　　Passage Two

　　What would you pack for a six-month trip on the coldest continent in the world? Bear in mind that there'll be no shops around and no help from home. That's the challenge the British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes faces as he prepares to lead a six-strong team on foot across Antarctica. The expedition to start in March will cross areas where the temperature has fallen as low as -90℃. It'll be the 68-year-old adventurer's latest record attempt. Past feats have seen him go pole to pole and climb Everest as a pensioner. (19) Guinness World Records describes him as the world’s greatest living explorer.

　　(20)The expedition's 200 tonnes of equipment will be dragged across 2,000 miles of some of the world's most inhospitable terrain by two special bulldozers. They'll be followed by 14 smaller sledges transporting fuel. To make sure they'll stay on the surface of the ice shelf, two skiers will lead the way, on the lookout for cracks using a small radar system. (21) To get Foreign Office permission to go to Antarctica the team had to prove they could be self-sufficient. In the Antarctic winter there's no way of being rescued. And nothing is left to chance. Their luggage also includes 20kg of dried egg, 7,300 tea bags, 230kg of chocolate and 30 toothbrushes. There's enough food to last a year including dried fruits, sports nutrition products, and dried foods. They can't take tins with them as they'd freeze and burst. And there'll be no empty suitcases on their return. (22) Everything the explorers take with them will be removed from the ice at the end of the expedition, including the human waste.

　　19. What does the Guinness World Records say about Sir Ranulph Fiennes?

　　20. How does Fiennes plan to carry the equipment?

　　21. What does Foreign Office require before issuing the permission?

　　22. What should Fiennes' team do when they return?

　　【小题21】此题针对需要满足何种条件 Foreign Office 才会允许他们探险进行提问。短文中提到 To get Foreign Office permission to go to Antarctica the team had to prove they could be self-sufficient.也就是说，他们必须证明能够自给自足，携带了足够多的物资的时候，才能获得许可。因此答案为选项 B。

　　【小题22】短文在结尾处提到 Everything the explorers take with them will be removed from the ice at the end of the expedition, including the human waste.也就是说，他们在南极探险过程中，必须要将所产生的废物收集起来，带出南极。因此答案为选项 C。
