Emma Gatewood — called “Grandma Gatewood” by the world — was one of the early thru-hikers of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.),the longest walking-only footpath in the world.She was not the first person — or even the first woman — to hike the trail (路线).Her hike was notable because she was the first woman ever to complete the trail alone at an advanced age.
When Gatewood did her first thru-hike in 1955,there were few hikers and it was hard to follow the trail.There were also many fewer resources for hikers — fewer stores near the trail and much less information available about the trail.But still,Gatewood hiked it alone,carrying only a bag and a hiking stick.She ate a lot of sausages and trail mix.Sometimes she ran out of food and ate berries she recognized in the forest.
After her hike,Gatewood had this to say about the trail in an interview:I thought it would be a nice lark.It wasn’t.There were terrible burnt-over areas and sand washouts,and most of the shelters were blown down,burned down or so dirty that I chose to sleep out of doors.This was no trail.This was a nightmare.I would never have started this trip if I had known how tough it was,but I couldn’t and I wouldn’t quit.
All things considered,the only thing more improbable than Emma Gatewood’s completing the trail at the age of 67,is that she turned around and did it again.Twice — once in 1957 and again in 1964,at the age of 76,but this time in sections.
“Gatewood inspired many hikers over the years,” says Luxenberg,president of the Appalachian Trail Museum.“People think,‘If this elderly woman could do the trail by herself,then I should be able to.’”
1.Which might be the title for Gatewood
A.The first thru-hiker of A.T.
B.The first female to hike A.T.alone.
C.The only woman thru-hiker of A.T.
D.The oldest person to hike A.T.alone.
2.What was Gatewood’s first hike like
A.She met extreme weather.
B.There was various food.
C.She met many fellow travelers.
D.There was limited information.
3.What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 mean
A.Breaking news.
B.Great fun.
C.A big challenge.
D.An improbable task.
4.What message might the text want to convey
A.Well begun is half done.
B.Action speaks louder than words.
C.Success is failure turned inside out.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

On October 27,2021,my friend and I boarded the first flight of our journey from Vancouver Island,to Peru,South America.
Twenty-four hours and four airports later we landed in Cusco,Peru,a city of one million ing from Vancouver Island with only 100 feet above sea level,we knew that we were now at a much higher altitude(海拔)—over 11,000 feet—and needed time to get used to the scarcer oxygen(缺氧) levels!We followed the advice of other travelers and the locals:drink lots of coca leaf tea and rest for a couple of hours before any activity.
We were soon hiking through the ruins and surrounding ancient castles of Cusco.Leaving Cusco the next day,we stopped at the Moray Ruins,which were used for farming by the Incas.Their size and unique design should be considered a lesson in historical engineering skills.This Inca site is one of the least known tourist destinations,but it’s one of the most interesting places to visit.
Arriving in the beautiful Sacred Valley,we stayed at Willka T’ika for the next week.This place is wonderful.We enjoyed delicious vegetarian meals,all made with local produce by loving Quechua people.
You can’t go to Peru without visiting historic Machu Picchu.The “road” up to the ruins is made up of an endless series of switchbacks(急转弯),resulting in cold sweats.It was worth the ride,though.
It was too soon before we were leaving Peru.We learned the unique history of Inca,Quechua culture,and the farming methods still widely practiced.The best thing we took away returning home to Vancouver Island was how simple and caring the people are and how deeply they love the earth and everyone they meet.

A.To have a good rest.
B.To follow the local culture.
C.To feel better at a greater height.
D.To avoid getting thirsty on the way.

A.They’re no longer used for farming.
B.They’re known to most travel lovers.
C.They’re not as interesting as expected.

7.Which can best describe the author’s trip to Machu Picchu
A.Dangerous and tiring.
B.Risky but worthwhile.
C.Enjoyable and interesting.
D.Comfortable and wonderful.
8.How does the author’s trip to Peru influence him

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了67岁的女性Emma Gatewood克服重重困难,独自徒步穿越阿巴拉契亚国家步道(A.T.)的壮举。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She was not the first person...at an advanced age.”可知,Gatewood是第一位独自徒步阿巴拉契亚国家步道(A.T.)的女性,由此推知“The first female to hike A.T.alone.”可以作为她的头衔。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When Gatewood did her first thru-hike in 1955...much less information available about the trail.”可知,当Gatewood第一次徒步时,信息非常有限。
3.B 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“I thought it would be”可知,Gatewood想象中的徒步旅行是“a nice lark”,而真实情况完全不一样,是一场噩梦,由此推知,画线词“a nice lark”是指想象中的“乐趣”。
4.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了67岁的女性Emma Gatewood克服重重困难,独自徒步穿越阿巴拉契亚国家步道(A.T.)的壮举,由此推知,文章想表达的是只要意志坚定,没有克服不了的问题,即“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.(世上无难事,只怕有心人)”。故选D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者和朋友的南美洲秘鲁之旅中的见闻感悟。

4.F 小标题“Talk to people”及上文“If you’re going to a touristy place like Thailand,there are lots of other people who are travelling alone.”说明要和人们聊天,如果你要去泰国这样的旅游胜地,会有很多人独自旅行。F项中的“they”指的就是上文中提到的那些独自旅行的人,而“talk”和“communicate”则对应小标题中的“Talk”。因此F项“很有可能的是,很容易跟他们交谈,而且他们想要交流”符合语境。故选F项。

Like Indiana Jones (a fictional character),who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time,my father is a businessman by day and a thrill-seeker by night.
His enthusiasm rubbed off on me,and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures.We started out by riding America’s fastest,most twisted roller coasters.After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon(峡谷)on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe.
Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world.Skydiving was especially thrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps.We have bungee jumped from the world’s highest platform,Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa.Most recently,in Interlaken,Switzerland,we attempted canyoning(溪降运动).
Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning.Our adventure began with a 90-foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice-cold river.Then we crossed the bone-chilling water toward the mouth of the river,our final destination,where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin.We slid over slippery rocks at one moment,jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next.Back and forth we alternated,climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water.Certainly,danger was waiting for us in each of these activities,but that very danger provided the rush.Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another,from beginning to end.
While canyoning is possible only in certain places,thrills and adventures can be found anywhere.Our beginnings in the US showed us just that.We continue to seek the big thrills,but in doing so,we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well.After all,we can’t go canyoning every day,and small thrills are better than none for us thrill-seekers.
4.What do we know about the author’s father
A.He is a very successful businessman.
B.He is doing a part-time job.
C.He likes Indiana Jones very much.
D.He enjoys experiencing adventures.
5.What does the underlined phrase “rubbed off on” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Related to. B.Kept off.
C.Affected. D.Confused.
6.What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning
A.Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water.
B.Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.
C.Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels.
D.Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river.
7.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A.Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well.
B.We had better go abroad to experience canyoning.
C.Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.
D.America is the most proper place to experience adventures.

Scrolling through Instagram can quickly convince you that everyone’s life is more interesting than yours.During a particularly adventurous week on Instagram Stories recently,I saw water skiing in Maui,hiking in Yosemite and swimming with wild pigs in Bermuda.I started Googling flights to new places.Then I ordered pho,Vietnam’s national dish,from the same Vietnamese place I eat at every week and returned to the same old routine and...felt bad about not trying somewhere new.
Evolutionarily,human brains tend to find newfangled experiences more exciting and attention-grabbing than repeat experiences.They can’t process all the stimuli(刺激) around us,so we evolved to pay attention to new,flashy and potentially dangerous things more intently than familiar things,which we’ve seen enough to know they’re not dangerous.What’s more,words like “repetition” and “repetitiveness” tend to be associated with more negative emotions.
However,recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests we ought to reconsider how we digest those feelings of monotony(单调).Some previous research has painted a negative picture of repeat experiences,saying that doing the same thing twice can feel less valuable.But Ed O’Brien,a professor of behavioral science,wondered whether people actually underestimate how positively they react to repeat experiences.
To test this theory,Mr.O’Brien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus once in full(various stimuli were tested,including museum visits,movies and video games).Next,after dividing them into two groups,the first group of participants were asked to imagine repeating the experience,while the second actually did repeat the experience.Counter to previous research,Mr.O’Brien found that across the board,repeat experiences were far more enjoyable than participants predicted.In other words:You’re far more likely to enjoy something the second time around than you think.
“Brand-new experiences are definitely great for enjoyment,” said Mr.O’Brien.“And our studies don’t go against this idea.In many cases,the brand-new option is better.But,what our studies emphasize is that repeat options also might have high hedonic(快乐的) value and might also come with lower costs to acquire than a purely new option.”
8.What did the author think of her own life
A.It included many exciting things.
B.It depended heavily on social media.
C.It was highly adventurous.
D.It was boringly repetitive.
9.How do our brains usually respond to stimuli from familiar things
A.They may pay little attention to them.
B.They may process them first.
C.They may feel uncertain of them.
D.They may consider them as positive things.
10.What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2
A.Fictional. B.Fascinating.
C.Novel. D.Significant.
11.What did the second group of participants do during the experiment
A.They experienced the same stimuli twice.
B.They imagined their old experiences twice.
C.They repeated similar activities many times.
D.They predicted the first group’s experiences.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica,she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle,lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.

In March 2008,Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before,to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises,the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,”Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans,was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
