1.解析：beat打敗，勝過。從上文的disappointed可以看出，當(dāng)他們到達(dá)終點(diǎn)時，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)挪威人贏了他們。hit打；fight打仗；win后接表示運(yùn)動的詞，意為“贏”。
2.解析：plant把……牢牢放在某處。把英國國旗插在了南極。put表示“放置”，指把東西放在某處。
3.解析：before在……之前。在他們回去之前拍了一些照片。
4.解析：從上文disappointed和下文“the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them”可以看出，由于情緒不佳，旅途的進(jìn)程變得緩慢下來。
5.解析：appear出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)下文“The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones”可判斷出正下著暴風(fēng)雪，太陽沒有出來。rise升起，指太陽升上了天空。
6.解析：set up豎立。為了辨別出道路，他們在沿途放置了一些石頭。take up拿起；cut up切成碎片；pick up撿起。
7.解析：to make things worse使事情更糟糕的是。上文講述了他們沒有取得第一，情緒不佳，下文又說到“fell badly into a deep hole in the ice”，可見情況進(jìn)一步惡化。
8.解析：be thought of as被認(rèn)為是。Evans被認(rèn)為是五個人中最棒的一個。
9.解析：struggle斗爭。根據(jù)上文“fell badly into a deep hole in the ice”可判斷出Evans受了重傷，經(jīng)過幾天的掙扎，掉下去死了。
10.解析：leave剩下。剩下的四個人。
11.解析：manage設(shè)法完成（某件困難的事）。他們想方設(shè)法以最快的速度前進(jìn)。
12.解析：frozen凍僵的。根據(jù)上下文提供的信息the South Pole，the snow storms，his feet swelled可判斷出他的腳凍傷了。
13.解析：hardly幾乎不（能）。上文“at night his feet swelled so large”表示他的腳腫得早上無法穿上鞋子。
14.解析：pain疼痛。腳凍傷腫脹自然會非常疼痛。
15.解析：the others指剩余的三人。
16.解析：on繼續(xù)。幫助他繼續(xù)行走了幾英里。
17.解析：tent帳篷。Scott他們是到南極去，夜里是睡在帳篷里。
18.解析：while當(dāng)……的時候。當(dāng)其他三人在他們睡袋里的時候。
19.解析：be gone表示“不在，走了”或指人“死了”。從上文Captain Oates害怕連累其他三人，主動提出把他留在睡袋里和下文“his death would help his companies”可以看出他已下定決心結(jié)束自己的生命。
20.解析：alone獨(dú)自一人。他獨(dú)自一人從帳篷里走進(jìn)了暴風(fēng)雪。
