Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed．When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians had 1 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it．After 2 the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves 3 they started the 950-mile journey back．
The journey was unexpectedly 4 and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them．The sun hardly 5 ．The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had 6 to mark their way home．To make things 7 ．Evans, whom they had all thought of 8 the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice．Having 9 along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died．
The four who were 10 pushed on at the best speed they could 11 ．Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from the fact; at night his 12 feet swelled so large that he could 13 put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great 14 ．He knew his slowness was making it less likely that 15 could save themselves．He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him 16 a few more miles, until it was time to put up the 17 for another night．
The following morning, 18 the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said．“I am just going outside and may be 19 some time．” He was never seen again．He had walked out 20 into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions．
When sailors are allowed ashore after a long time at sea, they sometimes get drunk and cause trouble．For this mason, the navy 1 has its police in big ports．Whenever sailors cause trouble, the police come and 2 them．
One day, the police in a big seaport received a telephone call 3 a bar in the town．The barman said that a big sailor had got drunk and 4 the furniture in the bar．The officer in charge of the police guard that evening said that he would come immediately．Now, officers who 5 and punish the sailors 6 drunk usually chose 7 policeman they could find to go with them． 8 this particular officer did not do this． 9 , he chose the smallest and 10 man he could find to go to the bar with him and 11 the sailor．
Another officer who 12 there was surprised when he saw the officer of the guard chose such a small man． 13 he said to him,"Why 14 you take a big man with you?You have to fight the sailor who 15 ．"
“Yes, you are 16 right,”answered the officer of the guard．“That is exactly 17 I am taking this small man．If you see two policemen coming 18 you, and one is 19 the other, which one 20 you attack?”

完型填空：
Mr．Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen, it was a beautiful morning, 1 he went to the window and looked out．He was surprised to see 2 middle-aged professor, who walked in the university just up the road from Mr．Jones’s house, 3 the direction of the town．He had grey hair and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag．Mr．Jones thought that he must have 4 by the night train, and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi．
Mr．Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had 5 a long rope to one of the branches so that they could swing on it．
Mr．Jones was 6 to see the professor 7 when he saw the rope, and looked 8 up and down the road．When he saw that there was nobody in sight, he 9 into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat on the grass and 10 the rope．He 11 it hard to see whether it was strong enough to 12 his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the 13 on the end of the rope, his grey hair 14 all around his face．Backwards and forwards he swung, 15 taking a few more 16 steps on the grass when the rope began to swing 17 slowly for him．
At last the professor stopped, 18 his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and 19 his way to the university, looking as 20 and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be．
