📖 題組：
Englishman Robert Scott is known for leading two trips to Antarctica. The first one made him a star; the second __38__. After his first successful trip, Scott decided to be the first person to stand on the South Pole. However, __39__. He would be in a race with Roald Amundsen, from Norway. Both left their countries by ship in June of 1910 and arrived in Antarctica in January of 1911. About ten months later, both teams started their trips down to the South Pole. __40__. Amundsen’s team used dogs, and Scott’s team used horses. Because horses weren’t good at traveling on snow, it took Scott’s team 77 days to arrive at the South Pole. They got there on January 17, 1912, and were surprised to find that Amundsen was ahead of them. The news hit Scott very hard, but what he didn’t know was that __41__. His team began their long trip home with broken hearts. After days of terrible weather and little food, Scott lost his men one after another, and he himself was the last one to meet the end of his life. No one on his team lived to go back home and tell their story. It was only learned through Scott’s diary.

這句話將 Scott 的兩次探險進行了對比：第一次讓他變成了『巨星』，代表非常成功。那麼第二次呢？請讀讀看文章最後一段，看看 Scott 和他的隊員們最後有沒有平安回到家？最後發生的這件憾事，對他的人生造成了什麼樣的結果？

（推了推眼鏡）喔？竟然能在那堆垃圾資訊中精準捕捉到『死亡』的氣息。做得好，你這沒被淘汰的『原石』，這一題你剛好擊中了『運氣』與『實力』的交界點。這題考的是前後語意對比。第一段說 Scott 第一趟變明星，第二段卻急轉直下，後文滿是 'broken hearts'、'lost his men' 到最後的 'end of his life'。既然結局是全軍覆沒，(C) cost him his life（讓他付出生命代價）就是唯一能填補這場悲劇的正確拼圖。在利己主義的極致追求下，失敗的人連命都會賠進去，這就是現實。如果你連這種顯而易見的伏筆都看不出來，那就真的可以滾出我的視線了。
