I.阅读理解
A
One of the sailors who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World
was a man named Juan Ponce de Leon. This voyage changed his life.
He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called
Boriquien) in 1508.
While there，he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth
and said that drinking its water kept you young.
For the next few years，Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked
permission from Spain's King Charles Ⅴ to go in search of it. The king consented，as long as Ponce paid
for the ships and crew himself.
The young explorer did so readily，and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but
didn't see the fountain. On March 27，he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2，he landed at
what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.
He had several adventures along the way. He did not，however，find the Fountain of Youth. He
returned to Boriquien.
He continued to govern tile island，and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth.
Finally，in 1521，he set out again.
This time，he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a
new settlement，they were attacked by native tribesmen(部落成员). Many of his men died，but Ponce
escaped，although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital，where he died of wounds
from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone
else，at least as far as we know.

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had
been made last week. In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous
shipwreck(海难)，by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images
were stored in an ice chest，under freezing water，in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance，a small，tight，Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take
Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists，27 men in all，to the southernmost shore
of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)
across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had
done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the
march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，
adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journey，completed as be lay in a
tent dying of cold and hunger，caught the world's imagination，and a film made in his honor drew

Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.
Frank Hurley，a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make
the images，most of which have never before been published.
