to 1904,British naval officer Robert Scott made thefirst attempt.Scott got(27)_(far)souththan anyone had been before,but he failed to reach thepole.第 7 页In 1909,Ernest Shackleton of Britain led an expeditionacross Antarctica on sleds pulled by dogs.They were onlyabout 100 miles(about 160 kilometers)from the SouthPole(28)_ a shortage of food forced them toturn back.Scott finally reached the South Pole in January 1912.But(29)_(disappoint)Scott found thatRoaldAmundsenhadbeatenhimbyonemonth.Amundsens expedition arrived at the pole in December1911.Amundsen was(30)_ experiencedArctic explorer,and he had made careful preparations.Scott and his companions died of injury,cold,and hungeron their return from the pole.In1914,Shackleton(31)_(plan)another expedition to the South Pole.But his ship wascrushed by ice,and he had to cross 800 miles(1,300kilometers)of freezing sea in a tiny boat to survive.Shackleton then returned to save his strandedmen.It wasone of the greatest rescue feats in history.In 1929,Arctic explorer Richard Byrd became the first第 8 页person who flew over the South Pole.Byrd later pioneeredthe idea of(32)_(set)up permanent stationsfor scientific research in

forms ofeducation that reach people all over the world.The basicsof the course topics are covered in short films andthree-minutetoseven-minutepresentations(33)_(use)techniquessuchasanimationand

that theseplants occur naturally(in special environments)in everystate.In fact,theyre found on every continent exceptAntarctica.Youve probably seen a Venus flytrap.Its oftensold in museum gift stores,department stores,and evensupermarkets.A small plant,it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in acontainer.At the end of its stalks(茎)are speciallymodified leaves that act like traps.Inside each trap is alining of tiny trigger(触发)hairs.When an insect lands onthem,the trap suddenly shuts.Over the course of a weekor so,the plant feeds on its catch.The Venus flytrap is just one of more than 500species of meat-eating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,theeditor of the International Carnivorous(食肉的)PlantSocietys Newsletter.Note:Despite any science-fictionstories you might have read,no meat-eating plant
