A pair of best friends are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip are planning to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was Antarctica (南极洲). Getting to the southernmost continent first need crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling through the Drake Passage. It was just crazy,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all that difficulties. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable.”
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.”
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off the mountain…That’s fine. She is living the life she wanted, and I am happy for her,’” Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “The world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.”
3. What does the underlined phrase “rocking and rolling” mean in the second paragraph
A. Singing happily. B. Struggling hard. C. Crossing smoothly. D. Dancing fluently.
4. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. A pair of best friends made friends around the world.
B. A pair of best friends rode the camels in Egypt happily.
C. A pair of best friends inspired the people of all ages.
D. A pair of best friends crossed Drake Passage bravely.
5 What message does Hazelip most want to give us
A. It is never too old to learn for friends.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. The world is a book that needs reading.
D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest.
【答案】3. B 4. A 5. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一对最好的朋友Ellie Hamby和Sandy Hazelip，在81岁的年纪进行了环球旅行，证明了冒险没有年龄限制。
【3题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Getting to the southernmost continent first need crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. (要到达最南端的大陆，首先需要穿越德雷克海峡，这里出了名的波涛汹涌)”和下文“But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all that difficulties. (但是，当我们踏上南极的土地时，我们忘记了所有的困难)”可知，德雷克海峡波涛汹涌，他们穿越的时候遇到了很大的困难。由此可知，他们当时是颠簸着艰难行进，画线词的意思应该与struggling hard“拼命挣扎，努力拼搏”相近。故选B项。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world. (她说：“我们喜欢我们看到的所有景点，但我们记得最深刻的是我们遇到的人。我们遇到了一些世界上最美妙、最善良、最友好的人。我们现在全世界都有朋友。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了这对最好的朋友在世界各地交了朋友。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “The world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.” (Hazelip说：“别坐在那张椅子上浪费时间。世界是一本书，不旅行的人只读了其中一页。所以，从安乐椅上站起来，走出你的舒适区，制定一些计划，好好生活。记住，年龄只是一个数字。”)”可知，Hazelip建议人们不要被年龄所束缚，而是要充分利用生命里的时间，好好生活。由此可知，她想传达的讯息是“过充实的生活永远不会太晚”。故选D项。
第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
C
When a friend or family member gets sick, it is difficult to see them lie in bed with a fever. What can you do to make them feel better Luckily, we have some ideas. ____6____
Listen first, then respond.
Oftentimes when a friend or family member is ill, we try so hard to make them feel better that we push solutions onto them that they might not be comfortable with. For example, maybe we think it is best that they sit up, when really they just want to sleep. The first thing you can do is actually listening to what they need before trying to meet them. ____7____ Ask questions and be a comforting ear to cheer them up, before trying to respond and “fix” their problems.
____8____
Being sick can be stressful because our schedules are so full. Keeping up with kids, work and housework while you are sick is really tiring. If this is the case, listen to what your loved one is worried about, then ask if there is anything you can do to help. ____9____ Or, perhaps you could stop by the office to hand paperwork to her coworkers. Simple things like this will help a lot in taking the stress off of the ill person.
Give them space.
Finally, one of the greatest things you can do for a sick friend or family member is just to give them space. They probably don’t want to get you sick, and having a conversation may be pretty difficult at this point. So, make sure all of their needs are met, then simply leave them alone. ____10____
A. Take on their to-do list.
B. Encourage them to forget stress.
C. Avoid asking about their illnesses.
D. Don’t simply imagine what they need.
E. Maybe you could make dinner this week.
F. Check out these ways to cheer up someone who is sick.
G. Given space and time to rest and relax, they will feel better soon.
【答案】6. F 7. D 8. A 9. E 10. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了让生病的人振作起来的方法。
【6题详解】
根据前文“When a friend or family member gets sick, it is difficult to see them lie in bed with a fever. What can you do to make them feel better Luckily, we have some ideas.(当朋友或家人生病时，很难看到他们发烧躺在床上。你能做些什么让他们感觉好点 幸运的是，我们有一些想法)”可知，本文主题是介绍了让生病的人振作起来的方法，所以F项“Check out these ways to cheer up someone who is sick.(看看这些方法，让生病的人振作起来)”符合文意，介绍本文主题，并引出下文。故选F项。
【7题详解】
根据前文“For example, maybe we think it is best that they sit up, when really they just want to sleep. The first thing you can do is actually listening to what they need before trying to meet them.(例如，也许我们认为最好让他们坐起来，而实际上他们只是想睡觉。你能做的第一件事就是在尝试满足他们之前倾听他们的需求)”可知，本段主要讲述要倾听生病人的自己的想法，所以D项“Don’t simply imagine what they need.(不要简单地想象他们需要什么)”是对前文的进一步解释。故选D项。
【8题详解】
分析设空，是本段的小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Being sick can be stressful because our schedules are so full. Keeping up with kids, work and housework while you are sick is really tiring. If this is the case, listen to what your loved one is worried about, then ask if there is anything you can do to help.(生病会给我们带来压力，因为我们的日程排得满满的。生病的时候还要照顾孩子、工作和家务真的很累。如果是这样的话，听听你爱的人在担心什么，然后问是否有什么你可以帮忙的)”可知，本段主要讲述，帮助生病的人完成他们担心的事，所以A项“Take on their to-do list.(完成他们的任务清单)”是本段的小标题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
根据前文“If this is the case, listen to what your loved one is worried about, then ask if there is anything you can do to help.(如果是这样的话，听听你爱的人在担心什么，然后问是否有什么你可以帮忙的)”以及后文“Or, perhaps you could stop by the office to hand paperwork to her coworkers.(或者，你可以顺路去一下她的办公室，把文件交给她的同事)”可知，此处是在举例说明，可以帮助生病的人做什么事，所以E项“Maybe you could make dinner this week.(也许这周你可以做晚饭)”符合本段主题。故选E项。
【10题详解】
设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Finally, one of the greatest things you can do for a sick friend or family member is just to give them space. They probably don’t want to get you sick, and having a conversation may be pretty difficult at this point. So, make sure all of their needs are met, then simply leave them alone.(最后，你能为生病的朋友或家人做的最好的事情之一就是给他们空间。他们可能不想让你生病，在这一点上进行谈话可能相当困难。所以，确保他们所有的需求都得到满足，然后就不要管他们了)”可知，本段主要讲述了给生病的人一些空间，所以G项“Given space and time to rest and relax, they will feel better soon.(给他们休息和放松的空间和时间，他们很快就会好起来的)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选G项。

A pair of best friends are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip are planning to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was Antarctica (南极洲). Getting to the southernmost continent first need crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling through the Drake Passage. It was just crazy,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all that difficulties. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable.”
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.”
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off the mountain…That’s fine. She is living the life she wanted, and I am happy for her,’” Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “The world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.”
3. What does the underlined phrase “rocking and rolling” mean in the second paragraph
A. Singing happily. B. Struggling hard. C. Crossing smoothly. D. Dancing fluently.
4. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. A pair of best friends made friends around the world.
B. A pair of best friends rode the camels in Egypt happily.
C. A pair of best friends inspired the people of all ages.
D. A pair of best friends crossed Drake Passage bravely.
5. What message does Hazelip most want to give us
A. It is never too old to learn for friends.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. The world is a book that needs reading.
D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest.

Simple things like this will help a lot in taking the stress off of the ill person.
