The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance tojoin a
research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn’t know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and
understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the
importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries(边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and
memories with me, influencing my life and choices.
24 .Which of the following best explains “mesmerized” underlined in paragraph 1
A .Puzzled. B .Moved. C .Attracted. D .Defeated.
25 .Which word can describe the relation between the local tribe and the rainforest
A .Exciting. B .Close. C .Relaxing. D .Separated.
26 .What can we learn about the trip from paragraph 4
A .It’s dangerous and meaningless. B .It’s fanny but unbearable.
C .It’s important and interesting. D .It’s challenging but worthwhile.
试卷第 5 页,共 13 页
27 .What is the last paragraph mainly about
A .The meaning of the trip. B .The experience of the trip.
C .The memory of the trip. D .The purpose of the trip.

Shortly before he turned 60, Mark Fuhrmann realized what he wanted. He, now, at 65, has just returned from a second voyage. His 6,835 mile-round trip from Nova Scotia took in the great lakes of the US, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.
Fuhrmann started these journeys “to kickstart retirement” from the maritime PR business he ran in Oslo for the past 30 years. Before he set off, in June last year, he swapped (交换) his house for a flat, and greatly reduced his possessions. “It was good to get rid of all of those things and
say: ‘This isn’t a phase; this is a new season,’” he says.
Amazingly, he didn’t plan his trip, beyond committing to fundraise for Medecins Sans
Frontières. “I thought: ‘I’ll try to do 40km each day. ’ But I never knew where I was going to lay down my head.”
The challenges were psychological, physical, and sometimes life-threatening. In Florida, he was chased by an alligator (短吻鳄), but narrowly escaped from it. In the Boston area, he saw “a black fin moving towards me like a snake”. He lay his oar (划桨) across his lap and waited. “If a great white shark can swim leisurely, that’s exactly what it did. It just passed me,” he says. Ten
minutes later, Fuhrmann pulled his kayak (小艇) into a cove, where he ran into a man who invited him into his home for coffee and apple pie. His whole trip was filled with these switchbacks and moments of connection with strangers, which Fuhrmann experienced as “a call to authenticity”.
What does he mean “Nature is born within us. If you avoid that, you avoid experiencing something that is vital to who you are as a person. I want real things — life isn’t about having more. I think we need to accept where we are at this stage of life, at 60 or 65.”
“I look at retirement as a season,” he says. He started his latest voyage because “I wanted to have a better understanding ofwho I was. I wanted to have time for my thoughts to wander, to
restart, to discover the value and power within myself.”
28 .Why did Fuhrmann get rid of most of his possessions
A .To make donations to charity. B .To start a new life in retirement.
试卷第 6 页,共 13 页
C .To make up for his business loss. D .To collect money for the journey.
29 .What does the underlined word “switchbacks” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A .Blessings. B .Ambitions. C .Defeats. D .Challenges.
30 .Which of the following might Fuhrmann agree with
A .The meaning of life is achieving more.
B .Old people should take things as they are.
C .It is good to have nature-based experience.
D .It is advisable for aging people to play safe.
31 .Why did Fuhrmann start his latest voyage
A .To reflect on his past. B .To discover his true self.
C .To relax his mind and body. D .To be free from the noisy world.

Leo and Max Ordo ez came roaring into the wooded park and soon they’re climbing up towering Douglas firs trees. The twins are joined by Leon Schwarcz, also 6, whose father, Joel, called out encouragement and kept a watchful eye on the young climbers.
Joel Schwarcz had a vision of turning the woods into a home for a treetop adventure park
featuring platforms, bridges, and balancing. “My favorite thing is watching people come and look at the trees and go, ‘they maybe feel a little scared, but they’ll try it out and go just a little ways up and then come down and just go a little higher and higher each time, seeing people’s confidence
grow as they are here for the hour and climbing.” he said.
Park guests get a safety belt and instructions and soon are to climb up one of four routes: The Brothers, Mount Whitney, Mount Olympus and Mount Rainier. Green bands on the trees mark out 20 feet, reds mark 30 feet and yellows mark 40 feet. Climbers can choose a difficulty level by sticking to certain color holds.
“I live here in Kingston,” he said, “and we’ve got a lot of great outdoor spaces but not a lot of opportunities for people to get out there and try something new without personally having the skill, so I wanted to bring something where people could just come on their own, and we give you the safety belt and instructions and then you’re free to play in the park.”
Schwarcz recommends that kids at a minimum of 5 years old, but the only set limits for the
试卷第 7 页,共 13 页
climbing systems are for weight. He notes that he has hosted both a 3-year-old climber and a 77-year-old climber at the park so far. “It’s a great activity for all ages.” he said.
He added, “No matter how high they get, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t make it to the yellow bands, just seeing people grow has been really the most rewarding part of starting this. It’s been super fun.”
32 .What does Joel Schwarcz hope to provide with the treetop adventure park
A .A place for people to try new outdoor activities.
B .A challenging climbing experience for children.
C .A place for people to learn climbing skills.
D .An opportunity for people to explore the woods.
33 .What is the purpose of the colored bands on the trees in the park
A .To mark different climbing routes for climbers.
B .To indicate the height of different fir trees.
C .To tell the difficulty level of climbing routes.
D .To guide climbers to the top of the fir trees.
34 .Who can participate in the treetop adventure park
A .Only experienced and cautious climbers. B .Only the children over the age offive.
C .Anyone, regardless of age or skill level. D .Only those who meet the weight limits.
35 .Which of the following best describes Joel Schwarcz
A .Considerable. B .Indifferent. C .Ambitious. D .Demanding.

I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't
interested. 36
I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning.
37 When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a

scenic Vermont.
A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack
Mountain in Phoenix. 38 And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours.
Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path 39 But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone.
40 It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life.
A .I've fallen in love with climbing mountains.
B .I carried a small backpack with water and snacks.
C .If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything.
D .I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.
E .It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories.
F .And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail.
G .Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail.

Last summer, my friends and I went on a camping trip in the mountains. We were all excited about the adventure ahead, but little did we know what was in store for us.
We arrived at the campsite in the late afternoon. The sun was setting, and the sky was
painted with hues of orange and pink. We set up our tents and started a fire to cook our dinner. As we sat around the fire, we planned our activities for the next day. We decided to go on a hike to
see the nearby waterfall.
The next morning, we woke up early and set out on our hike. The trail was steep and
narrow, but the scenery was breathtaking. We passed through the forests and crossed the streams. As we got higher, the air became colder and thinner. We had to stop frequently to catch our
breath.
After a few hours of hiking, we finally reached the waterfall. It was amazing. The water fell down from a great height, and the mist created a rainbow. We sat down to catch our breath and
take in the beauty of the waterfall.
But our adventure was far from over. As we were about to leave, we noticed dark clouds
gathering overhead. It started raining heavily, and we realized that we had not brought any rain
gear. We were completely soaked(湿透)and trembling in the cold. We decided to take shelter in a nearby cave until the rain stopped.
The cave was dark and damp, but it gave us a brief relief from the rain. We sat there for what seemed like hours, waiting for the rain to stop. But it only got worse. The thunder was so loud that it echoed through the cave, and the lightning was so bright that it lit up the cave like daylight.

M: Thanks. I’m fully prepared for it.
W: Oh, many dangers lie there, for example, extreme heat, sunburn, and insects.
M: Yes. I think getting lost is dangerous. So I bought a compass and learned a little about how to find my way in the desert.
W: That’s smart. But the biggest danger comes from animals. Do you know that a majority of poisonous snakes in the world live in Australia
M: I know. Do you think I have a chance of meeting them

I just started working for a company where all new employees go hiking in the mountains
as part of their training. The goal is to learn how to assess danger and take risks. A group often of us went to the mountains for a week. We were told we were going to go camping and rock
climbing and we had to bring all the necessary equipment. We also had to decide who would carry each item. The course itself was very exciting, even though I’m not exactly an experienced
climber and not very physically fit. Rock climbing has always seemed to me like a risky activity, and I was never brave nor had much confidence in myself. I learned that by being determined, I can get to the top of anything.

(当我有机会参加一次研究探险时,我接受了,对未来的冒险感到兴奋。)”可知,作者对即将去亚马逊雨林参加研究探险感到非常兴奋,再结合画线词后的“me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落)”可推出,亚马逊雨林的生物多样性和当地部落对作者很有吸引力。mesmerized 意为“迷住,吸引”,与 attracted 意思相近。故选 C。
25 .细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. (他们的生活方式与自然如此紧密相连,与我们的城市生活不同。)”可知, 当地部落的生活方式与自然紧密相连,二者的关系很紧密。故选 B。
26.推理判断题。根据第四段“The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However,
every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It
taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability. (这次旅行并非没有挑战。在森林里行走,应对恶劣的天气,应对未知的恐惧,考验着我们的意志力。然而,我们克服的每一个挑战都带来了成就感,并加强了我们的团队纽带。它教会了我团队合作和适应性的重要性。)”可推

测出,这次旅行虽然很有挑战,但也非常值得。故选 D。
27.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with
unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder
of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey
continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices. (我的亚马逊雨林之旅是一次有意义的经历。这段旅程突破了我的界限,给我上了宝贵的一课,给我留下了难忘的回忆。这不仅仅是一次旅行,还是对未知事物的探索,提醒我们对地球的责任。冒险可能已经结束,但旅程仍在继续,因为我带着教训和记忆,影响着我的生活和选择。)”可推测出,最后一段主要讲述了这次旅行的意义。故选 A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Mark Fuhrmann 在退休后变卖了大部分财产,开始了航行,进入自己人生中新的季节的故事。他的旅程充满了各种曲折,也有与陌生人产生联系的时刻,他享受着与自然相连的经历,期待着在航行中发现真实的自己。
28 .细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fuhrmann started these journeys “to kickstart retirement” from the maritime PR business he ran in Oslo for the past 30 years. (Fuhrmann 开始这些旅程是为了 “启动退休生活”,他从自己在奥斯陆经营了30 年的海事公关业务中退休了)”和“It was good to get rid of all of those things and say: ‘This isn’t a phase; this is a new season (摆脱所有这些东西并说‘这不是一个阶段;这是一个新的季节’是件好事)”可知,Fuhrmann 变卖了大部分财产是为了开始退休后的新生活。故选 B 项。
29 .词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“The challenges were psychological, physical, and
sometimes life-threatening. In Florida, he was chased by an alligator (短吻鳄), but narrowly
escaped from it. In the Boston area, he saw “a black fin moving towards me like a snake”. He lay
his oar (划桨) across his lap and waited. “If a great white shark can swim leisurely, that’s exactly what it did. It just passed me,” he says. Ten minutes later, Fuhrmann pulled his kayak (小艇) into a cove, where he ran into a man who invited him into his home for coffee and apple pie. (这些挑
战既有心理上的,也有身体上的,有时甚至危及生命。在佛罗里达,他被一只短吻鳄追赶,但侥幸逃脱。在波士顿地区,他看到“一条黑色的鳍像蛇一样向我移动”。他把桨放在膝盖上,等待着。“如果大白鲨可以悠闲地游泳,那么它就是这么做的。它就这么从我身边掠过,”他说。十分钟后,Fuhrmann 把他的皮艇划进了一个小海湾,在那里他遇到了一个邀请他去他

家喝咖啡、吃苹果派的男人)”可知,Fuhrmann 在航行中遇到了很多挑战,也有幸遇到善良的陌生人。由此可知,these switchbacks 指的是上文叙述的这些挑战,switchbacks 意思应该是“挑战,曲折” ,与 challenges 意思接近。故选 D 项。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段中 Fuhrmann 所说的话“Nature is born within us. If you avoid that, you avoid experiencing something that is vital to who you are as a person. (自然是与生俱来的。
如果你避免了这些,你就避免了经历一些对你作为一个人来说至关重要的事情)”可知,
Fuhrmann 认为一个人如果避免与自然接触,则会缺失很多对于自我很重要的经历。由此可知,他会同意“拥有基于自然的经历会很好” 的观点。故选 C 项。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He started his latest voyage because “I wanted to have a better understanding ofwho I was. I wanted to have time for my thoughts to wander, to restart, to
discover the value and power within myself.” (他开始最近的一次航行是因为“我想更好地了解我是谁。我希望有时间让我的思想漫游,重新开始,发现我内心的价值和力量。”)”可知, Fuhrmann 是为了发现真实的自己。故选 B 项。

watching people come and look at the trees and go, ‘they maybe feel a little scared, but they’ll try it out and go just a little ways up and then come down and just go a little higher and higher each
time, seeing people’s confidence grow as they are here for the hour and climbing.” he said.(Joel
Schwarcz 设想将森林变成一个以平台、桥梁和平衡为特色的树顶冒险公园。他说,“我最喜欢的事情就是看着人们来看看树,他们可能会觉得有点害怕,但他们会尝试一下,爬上一段路,然后再下来,每次都爬得越来越高,看着人们在这里爬上一个小时,信心不断增
强。”)”可知,乔尔·施瓦茨希望通过树梢冒险公园提供给人们探索森林的机会。故选 D 项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Green bands on the trees mark out 20 feet, reds mark 30 feet and yellows mark 40 feet. Climbers can choose a difficulty level by sticking to certain color holds.(树上的绿带表示 20 英尺,红带表示 30 英尺,黄带表示 40 英尺。攀登者可以通过查看颜色来选择难度级别。)”可知,公园里树上的彩带的作用是指明攀爬路线的困难程度。故选 C 项。
34 .细节理解题。根据第五段的“Schwarcz recommends that kids at a minimum be 5 years old,

but the only set limits for the climbing systems are for weight.

We were scared and worried. We had no way of contacting anyone, and we had no idea
how long the storm would last. We decided to wait it out and hoped for the best. Finally, after
what seemed like an eternity, the rain stopped. The sun came out, and we could see the blue sky. We quickly packed up our things and started our way back. The road was slippery and muddy, but we made it back to our campsite safely.
That night, as we sat around the fire, we reflected on our adventure. We realized that we had been through a lot, but we had also learned a valuable lesson. We had learned to be prepared for
anything and to always expect the unexpected. Our camping trip turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. We had hiked to see a magnificent waterfall, taken shelter in a cave during a
thunderstorm, and made it back to our campsite safely. We had faced our fears, which made us
stronger and wiser. It was an experience that we will never forget.
