Section Ⅲ　　Learning About Language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year.She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade.She didn't feel too old to travel. Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded.Try renting a car in Europe, for example.In Croatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70.Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities.That feels like a “no” for many travelers. Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age.It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog.She recalls a 93­year­old who was disabled and traveling alone on a Caribbean tour, “You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care.” she says.“Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it.So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation.” But some tour operators serve older travelers.For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members.“We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s.Some travel as a couple and some alone，” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon.“We have no age limit.” If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number.It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability.“Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect，” says Sara Baer­Sinnott, president of a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours.“Someone in their 40s may struggle more than someone in their 80s.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就老年人是否适合旅行这一话题进行讨论。作者通过一些事例和旅行专家的观点来说明想要旅行，年龄不是问题，主要看健康状况。 1．What is Schaefer expected to do if she travels in Croatia this year? A．She can rent a car to go around. B．She will receive 24/7 medical care. C．She has to pay more insurance fees. D．She can participate in all the activities. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段“In Croatia, Schaefer wouldn't be ...certain activities.”可知，Schaefer预计，如果今年去克罗地亚旅行，她将支付更多的保险费。 2．What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93­year­old's traveling? A．His old age. B．His stubborn personality. C．His lack of medical skills. D．His poor physical condition. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段“Definitely some folks ...a retirement blog.”可知，Veldman认为对于旅行者来说，年龄不是问题，重要的是身体健康。由此可推知，Veldman不同意一名93岁的老人去旅行的最主要原因可能是他糟糕的健康状况。 3．What do we know about Grand Circle Travel? A．It is a non­profit traveling organization. B．It is intended for the senior customers. C．It offers service to a wide range of travelers. D．It has a history of more than seven decades. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段“‘We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s.Some travel as a couple and some alone，’says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon.‘We have no age limit.’”可知，Grand Circle Travel为各种各样的旅行者提供服务。 4．What is the author's attitude towards traveling at an old age? A．Objective. B．Favorable. C．Tolerant. D．Critical. 解析：选A　观点态度题。根据第三段“Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age.”和第五段“If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number.”以及全文内容来看，作者通过引用事例和旅行专家的观点来表明年龄不是阻碍老年人旅行的主要原因，应重点考虑健康状况。文章从客观的角度来分析老年人是否适合去旅行，所以，作者对于老年人是否可以旅行的态度是客观的。 Ⅱ.完形填空 I've always loved animals, particularly lions and tigers, and I was desperate to see them in their natural habitat.I managed to __5__ my parents to lend me the money I needed to book the flights, accommodation, etc.And I was off.
