22．阅读理解
A crew (全体船员) of six teenage
girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after braving
seasickness and strong winds.
For the past three years, the Sea Cadet
teenagers who set sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained (担任队长) the boat, said this was the first time he'd taken out an
all-female crew.
The girls asked for an all-girls trip in
August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea
Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a
day in rotating shifts (轮流换班) along the coast and then return.
Things turned out differently, however. "The first night was difficult
because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down," said
Abby Fairchild, 16. "Everybody got seasick." Noakes gave the girls
the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. "But
they decided they were going."
The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight
and slept in shifts. "We've learned everything from controlling the boat
to putting up the sails while we have rough seas," said 15-year-old Olivia
Wilcox.
The teenagers stopped on land in
Massachusetts. They didn't make it to their original destination (目的地) in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner,
due to the weather and winds. They said they weren't disappointed, however, as
they'd learned a lot. "They learned about boating, and above all, they
built confidence and character," said Noakes.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美国第一次全体女船员的航海旅行，她们在旅行中克服困难相互合作，她们树立了信心和品格。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“'The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,' said Abby Fairchild, 16. 'Everybody got seasick.'”可知，第一天大家都晕船了。故选A。
