【3 题详解】
推理判断题。根据 The Fault in Our Stars中“The book is the award-winning author John Green’s most heartbreaking work. The story is told by Hazel Grace, a 16-year-old girl with cancer. She is forced by her parents to attend a support group where she meets and falls in love with 17-year-old Augustus Waters.”（这本书是获奖作家约翰·格林最令人心碎的作品。这个故事是由 16 岁的癌症女孩哈泽尔·格雷斯(Hazel Grace)讲述的。她的父母强迫她参加一个互助小组，在那里她遇见了 17 岁的奥古斯都·沃特斯并爱上了他。）由此可知，看完《The Fault in Our Stars》这本书后我的感觉是“伤心”。故选 D。
B After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Mission accomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone. Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor. She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast. But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children from attempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during
a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents. Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it. “I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.” 4. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because
. A. people were concerned about her safety B. she didn’t learn any sailing skills well C. she had to continue her study at school D. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips 5. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Failed. B. Completed. C. Continued. D. Started. 6. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to
. A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors B. stop children entering Guinness World Records C. encourage parents to sail with their children D. prevent children making dangerous attempts 7. What could be the best title for this passage? A. A New Guinness World Record in Sailing B. A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors C. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Around the World D. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records 【答案】4. A
5. B
6. D
7. C 【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了 16 岁的少女 Laura Dekker独自完成了一次环球航行的壮举。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself.( 13 岁时，她第一次尝试起航，但荷兰一家法院阻止了她。他们说她太年轻了，不能独自做这样冒险的旅行)”可知，人们担心她的安全，认为她太小，所以阻止了她冒险。故选 A项。
【5 题详解】
猜测词义题。根据划线句下文“Last month , she finished a daring trip around the world(上个月，她完成了一次大胆的环球之旅)”可推断，划线句“After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say,‘Mission accomplished!’”句意为：...
