WELCOME UNIT UNIT 2　 TRAVELLING AROUND 纯话题阅读 If you could sail around the world with only one companion, who would you choose? Guirec Soudee, a 24­year­old man from France, chose his pet chicken. Soudee has been sailing around the world for two years. No matter which country he sails to, Monique, the hen, is by his side. He found her in the Canary Islands and knew 经验贴14　阅读题中关注段与段、句子与句子之间的衔接词，如：表示转折的词：but, however, nevertheless, while, though等，常常隐藏着答案或能推导出答案。 纯话题阅读 2 right away they were meant to be best companions. “I didn't speak any Spanish and she didn't speak any French, however, we could always have a small talk, even though she didn't understand me，” Soudee joked. He had always wanted a companion for his journey and originally thought about bringing a cat, before deciding it would be too much work to look after on a boat. Upon meeting Monique, Soudee realized a hen was the perfect choice. He believed they could communicate with each other well. 纯话题阅读 3 Not only does it cost little to raise Monique, but she lays eggs as well—some things that are always a plus in a situation where storing a lot of food can be a challenge. She lays about six eggs a week on average, even in cold climates like Greenland, where Soudee and Monique are docked (进港) now. And what happens when the weather at sea gets bad? Usually Soudee lets Monique stay freely on the boat, but when the winds get terrible he ensures she is safe in her hutch so that she doesn't fall out of his boat and into the sea. Another thing Soudee must care for is the rule in every country he visits. They had met with customs officials in Canada. He was permitted to keep her, but he knows they might not always be so lucky. 纯话题阅读 4 Although Monique can sometimes get n is nerves, Soudee says she's much better than a human companion aboard. “She follows me everywhere. All I need to do is shout ‘Monique！’ and she will come to me, sit on me, listen to my small talk and give me company，” he said. After visiting Greenland, they'll head down the Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska. From there the destination is undecided, but Soudee will certainly discuss where they should travel to next with Monique. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了来自法国的24岁男子Guirec Soudee (吉雷克·苏迪)和他的宠物鸡一起航行环游世界的故事。 纯话题阅读 5 1．What is so special about Soudee's sailing around the world?

Since the teen was born deaf, she was worried that her deafness would prevent her from receiving any details about her flight from Baltimore, Maryland to Rochester, New York. To make matters worse, she had a connecting flight from the big JFK International Airport, which can be an extremely busy airport for even the most experienced fliers. “I felt nervous because ... what if I miss my flight？” Ashley told WJLA through an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter (口译员). 纯话题阅读 10 Thankfully, Ashley had a safe and successful flight—and thanks to a kind flight attendant (乘务员), it was also a particularly memorable one. Shortly after Ashley's plane took off from Baltimore, her Delta airline flight attendant handed her a handwritten note which explained everything about the flight and safety information. Ashley told reporters that she had never experienced such kindness before, and the note, which she now plans to keep forever, meant the world to her. 纯话题阅读 11 Delta later responded to the story by praising their flight attendant for her communication and announcing their plans to make airline travel more helpful for deaf passengers. Over the course of the next few months, airline attendants who can use ASL will be encouraged to wear a sign that will identify them to passengers. “With this improvement, customers will immediately be able to recognize when they hold sign language as a common connection，” a Delta spokesperson told WJLA. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。听障女孩Ashley (阿什利)首次独自乘飞机并面临肯尼迪国际机场转机挑战，幸遇通晓美国手语(ASL)的乘务员，细心的乘务员用纸条写下了关于航班的信息和安全事项。 纯话题阅读 12 5．What made the travel even harder for Ashley? A．Having no ASL interpreter. B．Missing the connecting flight. C．Taking a plane to travel alone. D．Having to change planes at a big airport. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To make ... experienced fliers.(更糟糕的是，她要从大型肯尼迪国际机场转机，即使对于最有经验的乘客来说，这个机场也相当繁忙。)”可知，让Ashley觉得这次旅行更艰难的是在大型机场转机。故选D。 纯话题阅读 13 6．How did Ashley feel after receiving the note from the attendant? A．Nervous. B．Moved. C．Relaxed. D．Calm. 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ashley told reporters that ... world to her.”可知，Ashley以前从没有遇到过这种善举，这个纸条她会永远保存，对她来说意义非凡。由此可推知，Ashley收到纸条后非常感动。故选B。 纯话题阅读 14 7．Why are attendants who can speak ASL encouraged to wear signs? A．To be recognized easily. B．To improve their image. C．To show off their abilities. D．To be praised by their leaders. 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Over the course ... them to passengers.(在接下来的几个月里，鼓励会使用美国手语的乘务员佩戴标志，以便乘客辨认他们。)”可知，会美国手语的乘务员被鼓励佩戴标牌是为了便于乘客辨认。故选A。 纯话题阅读 15 8．What can be the suitable title for the text? A．A Written Note to an Airline B．Teenager's First Travel by Plane C．Airline's Requests for Attendants D．Deaf Teen's Thanks to Flight Attendant 解析：标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中的“Thankfully, Ashley had ... particularly memorable one.(幸运的是，Ashley经历了一次安全而成功的飞行——多亏了一位善良的乘务员，这也是一次特别难忘的飞行经历。)”可知，文章讲述听障女孩Ashley独自坐飞机，得到好心乘务员的帮助的故事，D项(听障女孩对乘务员的感谢)最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 纯话题阅读 16 My mother is now 90.Thankfully, she is blessed with good health. I still remember ten years ago when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independent birthday”. One day she informed us she'd booked a seven­night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question! 纯话题阅读 17 She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone, after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days. He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow，” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address details and promised to ship them to Canada. They would be arriving in three or four weeks. My mother beamed (眉开眼笑) as she told this story. The blanket seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada. 纯话题阅读 18 To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa. To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada. He called our mother to inform her he was in Ottawa. “I invited him over and he came by for a cup of tea. They drink a lot of tea in Turkey，” my mother told my horrified brother and me. Her trip of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realization that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy living or get busy dying.” 纯话题阅读 19 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了母亲独自进行的80岁生日之土耳其之旅，从而告诉我们要好好生活。 纯话题阅读 20 9．Why did the author's mother go to Turkey alone? A．To make the author and the brother surprised. B．To celebrate her 80th birthday independently. C．To prepare herself to enter her ninth decade. D． To inform the author that she needed independence. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容以及第三段中的“One day she informed us she'd booked a seven­night trip to Turkey. Alone.”可知，当母亲80岁的时候，她用她所说的“独立生日”给了作者和哥哥一个惊喜。她告诉他们，她预订了独自一人的土耳其七天之旅。由此可知，作者的母亲独自去土耳其是为了庆祝她的80岁生日。故选B。 纯话题阅读 21 10．Which of the following best describes the mother's trip to Turkey on the whole? A．Colorful. B．Boring. C．Dangerous. D．Challenging. 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success.

D．He is friendly and reliable. 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，母亲买的毯子真的收到了，还有卖家Mustafa (穆斯塔法)写的一张可爱的纸条，并且第二年Mustafa本人来到了加拿大。他打电话给母亲自己在渥太华。即卖毯子的人遵守承诺，而且和母亲建立了友谊，由此可推知，他为人友善且值得信赖。故选D。 纯话题阅读 23 12．What can we learn from the text? A．It's never too old to learn. B．East or West, home is best. C．Life should be well lived. D．Time and tide wait for no man. 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Her trip of ... is to be lived. (她的独立之旅似乎是深思熟虑地基于一种认识：人生应当充分体验。)”可知，我们能从文章中学到人生应当充分体验。故选C。 纯话题阅读 24 My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip­gen travel—grandparents taking fun­filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along. A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip­gen travel gets popular for good reasons. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. 纯话题阅读 25 “How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children，” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It's not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it's them but it's us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers (同龄人). 纯话题阅读 26 It's also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves—some much­needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries. 纯话题阅读 27 However, skip­gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强，跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现，跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。 纯话题阅读 28 13．Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A．To lead in the trend of skip­gen travel. B．To share the pleasure in going fishing. C．To stress the importance of family ties. D．To show the growing interest in adventure. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My granddad ... skip­gen travel(小时候，爷爷会经常给我制作捕鱼工具，我们会在河边待上好几个小时。那些时光对我俩来说都十分美好。如今，越来越多的祖父母有更强的冒险意识。一种趋势正流行起来：跨代旅行)”可推知，作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出跨代旅游这一潮流。故选A。 纯话题阅读 29 14．Which of the following may Annie Collins agree? A．Many parents are too strict with children. B． Grandparents benefit more from skip­gen travel. C．Spending time with grandparents is better for kids. D． Children become mature when away from parents. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“my grandchildren”和“Who gets the most ... it's them but it's us.(谁能从中获益最多？你可能认为是他们，但其实是我们。)”可知，身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者，Annie Collins (安妮·柯林斯)认为祖父母从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。 纯话题阅读 30 15．What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip­gen travel? A．They enjoy the moment to relax. B．They feel less anxious and stressed. C．They miss their kids very much. D．They look forward to their own trip. 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“So knowing the kids ... recharge their batteries.(所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好，父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间用来休息和自我充电。)”可知，当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时，父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间，用来放松和休整。故选A。 纯话题阅读 31 16．What does the author suggest grandparents do? A．Get kids involved in travel planning. B．Strengthen the bond with grandchildren. C．Reduce skip­gen travel appropriately. D．Make decisions in both sides' interests. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They surely treasure ... for everyone involved.(他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会，但当只有年轻人自己乐在其中时，更明智的做法是拒绝，因为旅行本应对参与其中的每个人都是件好事。)”可知，作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件各方都有益处的事，由此可推知，作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。 纯话题阅读 32 R $
