has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. she will also not be recognized by the world speed sailing record council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old. ms watson sailed into sydney port on saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. family, friends and australian prime minister kevin rudd have gathered to greet her. thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as ms watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. many more australians watched the event broadcast live on television. watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.ms watson left sydney on 18 october, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. watson traveled northeast through the south pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to cape horn at the tip of south america, across the atlantic ocean to south africa, through the indian ocean and around southern australia. the route took her through some of the worlds most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.people around the world have followed ms watsons adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). on her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. ms watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. she is planning to write a book on her experience. 56. which of the following oceans didnt ms watson cross through in her voyage?a. the pacific ocean.b. the arctic ocean.c. the indian ocean.d. the atlantic ocean.57. ms watsons voyage will not be considered an official world recordmainly because _. a. no one can prove that her route was dangerous enough b. she hasnt applied for the recordc. teenagers are not encouraged to take such a dangerous adventure d. girls are not allowed to take part in the dangerous sports58. we can make a conclusion from this passage that watson a. would make another voyage for money b. made the world round voyage for money c. had no way to communicate with others during the voyage d. is so confident and brave that she could overcome through on her own59. all the following can be inferred from this passage except that a. her book about her voyage is a best seller b. people in australia had much interest in her voyage c. she spent more than 200 days alone at sea d. people have different attitudes towards her voyage b.since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon. the romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon. they called it “moonday”, or “monday”, as we know it today. later, the great mind of leonardo da vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born. four and a half centuries later, leonardos idea was realized. apollo ii took three americans, collins, aldrin, and armstrong to the moon. the mission (任务) did fill the whole world with great surprise, as leonardo had said it would. numerous essays, articles, and books were written about mans first moon mission. but perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event over 100 years before. in 1865, french author jules verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon. his story was very similar to the 1969 apollo ii mission. vernes spacecraft also contained three mentwo americans and a frenchman. the spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as apollo ii. the launch (发射) site in vernes story was also in florida. the spacecraft in vernes story was named the “columbiad”. the apollo ii command ship was called “columbia”. his account of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how apollo ii was sent into the space. 60.leonardo da vinci said that a great machine bird would _. a. bring great honor to the moon b. fly toward the sun c. explore the heavens d. take people to the moon 61.jules verne wrote his story of a mans visit to the moon about _. a. 100 years before the apollo ii mission b. 10 years before the apollo ii mission c. four and one a half centuries ago d. 100 years ago 62.vernes story is very similar to _. a. the first u.s. space mission b. the apollo ii mission c. leonardo da vincis story d. numerous other books on the same subject 63.the underlined word “spacecraft” probably means _.a. a kind of rocketb. a kind of plane c. a kind of train d. a kind of buscwhen a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. the more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, “it could just as easily have been me.” such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile（脆弱的）life is, and it may cause you to reassess(重新评价) the direction of your own life.jacks story is a good example. a successful businessman making a lot of money, jack didnt spend as much time with his family as he wanted. his job required him to work long hours. but three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. he died while celebrating his daughters eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. he was only fifty years old.not long after his friends death, jack started to have a chest pain. finally he had a good physical check-up. he received a clean bill of health. but the chest pain continued. he kept thinking of the death of his friend. jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friends family to manage after he passed away.jack realized that he didnt want to end up his life that way. he talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. the family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. now he is running a small art gallery(画廊). he is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life. and he has got no more chest pain.64. your close friends death is _ to you.a. a warning b. commonc. a direction of life d. an example65. the underlined sentence in the third paragraph means “_”.a. the doctor didnt write a word on

interest in lifeb. realize that he missed the friend very muchc. doubt his way of lifed. ill for some time67. while living in the small town jack _.a. earns less money b. gets more timec. has a happier life d. does all these mentioned abovedhobbs was an orphan（孤儿）. he worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. hard work made him thin and weak. he wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts. one day a lawyer said to him, “one thousand dollars, and here is the money.” as hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. he didnt know where the money came from and how to spend it. he said to himself, “i could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or i give up my work in the factory and do what id like to do: painting pictures. i could do that for a few weeks, but what would i do after that? i should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. if it were a little less money, i would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. if it were more, i could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. but its too much for one and too little for the other.” “here is the reading of your uncles will（遗嘱）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. i must ask you to remember one point. your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “yes, i see. ill do that,” said the young man.68. hobbs wanted to borrow money to _. a. study
