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.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
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.
4.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A.Try challenging things. B.Take a degree.
C.Bring back lost memories. D.Stick to a promise.
5.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A.Lovely penguins. B.Beautiful scenery.
C.A discount fare. D.A friend's invitation.
6.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A.It could be a home for her. B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved. D.It needs to be fully introduced.
7.What is the text mainly about
A.A childhood dream. B.An unforgettable experience.
C.Sailing around the world. D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.

高考真题练

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了在阿姆斯特丹租用自行车旅行的相关事宜。
1.B 细节理解题。根据题干关键词“an advantage of MacBike”可定位到第二段。根据“With over 2,500 bikes stored in our five rental shops at strategic locations, we make sure there is always a bike available for you.”可知,在重要地段有五家可以出租自行车的店铺,有超过2,500辆自行车而非店铺,可排除D项;由第二段最后一句中的“in a wide variety”可知,MacBike提供了很多种自行车供游客选择。故选B。A、C两项文中未提及。
2.C 细节理解题。本题问价格,可定位到表格部分;根据题干关键词“a bike with hand brake and three gears”可定位到表格第二列。一辆有手刹和三排挡的自行车租一天需要14.75欧元,每增加一天需额外支付8欧元,由此可知,一辆有手刹和三排挡的自行车租两天的价格是14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。
3.D 细节理解题。根据题干关键词“the guided city tour”可定位到最后一段。根据“The tour departs from Dam Square...”可知,旅游团从Dam Square出发。故选D。

长难句
原句 With over 2,500 bikes stored in our five rental shops at strategic locations, we make sure there is always a bike available for you.
分析 句中with的复合结构作状语,主语为we,谓语make sure后为省略了that的宾语从句,宾语从句使用了there be句型。
译文 我们在关键位置的五家租赁商店里存放了超过2,500辆自行车,确保总会有一辆自行车可供您使用。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就热爱旅行,渴望探险,在结束了自己职业舞者生涯和孩子们另立门户之后,她开始周游世界,并在2008年踏上了前往南极洲的旅程。
4.A 词义猜测题。本题题干意为:下面哪个选项最好地解释了第二段中画线的“take the plunge” A.尝试具有挑战性的事物;B.取得一个学位;C.找回失去的记忆;D.坚守承诺。根据第二段中的“Throughout her career as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.(在她的职业舞者生涯中,她曾在英国巡演,但总是渴望进一步地去探索。 当她不再跳舞,她的儿子们最终另立门户时,她决定是时候冒险了。)”可知,Ginni Bazlinton热爱探险,但是由于事业和家庭的牵绊没能早点去外面的世界探索,而当儿子们长大,自己也退休的时候,外出冒险的机会就来了。故选A。
5.C 细节理解题。本题题干意为:是什么让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的 A.可爱的企鹅;B.美丽的风景;C.折扣票价;D.朋友的邀请。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.(正是在智利,她发现自己可以在最后的一分钟买到从南美洲大陆最南端火地岛外的岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票。)”可知答案为C项。
6.C 推理判断题。本题题干意为:旅行结束后,Ginni对南极洲有什么看法 A.南极洲可以成为她的家;B.南极洲应该很容易到达;C.南极洲应该被很好地保护;D.南极洲需要被详尽地介绍。根据最后一段可知,Ginni最深刻的感受之一是意识到这是一块宝贵的土地,应该受到人类的尊重。故选C。
7.B 主旨大意题。本题题干意为:这篇文章主要讲的是什么 A.童年的梦想;B.难忘的经历;C.环球航行;D.在南极洲遇见动物。根据第一段可知,当Ginni Bazlinton到达南极洲时,她发现一群巴布亚企鹅正渴望向她问好。这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎她,并开启了Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行。故选B。
易错归因
本题容易误选A项和C项。原文在第二段提到了Ginni从小就热爱旅行,但全文并没有强调童年梦想,故排除A。原文中Ginni渴望探索世界,但是环游的方式可能不局限于sailing(乘船航行)一种,并且原文第一段就表明此文重点描述了Ginni在南极洲的旅行体验,几乎不涉及其他地区,所以应该是一次(在南极洲的)难忘的经历,故排除C。
【高考词汇站】 1.professional 2.eventually
3.impression 4.realization 5.启动;促使……开始
6.渴望 7.在……巡回演出 8.另立门户 9.被深刻领会;正中要害,说到点子上
长难句
原句 The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
分析 本句为主从复合句。第一个that引导同位语从句,解释说明realization的内容;第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词things。
译文 意识到这是一片应受到人类尊重的宝贵的土地,对Ginni来说是她深刻领会到的最重要的事情之一。
