4.After 14days and more than 19,000miles,American Steve Fossett has finally made hot-air ballooning history.On his sixth attempt(嘗試),and after surviving a fire which nearly force him to stop his attempt,F(xiàn)ossett has become the first person to fly a ballon alone around the world.
Fossett reached 117degrees longitude(經(jīng)度),the line from which he had begun two weeks earlier,during the night,and his life-long dream came true.Speaking by satellite telephone from the Australian desert,F(xiàn)ossett said all the hard work had been worth it:‘Finally,after six flights,I've succeeded!And it's a very satisfying feeling!'
Once he had crossed the finishing line,F(xiàn)ossett continued across Australia until daylight allowed him to find a safe place to land.But strong winds then forced the balloon to stay in the air a while longer.‘Balloon landings are always difficult,'said Joe Ritchie,F(xiàn)ossett's mission controller,‘but at last Steve landed safely,early on Thursday morning.'
Besides ballooning,F(xiàn)ossett holds world records in sailing and flying planes.He has also swum the English Channnel and driven in the Le Mans 24-hour car race.With his balloon adventure behind him,F(xiàn)ossett is already planning his next trip.He wants to fly an altitude of 18kilometres.But his mission controller,Joe Ritchie said:‘I'm going to have a serious talk with Steve about this.It frightens me,to be honest."

分析 【文章主旨】這是一篇敘述文.短文主要講的是福塞特的熱氣球環(huán)游世界的事,他是世界上第一個用氣球環(huán)游世界的人,作者詳細介紹了他是怎么經(jīng)歷一次次失敗后挑戰(zhàn)成功的,最后又提到了他下一次的旅程更加艱險,展現(xiàn)了主人公勇于冒險的精神.
解答 58.B 推理判斷題.A選項:根據(jù)文中第一段中的Fossett has become the first person to fly a ballon alone around the world可知Fossett是第一個用熱氣球環(huán)游世界的人,可知Ritchie并沒有和他一起.故排除.C選項:根據(jù)文中第一段中的On his sixth attempt,and after surviving a fire which nearly force him to stop his attempt,可知他遇到的問題有很多,而那場大火只是其中一個.故排除.D選項:根據(jù)第三段But strong winds then forced the balloon to stay in the air a while longer.可知大風使熱氣球在空中飄了很長的時間,而不是阻止氣球的飛行,故排除.故選B.
59.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Fossett is already planning his next trip.He wants to fly an altitude of 18kilometres.福塞特已經(jīng)計劃好了明年行程.他想飛18公里的高度.再結(jié)合:‘I'm going to have a serious talk with Steve about this.It frightens me,to be honest."可知在下次的旅行讓Ritchie感到害怕,所以下次的更加危險,故選D.
60.B 主旨大意題.縱觀全文,文章主要講的是福塞特的熱氣球環(huán)游世界的事,他是世界上第一個用氣球環(huán)游世界的人,作者詳細介紹了他是怎么經(jīng)歷一次次失敗后挑戰(zhàn)成功的,所以文章標題最好是關(guān)于福塞特和他的挑戰(zhàn),故選B.
