But this wasn’t just any normal trip. Mr. Pedersen spent nearly 10 years visiting every country in the world---and he did it all without flying. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read a passage about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could finish his trip in about four years, but the world had other plans. The first part of his trip was easy, but as he moved on, things began to get hard. Once in order to cross a large body of water, Mr. Pedersen had to be on a boat for days and felt sick, being tossed (颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. with a limited (有限的) budget (预算) , sometimes he was invited by local people into their homes. At other times he had to sleep outside. What’s worse, he once became seriously ill with a disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen said that he didn’t give up the trip because of the help he got from people all over the world. “You might have to try 1000 closed doors,” he explained. “But there is always an open door somewhere. Never, ever give up.” In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260, 000 miles-that means he can go around the earth about 10 times. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his trip around the world. 86. What made Mr. Pedersen start his trip? A. The dream of breaking a record. B. The encouragement of his family. C. A traveler’s experience from a passage. D. A promise to his friends. 87.

Never Too Old to Start B The consumption (消费) idea and lifestyle of the young people are quietly changing. There is a new idea called Reverse (反向的) Consumption. It means that people no longer blindly buy very expensive things, but pay more attention to the cost performance (性价比). As a result, they are more willing to buy what they really need and compare the prices before buying them. Reverse consumption actually encourages people not to waste. Compared with traditional consumption habits, it refuses to keep buying new goods, and pays more attention to the quality (品质) of them. This idea has already become popular among the young. ★ News such as “young people are not crazy about changing their mobile phones anymore”, “challenging 5-day within 27 yuan” and others have been on the front pages of newspapers. Why are young people changing their ideas and spending less on buying? One of the reasons is that people have a different understanding of quality life. They come to realize that money and goods do not bring true happiness. They start to care more about personal growth, spirit and the building of social relationships. As a result, they begin to focus more on their inner needs, which helps to achieve a more meaningful life. Young people are also caring more about the environment. Blind consumption may cause not only waste but also environmental pollution. So, they begin to play a part in protecting the environment through this new way of consumption. Instead of buying new things from traditional stores, many young people are turning to second-hand markets to find goods that can be reused or recycled. Reverse consumption influences (影响) the market and sellers in turn. The companies have to improve the quality of their goods and offer better services as well. One thing is for sure-goods with higher quality and lower prices win. 91. Which of the following is Reverse Consumption? A. Buying shoes more than you need. B. Buying bags you really need. C. Changing smart phones often. D. Choosing cheap bags only. 92. What leads to Reverse Consumption? A. Being tired of shopping. B. Being afraid to try new things. C. Believing in expensive things. D. Seeing the inner needs. 93. Which of the following can be best put in ★ ? A. And it has made a difference to their buying decisions. B. Because they can’t afford new goods. C. So they are on the way of blind consumption. D. Then they stop to live a hard life. 94. To win young people’s hearts, a company should ____________. A. take environmental problems less seriously B. sell environment friendly goods C. offer beautiful goods in poor quality D. put more ads on TV 95. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards Reverse Consumption? A. He can’t understand it. B. He says yes to it. C. He is unsure about it. D. He is against it. 九、综合填空 (共10小题；每小题1分、满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据上下文或括号内单词等提示，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 “If you feel unloved, go mountain climbing, after which you will be sore all over and won’t think about it anymore. “ Recently, a self-made sign post at Yuelu Mountain in Changsha has caught ____________ (96) (people) attention.
