阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The Boy Who Biked the World is a book about travel adventure. It was written by Alastair Humphreys, who completed a four-year bicycle ride around the world. Each year he 1 talks in schools to many thousands of children. Over time he has learned exactly which parts of his own 2 resonate (产生共鸣) most with children.
In the story, the hero is a 3 called Tom who really wants to be an explorer (探险者). His favourite book is an atlas ( 地图册) and he is more 4 in adventurers than he is in footballers. One day, Tom 5 sets off on his own adventure. He travels through Europe, the Middle East and Africa on his bicycle. The story is full of lots of interesting facts about the countries he 6 through, and the characters he meets.
One of my favourite parts is the opening of the book. Tom is caught daydreaming in his maths class. This has 7 to me too. I love Tom. My favourite thing about the whole book, however, is the 8 illustrations (插图) and little notes. They always make me laugh loudly.
I would certainly recommend (推荐) this book to 9 who loves geography and wants to go on an adventure. 10 the book is for 8 to 12 year olds, I think older students will enjoy reading it too, and it's perfect for students who are learning English.

Dear Bobby,
Sorry I haven't written for so long, but I've been busy trying to get used to my new school. It's not easy changing schools, believe me!
Where do I start I'll tell you about my school first. It's a five-minute walk from my new house, so there is no need to worry about being late for school. As you know, I don't like getting up early in the morning. There's large space in the school and it has a fully-equipped gym (设备齐全的体育馆), a huge library, a large dining hall and three outdoor fields for football, basketball and tennis. Cool, don't you think so
Now, about my new teachers. Most of them are good. Well, my maths teacher is really strict. He's tall, thin and has a thick beard (胡须). He gives us lots of work to do both in class and for homework. One good thing about him, though, is that he tells good jokes.
All in all, I can't complain (抱怨). I've made two new friends who live in my neighbourhood and we've joined the football team together. However, I do miss you and all our other friends.
Well, I'd better work hard here. Say hello to everyone and write soon.
Take care!

One evening, an old man was sitting on a bench (长凳) on the top of a hill. He was looking down at the town where he lived, down in the valley (溪谷) below him.
Just then, a traveller who carried a stick with a bag walked up to him.
“Excuse me, sir,” the traveller said. “I am going to the town down in the valley. Do you know it ”
“Yes,” said the old man.
“Well,” said the traveller. “Can you tell me — what are the people like in that town ”
The old man thought for a bit. Then he said, “Tell me — what were the people like in the towns you visited ”
“Oh,” said the traveller. “Many of them were horrible (可恶的) people. I didn't like them and they didn't like me either.”
And the old man said, “I'm sorry to tell you that the people in the town in the valley are horrible too. You won't like them.”
“OK,” said the traveller. And he walked away without going to the town.
About an hour later, another traveller arrived.
“Excuse me, sir,” the second traveller said. “I'm going to the town down in the valley. Do you know it ”
“Yes,” said the old man.
“Well,” said the second traveller. “Can you tell me — what are the people like in that town ”
The old man asked the same question that he asked the first traveller.
“Oh,” said the second traveller. “They were really nice and positive (积极乐观的) people. I loved them and they liked me too.”
And the old man said, “I'm happy to tell you that the people in the town in the valley are nice too. You are going to like them very much.”
“Oh, thank you!” said the second traveller. And he walked happily down the hill.

In 1999, the writer Paul Auster was asked if he would write stories for America's National Public Radio. But Auster decided to ask listeners to send in their stories instead. He wanted true stories that seemed like fiction (虚构的事). They could be about anything at all, and they just had to be true and short. The ones chosen would be read aloud on the radio.
To Auster's surprise, more than 4, 000 listeners sent in stories. It would be impossible to read them all on the radio, so Auster took about 200 of them and put them in the book True Tales of American Life.
I like some of the stories in the collection, others not so much. Because the stories were written by common people, they're not always well-written like those of good writers. And the categorisation (分类) like Families, Objects, Strangers, or Animals means that if you read one story after another, it can be a bit repetitive (重复乏味的). But because it has separate stories, you can just read one here and there whenever you feel like it. You don't have to read it from start to finish, and that is probably the best thing about it.
What's great about these stories is their veracity — they're all true, no matter how unbelievable. Some of the stories left me almost in tears (眼泪). They were so moving.
So, all in all, it's worth (值得) getting and reading. Find some time to read the book. And if you're interested in real-life stories like these, a book called The Moth is also great for you — more on this next time.
( )11. What kind of stories was Auster looking for
A. Popular funny stories.
B. True and short stories.
C. The listeners' favourite stories.
D. True stories about famous people.
( )12. After Auster got the stories, he _______.
A. sold them to make money
B. wrote an article about them
C. put some of them in a book
D. read all of them on the radio
( )13. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. You can read the book in any place.
B. The stories were written by common people.
C. The stories are categorised into different parts.
D. You don't have to read the book from start to finish.
( )14. What does the underlined word “veracity” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A. 有效性 B. 合理性 C. 完整性 D. 真实性
( )15. What is the writer's opinion on True Tales of American Life
A. It's worth reading.
B. The stories are so well-written.
C. It is more interesting than The Moth.
D. Some of the stories are not good to read on the radio.

Most people choose to live in comfort after they retire (退休), but Wang Guilan is not one of them. As a marathon (马拉松) lover, the 70-year-old woman from Liaoning, China has completed over 100 marathons in the last 19 years. People call her “Super Grannie”.

She likes running in the mountains, but in winter, when the weather doesn't permit (允许), she runs on roads. On average (平均), every year she runs for 7 months in the mountains and 5 months on the road.
Wang always believes that age is just a number, and she plans to continue running marathons and enjoying her life for as long as she can.

八、86. One possible version:
King Yu Combating the Flood is an ancient Chinese mythology. It is set in the time of Yao. It tells exciting stories about Da Yu. The Chinese land is troubled by floods. Da Yu accepts the task of controlling water after his father fails to do it. He takes a very different way from his father. He chooses to lead the water into the sea. Yu spends thirteen years in fighting against the floods without a break. During these years, he passes by his house three times and never goes in. Finally he has the floods under control. And people live in peace again.
I learn a lot from Da Yu's stories. When I meet troubles, I will try my best to solve them. If I don't, I won't give up. Instead, I will think them over and find a new way to solve them.
