本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了自己在间隔年进行的一次探险，包括前期的准备工作以及探险过程，还有这次经历给自己带来的收获。
1．starting [考查非谓语动词。介词before后应跟动名词作宾语。故填starting。]
2．organization [考查词性转换。根据不定冠词an可知，此处应填organize的名词形式organization。]
3．journeys [考查名词。根据空格前的数词“three”可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。故填journeys。]
4．immediately [考查词性转换。此处应用副词immediately修饰谓语动词“signed up”。]
5．for [考查介词。“我”必须为这次旅行筹集一大笔钱。for表示目的，意为“为了”，符合语境。]
6．it [考查固定搭配。根据语境可知，虽然筹钱的任务艰巨，但“我”还是设法完成了。make it是固定用法，意为“获得成功”，符合语境。]
7．sold [考查动词的时态。根据“and”可知，此处应是三个并列的谓语动词washed，worked和sold，均表示过去的动作。故填sold。]
8．arrival [考查词性转换。根据空格前的“our”可知，此处应用arrive的名词形式arrival，意为“到达”。]
9．that/which [考查定语从句。空格处引导定语从句，指代先行词“a mountain”，指物，在从句中作主语。故填关系代词that/which。]
10．more [考查副词的比较级。根据“than”可知，此处应用much的比较级more修饰形容词able。]
