The airplane had a good 7 of newspapers, magazines, television programmes, food and drinks. The

When I 11 the airplane, the language that entered my 12 was completely different from what I was

16,2009, becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.
Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 am local time.
During his 28,000-nautical-mile journey, he braved storms, equipment failures and a conflict with
suspected pirates (海盗).
"It"s great to be back." Sunderland, of Thousand Oaks, California, said after he was welcomed home
by a group of friends.
Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone, according to the American Sailing
Assoiciation, which certified (证实) Sunderland"s feat. .
He left Marina del Rey, just south of Los Angeles, on June 14, 2008, and celebrated his 17th birthday
at sea while off Africa"s Cape of Good Hope.
His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead(舱壁) in
rough seas off Mexico, forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly
there to make repairs.
Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected a pirated boat.
The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto his deck with a gun to
keep them off, said Charlie Nobles, executive director of the association.
Sunderland, who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voyage, threw
the gun away before entering Mexican waters, where it is illegal to carry private firearms.
He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone, and the youngest to
date. The previous record-holder was David Dicks of Australia, who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18. | | 1. Which statement about Sunderland"s voyage is TRUE? | A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.
B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.
C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.
D. On June 14,2008, he reached the Cape of Good Hope. | | 2. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta? | A. To avoid the terrible weather.
B. To delay the time of his return.
C. To wait for help from his father.
D. To avoid the intruders. | | 3. The youngest person who sailed around the globe alone was____. | A. Charlie Nobles
B. David Dicks
C. Marina Del Rey
D. Zac Sunderland | | 4. What is the best title of the text? | A. A Brave Young Man
B. The Hardship Sunderland Experienced
C. Who Have Sailed Around the Globe Alone?
D. The Youngest Person to Circle the Globe Alone | | 阅读理解 | One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we"d have for ages to take
a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months
ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn"t have been more different - clear skies and sunshine made
it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we"d been off the base on our own without our field
assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling - more like a few friends going to the seaside than an
Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying
seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the
main group to come and check us out. We"d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出
的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn"t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat
down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without
any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks,
which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day. | | 1. When did the trip most probably happen? | A. On a dull Sunday.
B. On a warm Sunday.
C. On a summer Sunday.
D. On a winter Sunday. | | 2. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____. | A. felt a little nervous
B. felt a little excited
C. were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D. got bored with staying with their field assistant | | 3. What does the writer mean by saying "but that didn"t seem to be the case"? | A. They were told a lie.
B. A wrong decision was made.
C. The truth was the opposite.
D. They didn"t believe what they were told. | | 4. The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____. | A. feed the penguins
B. take pictures of the penguins
C. enjoy watching flying seabirds
D. watch the young penguins | | 完形填空 | In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and
sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 1 . His chances of surviving were small. 2 when
three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive-much 3 than he was when he started, but alive.
His 4 of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness - how he 5 to catch fish, how he
evaporated(蒸发)sea water to 6 fresh water - is very interesting.
But the thing that 7 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost,
and there seemed no 8 in continuing the struggle. He was starved and 9 worn-out. Giving up would
have seemed the only possible choice.
