主题语境：探险活动
My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from Marrakesh，with all its sharp bends，and had finally arrived at Merzouga.Before us stretched① the unending sand dunes that marked the beginning of the Sahara.[1] A small boy walked past with a group of noisy goats as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us we were entering a “fragile② natural environment”.I made a resolution③ to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.We set off，our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.It wasn't long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering④ above us on all sides.[2]The wind was blowing grains of sand from the tops of the dunes，the sun was beating down⑤ hard and bright，and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before.[3] The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal⑥ itself.There was not a plant to be seen.The desert appeared completely empty，which was calming and threatening⑦ at the same time.The colours of the dunes contrasted strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky.

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA：WORTH THE RISKS
1 Last year，hundreds of people spent good money① on an experience that they knew would include crowds②，discomfort③and danger[1].Many would become sick，due to the extreme cold and low air pressure④，and a few would even lose their lives⑤.Yet，despite all this，by the end of the trip many were already planning to return.For these people，climbing Qomolangma[2]is an experience like no other⑥，making some feel weak and others，powerful[3].
[1]that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词an experience，that在从句中作宾语。从句中they knew是插入语，would include是过去将来时，表示过去某个时间点对未来的看法。
[2]动词-ing形式短语作主语。
[3]动词-ing形式短语作状语；and后的“others，powerful”为省略形式，其补充完整为making others feel powerful。

①good money 大笔的钱
good adj.[熟词生义](数量或程度)相当大的，相当多的
②crowd n.人群
③discomfort n.不舒服；不自在；使人不舒服的事物
④air pressure 气压
⑤lose one's life 丢掉某人的性命
⑥like no other 与众不同
2 British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of⑦ climbing Qomolangma，“What we get from this adventure[4]is just sheer joy⑧...We do not live to eat and make money⑨.We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life.That is what life means and what life is for.”[5] Sadly，Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924，although his body would not be found until many years later.It is still not known if he succeeded in⑩ reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life .[6]
[4]What引导的主语从句，What在该从句中作get的宾语。
[5]and连接两个并列的what引导的表语从句，what在这两个表语从句中均作宾语。
[6]It是形式主语，真正的主语是if引导的主语从句，if意为“是否”。
⑦write of sb/sth 写关于某人/某物的事情
⑧sheer joy 纯粹的快乐
sheer/ I /adj.纯粹的，十足的
⑨make money 赚钱(＝earn money)
⑩succeed in (doing) sth 成功做某事
take one's life 结束某人的性命
3 In 2011，words similar to those[7] of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette，who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world[8]. “It brings into focus what's important to you.”[9]He added，“There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going.You really have to focus on the one reason that's most important and unique to you[10].It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical，as well as mental，toughness to push when you want to stop.”
[7]指代前面的可数名词复数words。
[8]who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Alan Arnette，who在定语从句中作主语。
[9]该句正常语序应是“It brings what's important to you into focus.”，由于宾语部分太长，为了保持句子结构平衡，将宾语后置了。
[10]that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词reason。
bring...into focus 使……成为焦点
turn around 转身；使转向
be unique to sb 对某人来说是特别的
figure out 搞清楚，弄明白；计算
as well as 在此连接并列的成分，意为“和，也”。
toughness n.坚强；不屈不挠；结实；(工作等的)费力
4 With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure [11]，is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking ？Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature ，with some of us more likely to take risks than others[12].Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars，as well as those who climb Qomolangma.He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T，with the “T” standing for “thrill ”[13].
[11]with复合结构作状语，其中the majority of attempts是宾语，to climb Qomolangma是动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰attempts；因attempts与result in之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故这里用动词-ing形式。
[12]“with＋宾语(代词)＋宾语补足语(形容词短语)”结构，在句中作状语。
[13]“with＋宾语(名词)＋宾语补足语(动词-ing形式短语)”结构。
attempt/ 'tempt/n.企图，试图，尝试；努力，尝试vt.努力，试图
result in 导致
failure/'fe lj /n.失败；失败的人(或事物)
risk-taking n.冒险，承担风险
indicate vt.&vi.表明，显示
human nature 人性
be likely to do sth 可能做某事
likely adj.可能的
psychologist/saI'k l d Ist/n.心理学家
refer to...as...把……称为……
stand for 代表；支持；容忍
thrill/θr l/n.惊险，刺激；兴奋，激动
5 Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities，Farley said，“They'll say，‘I'm not taking risks，I'm an expert...’They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.”
6 Research also suggests that [14]our desire to seek risks[15] can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
[14]句型Research suggests that...意为“研究表明/显示……”，与上文“studies indicate that...”表达的意义相似，两个句型可互换。
[15]动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰desire。
speaking to...对……说(常位于句首作状语)
suggest vt.[熟词生义]表明
be connected to...与……有关(相联系)
benefit from...从……中获益
7 With this in mind[16]，are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks？It's totally up to you.
[16]“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语(介词短语)”结构。
be up to sb 由某人决定
【参考译文】
攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？
1 去年，数以百计的人花费大笔的钱，体验了明知会有拥挤、不适和危险的经历。由于极端严寒和低气压，许多人会生病，少数人甚至可能丧命。然而，尽管如此，到旅行结束时，许多人已经在计划着重返这里。对于这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一种无可比拟的体验，使一些人感到脆弱，另一些人则感到充满力量。
2 英国登山者乔治·马洛里这样记叙攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历：“我们从这次冒险中获得的只是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱，我们吃饭和赚钱是为了能享受生活。那就是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是，马洛里于1924年死在山上，而他的遗体直到多年以后才被找到。目前尚不清楚他是否在遇难前成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰。
3 2011年，美国登山者艾伦·阿内特说出了与马洛里所言类似的话。艾伦当年攀登了珠穆朗玛峰，并打算登上世界各地其他的高山。“登山会让你把注意力集中在对你来说重要的事情上，”他补充说，“有一千个理由让你转身(放弃)，但只有一个理由让你继续前进。你必须专注于对你而言最重要、最独特的那个理由。它会迫使你深入观察自己的内心，弄清楚自己的身体和心理是否真的坚韧不拔，能在你想要停下的时候推动你继续向前。”
4 大部分攀登珠穆朗玛峰的尝试都以完全的成功或彻底的失败结束，那么，在这样的冒险背后是否也存在什么科学的原因呢？最近的研究表明，冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分，我们中的一些人要比其他人更可能冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些跳伞、飙车，还有攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。他称这些人的人格为“T型”，“T”代表“thrill(刺激)”。
5 法利接受《洛杉矶时报》采访时是这样描述“T型”人格的：“他们会说‘我不是在冒险，我是专家……’他们并不想死，也不认为自己会死。”
6 研究还表明，我们寻求冒险的欲望可能与我们期望从结果中获得多少益处有关。
7 了解这些以后，攀登珠穆朗玛峰的益处是否值得冒险呢？这完全取决于你自己。

In 1880，fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson was fascinated by the tales of sailors' exciting lives at sea.One day he set out on the forty-mile journey to the nearest large port to seek work on a sailing ship.
In Baltimore，Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds.For the next five years，Henson sailed around the world.By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885，Henson was well-educated，thus becoming an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else，Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington，D.C.One day in 1887，a man came in to buy a hat.The man，Robert Peary，asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea.Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S.government.He needed experienced men to accompany him.
The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean voyages，so he introduced Peary to Henson.Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common，including their love of the sea.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills，Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman.One day Peary told Henson about his real dream：to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole.He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.
Over the next five years，the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic.However，they were not able to reach the pole each time.
In 1908，Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole.Both men were over forty years old.The years of hardship and suffering in extreme cold had taken their toll on both men.This would be their last chance.
In April 1909，Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole.Together Henson and Peary planted an American flag in the snow.They were greatly honored for their achievement.Today，the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart at Arlington National Cemetery.
