It started in kindergarten. I made a resolution.

  I was always curious about the globe and the World Book Encyclopedia in our house.   I'd climb up to reach them and take them off the shelves. I learned a new big word continent.

  "We live in a Melting Pot , ”I remember hearing that. I noticed maps of oceans,countries and people. I began drawing pictures of the many different people who had come from all over the world to live in the United States. I wanted to see the world！

  Through travel,education,and amazing opportunities that came my way,I began my jour?ney.

  In South America,I walked through rainforests with mountains,wild life,and ...it really rained!However,I heard a talk that rainforests are disappearing ...There're lots of languages in?cluding English in Africa and also lots of poor people who live in the disadvantaged communities hardly feeding themselves... In Europe,I found out that Big Ben is not a giant person. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower,and riding on a gondola (a kind of boat) in Venice were exciting... Sitting in a plane,I had a chance to have a glance at one of Australia's most beautiful natural gifts,the Great Barrier Reef... Asia was special when I first saw pandas. And then,in Thai?land,it was the elephants. Seeing them made me realize that animals,big and small,need the help of people like you and me...

  Antarctica is not an easy place to get to!I boarded a small plane with a scientist. While in route,depending on the weather,the pilot wasn't sure if we could land. And... we did!The scientist explained she had prepared twenty times before her first landing in Antarctica. It was like a foreign land―the land of penguins. They were all so busy but happy. My heart went out to them when I remembered the penguin movies I'd seen and the stories of sadness ...

  "Think green". I began hearing scientists predict that global warming is underway. My resolution began to evolve：I need to not just hear the words,but to learn more about " going green."I used to hear, "You can't protect what you don't know. " The one thing I've learned in all my travels is that the planet needs our help right now. We all need to find a way to help in "going green".

5-8 DAAD

B篇：從幼兒園起，"我"就決定要周游世界。通過各種方式與機(jī)會，"我"實(shí)踐了這個夢想。在旅行的過程中，"我"意識到我們的地球亟待保護(hù)，并決定要為保護(hù)環(huán)境、綠化家園做出努力。

5. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段"...who had come from all over the world to live in the United States."'可知，作者生活在美國，屬于北美洲。又根據(jù)下文作者描述自己游歷的地點(diǎn)名稱 "South America " 、 " Africa”、"Europe"、" Australia"、" Asia"及"Antarctica" 可知，作者游遍了地球上的七大洲。

6. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段"Through travel,education,and amazing opportunities that came my way,I began my journey."可知，作者通過各種不同的機(jī)會、方式了解世界。

7. A推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Antarctica is not an easy place to get to!…the pilot wasn't sure if we could land. And... we did!The scientist explained she had prepared twenty times before her first landing in Antarctica."可知，在南極洲成功著陸非常艱難，此次與作者同行的科學(xué)家嘗試了 20次才成功，而作者第一次就成功了，因此他比那位科學(xué)家要幸運(yùn)。

8. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段"I began hearing scientists predict that global warming is underway. My resolution began to evolve：I need to not just hear the words,but to learn more about ' going green' .”可知，作者通過周游世界了解到熱帶雨林將要消失、全球變暖等環(huán)境問題，意識到我們的地球亟待保護(hù)，因此他決定不能光聽不做而要為保護(hù)環(huán)境、綠化家園做出貢獻(xiàn)。

 A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina Del Rey on July 16,2009,becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.

Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina Del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 a. m. local time. During his 28,000-nauticaI-mile journey,he braved storms,equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates.

  "It's great to be back," Sunderland,of Thousand Oaks,California,said after he was wel?comed home by a group of friends.

  Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone,according to the American Sail?ing Association,which certified Sunderland's feat.

  He left Marina Del Rey,just south of Los Angeles,on June 14,2008,and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

  His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead in rough seas off Mexico,forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.

  Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected pirated boat.

  "The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto its deck with a gun to keep them off," said Cilarlie Nobles,executive director of the association.

  Sunderland,who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voy?age,threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters,where it is illegal to carry private fire?arms.

  He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone,and the youngest to date. The previous recordholder was David Dicks of Australia,who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.

(   ) 1. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is true?

   A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.

   B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.

   C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.

   D. On June 14 ,2008,he reached the Cape of Good Hope.

(   ) 2. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta?

   A. To avoid the terrible weather.

   B. To delay the time of his return.

   C. To wait for help from his father.

   D. To avoid the intruders.

(   ) 3. The youngest person who sailed around the globe alone was         .

   A. Charlie Nobles   B. David Dicks

   C. Marina Del Rey   D. Zac Sunderland

(   ) 4. What is the best title for the text?

   A. A Brave Young Man

   B. The Hardship Sunderland Experienced

   C. Who Has Sailed Around the Globe Alone?

   D. The Youngest Person to Circle the Globe Alone
