II. Read the text and choose the best answer for each question (2,0 điểm – mỗi câu 0,4)
Tom Avery is the youngest Briton to have reached both poles. He and his team recently followed
the route taken by Robert Peary in his 1909 expedition to the North Pole.
Both men left from Cape Columbia in Canada but Peary’s team was larger. Peary also had four
support groups and every 160 kilometres a group would leave food behind and turn back. This meant
the team decreased in size as he went north. Avery’s team didn’t have the extra men, but they had
food dropped by plane at four locations.
Although Avery’s team had the benefit of modern technology, Avery thinks this did not make
much difference. “Your speed depends on the dogs and how quickly you can get a sledge through the
ice. We also had to deal with the same dangers. At the end of winter, some ice is only 7 centimetres
thick and it can break easily under your weight. Peary was also more experienced than us and had
been on several expeditions to the Arctic.”
Avery believes they owe their success to the 16 limit dogs that pulled the sledges. “Our dogs
worked in teams of 8. They kept us going. In the evenings. I would thank every one of them.”
“Travelling with dogs is the best form of Arctic transport. You cannot do the journey in that time
by any other method.”
Some historians say that Peary could not have reached the North Pole in 39 days. But Avery's
team actually beat this time, becoming the fastest to reach the North Pole on foot. Avery says, “We
told everyone it could be done so it was important not to fail. But it was hard, especially towards the
end when the ice was melting quickly.”
