    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    After a year of preparing herself, Laura Dekker has been given permission to sail around the world. “I was so happy that I almost jumped into the river,” Laura said, after learning of the court’s verdict(判决).
    The 14-year-old was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.
    Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.
    Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.
    Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finished successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.
    【小题1】Which of the following is TRUE of Laura?

    A．She prepared the voyage at the age of 12.
    B．She lost her mother after she was born.
    C．She was allowed to sail around the world finally.
    D．She wanted to donate money made from the voyage.
    【小题2】At first, child protection agencies were against Laura’s plan because ____.
    A．it was considered to be a dangerous trip
    B．Laura had to finish her schooling first
    C．it would cost Laura too much time and money
    D．Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone
    【小题3】What is Mr. Dekker’s attitude towards Laura’s trip?
    A．DoubtfulB．SupportiveC．UncertainD．Neutral(中立的)
    【小题4】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ____.
    A．how Laura convinced the court
    B．why Laura needed to study at sea
    C．how Laura prepared for the voyage
    D．where Laura could avoid pirate attacks

         Martha's Vineyard (葡萄园) got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew Gasbnold, who named it
    after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.
         The island of Martha's Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southern eastern coast of
    Massachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are
    wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are
    wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.
         The island was discovered early in the 17th cen－tury. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the
    newcomers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of
    whaling and sailing ships, Martha's Vineyard was almost for－gotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.
    1. In this passage the writer doesn't tell us ______.
    A. how the island got its name
    B. the population of the island
    C. the scenery of the island
    D. the value of the island
    2. One of the reasons why Martha's Vineyard was al－most forgotten is that ______.
    A. the hunting of whales became less productive
    B. ship building industry developed rapidly
    C. most of the Vineyard lay waste
    D. a lot of fishermen left the island

    　　In 1492, Columbus sailed the Atlantic Ocean．Up to that time, men from central Europe did not dare to sail west across the sea．Sailors were back because they feared many dangers．Their maps showed the unexplored(未探明的)parts of the world as dangers and frightening．

    　　In those days, the men who made maps did not know what the world was really like．They used their imagination．They showed the earth as a large circle with Europe and Asia in the centre．Around the edges of the circle, they showed swamps, deserts, and the oceans and one-eyed men and terrible monsters were supposed to live there．

    　　The ocean itself was called the sea of Darkness．Sailors believed that if they sailed far north they would reach mountains made of ice．They thought that far south the ocean turned into fire and boiling water．They were afraid to sail east or west．They thought they would fall off the earth．

    　　A sailor had to face some dangers that were quite real．At that time, ships were not made with metal as they are today．Shipsworms could attack a boat’s wooden planking．A sailing vessel might be built soundly but be eaten through．It might go to pieces at sea and sink．
