七、完成图表。
When most people think about travelling around the world, they would think of going by plane or train and probably never dream of going on foot.
Meet the man who's walking around the world. Alexander Campbell started his journey (旅行) from the Opera House near his hometown in February, 2023. During the four-year hike, he will walk 40,000 km across 30 countries and 4 continents (大洲). Why? Campbell said, "I really like walking."
In one of his online posts, he showed six pairs of shoes he wore out. He also said people along the way gave him home-cooked meals, beer, lemonade and a bed for the night and even invited him for the weddings (婚礼).
Mr Campbell is an experienced walker. He loves hiking and has finished the 800 km Colorado Trail, the 1,600 km Great Himalaya Trail and a 3,750 km hike from the Flinders Ranges to Sydney. And he once walked 74 km in one day.
The trip will raise money to help people who can't see well or at all around the world. He has raised more than $5,500.

答案:1. Walking
文章主要讲Alexander Campbell徒步环游世界,“a traveler walking around the world”表示“一个徒步环游世界的旅行者”,用现在分词作后置定语。
2. part
文中未明确提及完成40000公里旅程的具体比例,但从他已有的徒步经历和正在进行的旅程来看,是完成了“一部分(part)”。
3. eyesight
根据“The trip will raise money to help people who can't see well or at all around the world.”,“no or poor eyesight”表示“视力不好或失明”。
4. Experiences
后面列举的是他徒步过程中的经历,所以填“Experiences”。
5. kindness
从“people along the way gave him home - cooked meals, beer, lemonade and a bed for the night and even invited him for the weddings”可知,人们对他很友好,“show kindness to sb.”表示“对某人表示友好”。
