二、完形填空(10 分)
"It's Day 45 of ourexploration to the South Pole. This must be one of the most difficult days I've ever had，" I thought with a breath as I walked against the wind and snow in sub-zero temperatures. We're finally just a few miles away from our destination (终点).
This whole trip has been very difficult. We have been walking around 12 hours a day and I'm very tired. However，I can't because it's nothing compared to the journey of Roald Amundsen. Whenever I almost gave up，I tried to think of he overcame (克服) his difficulties more than 100 years ago.
This journey has been special even though at times it felt like it was never going to end. First，it's not easy to over the white snow and ice that feels like an ocean. Sometimes it's white everywhere and it's hard to more than a few metres ahead because of storms. ，we have planned the route well.
Another challenge of the journey is food. For example，we have to eat any hot food fast as it gets cold quickly. Sometimes，we just have some nuts and sweets since there's no time to stop for a proper meal. Even so，we've always made sure that we eat the right food so that we can continue our journey with enough .
I think the hardest part is to protect our feet. It would be terrible if we couldn't get to the pole because of injuries (受伤). Our team doctor has always treated our injuries well and has us in good shape.
It will feel to be finally standing at the South Pole. This exploration has taught me that we need to overcome all kinds of difficulties before we can succeed and that we should never give up.
()1. A. last

A
Guitar 4/4 1=G Puff，the magic dragon，lived by the sea，
J = 120 And played in the autumn fog in a land called Honalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that magic Puff，
And brought him feathers and glue and other fancy stuff.
Together they would travel on a boat with sail.
Jackie kept a lookout on Puff's giant tail.
Kings and princes would greet whenever they came.
All ships lowered flags when Puff shouted out his name.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys.
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
