15、e blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. ( A )Exploration of the PolesThe North Pole and South Pole are at the top and bottom of the Earth, (25)_you wont find an actual pole to mark the place.

16、 The poles are the northernmost and southernmost points on the planet. The poles are the most unfriendly environments on Earth.In the early 1900s, explorers competed to become the first (26)_ ( reach ) the South Pole. From 1901 to 1904, British naval officer Robert Scott made the first attempt. Scot

17、t got (27)_ ( far ) south than anyone had been before, but he failed to reach the pole. In 1909, Ernest Shackleton of Britain led an expedition across Antarctica on sleds pulled by dogs. They were only about 100 miles (about 160 kilometers) from the South Pole (28)_ a shortage of food forced them to

18、 turn back. Scott finally reached the South Pole in January 1912. But (29)_ ( disappoint ) Scott found that Roald Amundsen had beaten him by one month. Amundsens expedition arrived at the pole in December 1911. Amundsen was (30)_ experienced Arctic explorer, and he had made careful preparations. Sco

19、tt and his companions died of injury, cold, and hunger on their return from the pole. In 1914, Shackleton (31)_ ( plan ) another expedition to the South Pole. But his ship was crushed by ice, and he had to cross 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) of freezing sea in a tiny boat to survive. Shackleton then

20、returned to save his strandedmen. It was one of the greatest rescue feats in history.In 1929, Arctic explorer Richard Byrd became the first person who flew over the South Pole. Byrd later pioneered the idea of(32)_ ( set )up permanent stations for scientific research in Antarctica. A station called

21、the Amundsen-Scott Base has stood at the South Pole since 1977. ( B )Teaching in front of a cameraWageningen University is keen on developing forms of education that reach people all over the world. The basics of the course topics are covered in short films and three-minute to seven-minute presentat

22、ions (33)_ ( use ) techniques such as animationand voiceover ( 画外音 ). The online Masters programmes are quite different from the large-scale MOOCs (在线课程 ), explains Busstra. In the Masters courses, the short “knowledge clips” ( 短片 ) dealing with the essential topics(34)_ ( link ) to an assignment di

23、rectly to help the students actively absorbthe knowledge themselves. Teachers can also use them to test (35)_ the material has come across well. Busstra says: “ The teacher has to think up new ways of working-getting students to make a film clip, for instance,(36)_ _ they present a research setup th

24、ey have thought up themselves, or to respond to someone elses idea, or to work on a document in groups.” The students also get the chance to post a question while they are watching an online film-equivalent of putting your hand up during a lecture. Fellow students and teachers can then answer the qu

25、estion online. “ There are a lot of misunderstandings about online education, ” says Busstra, “ one of them being (37)_ there is only one way communication. (38)_people are gradually gaining confidence in it. It will stay typically Wageningen: small-scale and based on interaction and group work.” Th

26、e investment (39)_ online learning is paying off in the regular education programme too, according to Busstra. Students in Wageningen can pick up the basics at home through the knowledge clips. During lectures, teachers(40)_ then provide more in-depth analysis, talk about their own work and supervis

27、e students more personally. “Increasingly, on-campus and online education will no longer be two separate worlds,” expects Busstra. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. We ar

In peep culture, we turn on the computer, we move through peoples lives on reality TV, blogs, Face book and You Tube. Instead of getting our en

29、tertainment from scripted performances, we get our entertainment from peeping into other peoples lives. It can be friends and family. But its just likely to be people we have never met from around the world. Suddenly, we spend all of our time _42_ other people. And we also invite them to watch us! P

30、eople _43_ themselves to get attention and to feel like they are part of a community. In peep culture, ordinary people are turned into celebrities. This has never happened before, turning the spotlight on _44_regular people. There arent secrets anymore. The notion of private life has changed. As soc

31、iety has become _45_ fast-paced, most of us are really unaware of these changes in our lives. We are moving into a time when our _46_ personality is going to be more important than our actual physical _47_. What we have online is going to be more important than what we do offline. We are now socially judged by our virtual profiles. In the age of “ peep culture, ” a tell-all, show-all, know-all digital phe
