longer we spent with them, the more we found ourselves falling in love with these attractive little characters and their winter lives.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者他们去拍摄帕拉斯猫的经历。
4．Why do people think it's unlikely to film the cats
A．The action is illegal.
B．The steppes are not large.
C．The cats are extremely careful.
D．The cat number is small.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Besides this, they're known to be easily frightened and extremely cautious.”可知，人们认为拍摄帕拉斯猫几乎是不可能的，因为帕拉斯猫非常小心谨慎。
5．How did the author feel when the steppes came into sight
A．Amazed. B．Excited.
C．Anxious. D．Upset.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Arriving in Mongolia, I was struck by its vastness.”可知，当草原出现在眼前时，作者感到惊奇。
√
6．What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4
A．They suffered low temperatures.
B．The Pallas's cats love the sun.
C．The decisions are hard to make.
D．The filming condition is challenging.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Their movements at these temperatures were especially seldom. While conditions did not look promising, we still needed to see if we could actually film them.”以及第四段中的“But the steppe could be hit at any time by fast and bitter winds which would make any animal that had decided to appear come to an end.”可推知，拍摄条件很有挑战性。
7．What would be the best title of the text
A．Pallas's Cats — An Unusual Animal
B．Experience of Filming the Pallas's Cats
C．Survival Skills on Mongolia Steppes
D．Extreme Weather Outside the Poles
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者他们去拍摄帕拉斯猫的经历，故B项“拍摄帕拉斯猫的经历”最适合作文章标题。

As our human population and resource need grow, we are leaving less and less room for wildlife. But the good news is that each of us can play a role in helping wild animals by making the world a better place for them. 8 .
Go outside and connect with wildlife. Take a walk and enjoy the wildlife all around you — the birds, butterflies, elephants and the like. Spend more time outside appreciating, enjoying and learning about wildlife.
Speak up for wildlife. 9 . Speak up and speak out against wildlife illegal poaching (偷猎), wild animal exploration, sport hunting of wild animals, overfishing, the illegal pet trade, wild animals used for entertainment, and much more. 10 .

During our research for this sequence, we had been told we shouldn't even bother trying to film the Pallas's cat in winter. Filming such an animal was said to be near impossible. We wouldn't be able to find such a small animal in the vast steppes (草原) of Mongolia. Besides this, they're known to be easily frightened and extremely cautious. But we wanted to surprise audiences by showing them frozen worlds that lay outside of the Poles.
Arriving in Mongolia, I was struck by its vastness. It's unbelievable that our first day presented us with a good view of our hard to find target. Our guide led us to the top of a hill. More than a kilometre away in an unimpressive pile of rocks, I could see a tiny spot, a Pallas's cat! We were so excited!
We had been blessed with extremely low daytime temperature. Pallas's cats have the densest coat of any cat, but even so they must save their energy as much as possible. Their movements at these temperatures were especially seldom. While conditions did not look promising, we still needed to see if we could actually film them.
The cats would only appear if the sun was out. But the steppe could be hit at any time by fast and bitter winds which would make any animal that had decided to appear come to an end. The decision as to whether to hold out for the weather to pass or to have a rest was always a painful one to make.
But as the weeks went on and we spent more time with the cats, it was astonishing to see just how it was that they were able to survive in such a difficult and unpleasant environment. The longer we spent with them, the more we found ourselves falling in love with these attractive little characters and their winter lives.
4．Why do people think it's unlikely to film the cats
A．The action is illegal.
B．The steppes are not large.
C．The cats are extremely careful.
D．The cat number is small.
5．How did the author feel when the steppes came into sight
A．Amazed. B．Excited.
C．Anxious. D．Upset.
6．What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4
A．They suffered low temperatures.
B．The Pallas's cats love the sun.
C．The decisions are hard to make.
D．The filming condition is challenging.
7．What would be the best title of the text
A．Pallas's Cats — An Unusual Animal
B．Experience of Filming the Pallas's Cats
C．Survival Skills on Mongolia Steppes
D．Extreme Weather Outside the Poles
