1、 阅读理解
A
In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. What he didn’t know then was that the journey he thought would take eight years would stretch into a remarkable 27-year trek (跋涉) across continents, oceans and history. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, surviving the attack of polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating countless visa setbacks, the 56-year-old adventurer is finally on the home stretch.
Bushby began his adventure in Punta Arenas, Chile, trekking north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he attempted one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. Armed with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to leap between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done.
His challenges didn’t stop there. Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. With a support team and co-swimmer Angela Maxwell, Bushby spent 31 days completing the 179-mile crossing, swimming a total of 132 hours.
After reaching Azerbaijan, he continued through Turkey, and now stands less than 2,000 miles from home. He hopes to recenter Europe this summer and walk into Hull by September 2026. Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean “getting to know each other again”.
Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find shelter. His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of the most extraordinary human endurance journeys ever attempted.
1.What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Common. B.Meaningless. C.Ambitious. D.Practical.
2.Why did Bushby swim across the Caspian Sea?
A.To set a new world record. B.To avoid the potential risk.
C.To shorten the distance. D.To test his physical limits.
3.What does Bushby mean by saying “getting to know each other again”?
A.It is awkward to see his family. B.It is too long since he left home.
C.He feels regretful for traveling. D.He wants to accompany his family more.
4.What does the Goliath Expedition symbolize?
A.The power of spirit. B.The need for recognition.
C.The meaning of exploration. D.The importance of adaptation.
B
Growing up in Norway (挪威), I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains.
Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather.
It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed.
When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.
When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that.
5.Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey?
A.To show her abilities. B.To escape her everyday life.
C.To explore a remote area. D.To meet an experienced team.
6.What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Flexible. B.Realistic. C.Athletic. D.Accessible.
7.What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition?
A.She braved the physical challenges. B.She enjoyed the landscape most.
C.She gained several survival skills. D.She adapted to the environment soon.
8.What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji?
A.She was ready for a new task. B.She made his expectations come true.
C.She was worthy of what she achieved. D.She did more than he believed possible.

Wilderness Survival: Essential Skills for the Outdoors
Venturing into the wilderness offers a mix of great beauty and hidden dangers. While the attraction of untouched landscapes is strong, conditions can change with surprising speed. 1 However, a basic grasp of survival techniques is still an adventurous pursuit as well as a crucial investment in one’s safety.
The importance of one’s mental state in a survival situation cannot be overstated. In a crisis, panic often clouds judgment and uses up energy faster. 2 Doing this is crucial because it allows for a correct assessment of the situation and the formation of a plan, thereby saving valuable energy.
Finding water is absolutely essential. Since the human body can only survive for about three days without it, locating a water source becomes a key task. 3 While flowing streams are generally better, any water that might be unsafe must be made clean, ideally through boiling or using purification tablets, to prevent waterborne illnesses.
4 Being out in bad weather is a main danger, as the body can lose heat even in fairly cool conditions. Building a proper shelter, therefore, is about basic survival, not comfort, helps to keep body heat in and offers protection from rain and wind.
Being able to call for help can often decide whether a rescue is successful. Sound signals, like three short blasts from a whistle, travel farther than the human voice and are understandable everywhere as a call for help. 5 In a similar way, using a mirror or any shiny surface to flash sunlight can attract the attention of planes, while a fire that produces thick smoke by day or a bright flame by night acts as a strong visual signal.
In conclusion, these skills are not only valuable for extreme sports lovers but also basic for anyone who spends time in the outdoors.
A.Instead, one must make a conscious effort to stay calm to keep thinking clearly.
B.Thus, the search for safe drinking water demands immediate and full attention.
C.Some might praise the excitement of exploring without any prior preparation.
D.Also very important is the need to keep the body warm.
E.The ability to start a fire for warmth can not be a replacement for finding food.
F.More importantly, they can cover areas where a shout might not be heard.
G.Therefore, it is advisable to test all new equipment before setting off on a trip.

In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. What he didn’t know then was that the journey he thought would take eight years would stretch into a remarkable 27-year trek (跋涉) across continents, oceans and history. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, surviving the attack of polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating countless visa setbacks, the 56-year-old adventurer is finally on the home stretch.
Bushby began his adventure in Punta Arenas, Chile, trekking north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he attempted one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. Armed with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to leap between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done.
His challenges didn’t stop there. Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. With a support team and co-swimmer Angela Maxwell, Bushby spent 31 days completing the 179-mile crossing, swimming a total of 132 hours.
After reaching Azerbaijan, he continued through Turkey, and now stands less than 2,000 miles from home. He hopes to recenter Europe this summer and walk into Hull by September 2026. Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean “getting to know each other again”.
Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find shelter. His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of the most extraordinary human endurance journeys ever attempted.
1.What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Common. B.Meaningless. C.Ambitious. D.Practical.
2.Why did Bushby swim across the Caspian Sea?
A.To set a new world record. B.To avoid the potential risk.
C.To shorten the distance. D.To test his physical limits.
3.What does Bushby mean by saying “getting to know each other again”?
A.It is awkward to see his family. B.It is too long since he left home.
C.He feels regretful for traveling. D.He wants to accompany his family more.
4.What does the Goliath Expedition symbolize?
A.The power of spirit. B.The need for recognition.
C.The meaning of exploration. D.The importance of adaptation.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国冒险家卡尔·布什比从1998年开始,计划徒步从智利返回英国故乡,历经27年、跨越3.6万英里,克服无数艰难险阻,如今即将完成这一非凡壮举的故事。
1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. (1998年,英国冒险家卡尔·布什比望着智利的一条路,定下了一个目标:不使用任何交通工具,一路步行回到英格兰的赫尔——这可谓audacious)”以及后文描述他花费27年、行走3.6万英里可知,这个目标非常大胆、有雄心。故划线词audacious意为“雄心勃勃的”,与“Ambitious”同义。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. (去年,当他无法安全穿越某个欧洲国家时,他接受了一项新的挑战——游泳横渡里海)”可知,布什比游泳横渡里海是为了避免穿越某国可能带来的安全风险。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Returning home after nearly three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. (他承认,在近三十年后回家,会感觉不真实)”和“He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with family will mean “getting to know each other again”.(他29岁时离开,归来时已58岁。他说与家人重逢意味着“重新认识彼此”)”可推知,他说“getting to know each other again”的意思是自己离开家的时间太长了,重逢意味着要重新了解彼此。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His mission, called the Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. (他的使命被称为“歌利亚远征”,它历经了五位英国首相、一次全球卫生事件和无数次战争——但他的精神仍与1998年时一样坚强)”以及全文描述他克服的种种困难可知,“歌利亚远征”象征着精神的力量。故选A项。
B
Growing up in Norway (挪威), I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains.
Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather.
It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed.
When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.
When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that.
5.Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey?
A.To show her abilities. B.To escape her everyday life.
C.To explore a remote area. D.To meet an experienced team.
6.What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Flexible. B.Realistic. C.Athletic. D.Accessible.
7.What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition?
A.She braved the physical challenges. B.She enjoyed the landscape most.
C.She gained several survival skills. D.She adapted to the environment soon.
8.What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji?
A.She was ready for a new task. B.She made his expectations come true.
C.She was worthy of what she achieved. D.She did more than he believed possible.
【答案】5.A 6.B 7.A 8.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱极地探险,14岁时为滑雪穿越格陵兰岛做准备,15岁决定前往南极洲,21岁踏上南极探险之旅的经历,展现了她追求梦想、勇敢挑战的精神。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable.(但我必须先去挪威北部的芬马克郡进行一次探险,以证明我有能力)”可知,作者去芬马克郡旅行是为了展示自己的能力。故选A项。
6.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic.(起初我没有告诉妈妈我的计划。我只告诉了爸爸,他和我一样,是个充满梦想的人。我妈妈更……)”,通过对比爸爸充满梦想,可推测妈妈更加现实,所以“pragmatic”意思是“现实的”。故选B项。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.(在最艰难的日子里,我深陷齐膝深的新雪中,10个小时只能前进9.5公里。快到终点时,我的肺部疼痛,呼吸困难)”可知,作者在南极探险期间勇敢地应对了身体上的挑战。故选A项。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg.(当我穿越格陵兰岛时,拉尔斯给我起了个绰号叫“极地蛋”。意思是有一天我会破壳而出,独自进行一次更大的探险。当我到达南极时,我给他发了一个小鸡破壳而出的表情符号)”可知,作者发送这个表情符号是想告诉拉尔斯,她实现了他的期望。故选B项。

Wilderness Survival: Essential Skills for the Outdoors
Venturing into the wilderness offers a mix of great beauty and hidden dangers. While the attraction of untouched landscapes is strong, conditions can change with surprising speed. 1 However, a basic grasp of survival techniques is still an adventurous pursuit as well as a crucial investment in one’s safety.
The importance of one’s mental state in a survival situation cannot be overstated. In a crisis, panic often clouds judgment and uses up energy faster. 2 Doing this is crucial because it allows for a correct assessment of the situation and the formation of a plan, thereby saving valuable energy.
Finding water is absolutely essential. Since the human body can only survive for about three days without it, locating a water source becomes a key task. 3 While flowing streams are generally better, any water that might be unsafe must be made clean, ideally through boiling or using purification tablets, to prevent waterborne illnesses.
4 Being out in bad weather is a main danger, as the body can lose heat even in fairly cool conditions. Building a proper shelter, therefore, is about basic survival, not comfort, helps to keep body heat in and offers protection from rain and wind.
Being able to call for help can often decide whether a rescue is successful. Sound signals, like three short blasts from a whistle, travel farther than the human voice and are understandable everywhere as a call for help. 5 In a similar way, using a mirror or any shiny surface to flash sunlight can attract the attention of planes, while a fire that produces thick smoke by day or a bright flame by night acts as a strong visual signal.
In conclusion, these skills are not only valuable for extreme sports lovers but also basic for anyone who spends time in the outdoors.
A.Instead, one must make a conscious effort to stay calm to keep thinking clearly.
B.Thus, the search for safe drinking water demands immediate and full attention.
C.Some might praise the excitement of exploring without any prior preparation.
D.Also very important is the need to keep the body warm.
E.The ability to start a fire for warmth can not be a replacement for finding food.
F.More importantly, they can cover areas where a shout might not be heard.
G.Therefore, it is advisable to test all new equipment before setting off on a trip.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了荒野充满美景与危险,掌握生存技能至关重要,需保持冷静、寻找安全水源、搭建保暖庇护所、发出求救信号,这些技能对户外人群意义重大。
1.根据后文“However, a basic grasp of survival techniques is still an adventurous pursuit as well as a crucial investment in one’s safety.(然而,对生存技巧的基本了解仍是一种充满冒险性的探索,同时也是保障自身安全的重要投资)”可知,空格后以However转折,强调“掌握基础生存技能是必要的安全保障”,由此推断空格处应是与“重视生存技能”相反的观点。选项C“有些人可能会推崇毫无准备就去探险的刺激感”,恰好与后文形成转折逻辑,衔接自然。故选C。
2.根据上文“The importance of one’s mental state in a survival situation cannot be overstated. In a crisis, panic often clouds judgment and uses up energy faster.(在生存困境中,一个人的心理状态的重要性不容小觑。在危机时刻,恐慌往往会使人丧失判断力,并加速消耗体力)”以及后文“Doing this is crucial because it allows for a correct assessment of the situation and the formation of a plan, thereby saving valuable energy.(这样做至关重要,因为它能让我们对当前情况有一个准确的判断,并制定出相应的计划,从而节省宝贵的精力)”可知,前文指出“危机中恐慌会扰乱判断、加速消耗体力”,空格后说明“这样做能正确评估情况、制定计划,节省能量”。选项A“相反,人必须有意识地保持冷静,以维持清晰思考”,既承接前文对“恐慌”的否定,又对应后文“正确评估情况”的前提,逻辑连贯。故选A。
3.根据上文“Finding water is absolutely essential. Since the human body can only survive for about three days without it, locating a water source becomes a key task.(找到水源是至关重要的。因为人体若缺水,大约只能维持三天的生命,所以找到水源就成了首要任务)”以及后文“While flowing streams are generally better, any water that might be unsafe must be made clean, ideally through boiling or using purification tablets, to prevent waterborne illnesses.(虽然流动的溪流通常较为安全,但任何可能不安全的水都必须净化处理,理想的做法是通过煮沸或使用净化片来实现,以防止水传播疾病)”可知,本段核心话题是寻找安全水源的重要性,前文提到“人体缺水只能存活约三天,找水源是关键任务”,选项B“因此,寻找安全饮用水需要立即投入全部精力”,用Thus承接前文的重要性,引出后文对“水源净化”的具体说明,契合段落主旨。故选B。
4.根据后文“Being out in bad weather is a main danger, as the body can lose heat even in fairly cool conditions. Building a proper shelter, therefore, is about basic survival, not comfort, helps to keep body heat in and offers protection from rain and wind.(在恶劣天气中外出是一个主要的危险因素,因为即使在凉爽的天气里,人体也可能散失热量。因此,建造一个合适的遮蔽所(即注重的是基本的生存需求,而非舒适度)能够帮助保持身体热量,并提供防雨和防风的保护)”可知,空格后提到“恶劣天气是主要危险,人体即使在凉爽天气也会流失热量”、“搭建庇护所是为了保暖、抵御风雨”,核心话题是保暖对生存的意义。选项D“保持身体温暖也同样重要”,能够作为本段的主旨句,引出后文的具体解释。故选D。
5.根据上文“Being able to call for help can often decide whether a rescue is successful. Sound signals, like three short blasts from a whistle, travel farther than the human voice and are understandable everywhere as a call for help.(能够发出求救信号往往能决定救援是否成功。声音信号,比如哨子发出的三声短促鸣响,比人的声音传播得更远,并且在任何地方都能被理解为求救信号)”以及后文“In a similar way, using a mirror or any shiny surface to flash sunlight can attract the attention of planes, while a fire that produces thick smoke by day or a bright flame by night acts as a strong visual signal.(同样地,利用镜子或任何反光的表面反射阳光能够引起飞机的注意,而白天产生浓烟或夜晚发出明亮火焰的火源则会形成强烈的视觉信号)”可知,本段围绕求救信号展开,前文提到“哨声三声短鸣作为求救信号,比人声传播更远且全球通用”,选项F“更重要的是,它们能传到呼喊声无法企及的区域”,用Also递进说明哨声信号的优势,且与后文“反光镜、烟火信号”的作用并列,符合语境。故选F。

【答案】
Dear classmates,
Have you ever imagined joining an expedition to Antarctica? Ernest Shackleton once posted an advertisement asking for men to face bitter cold and danger. I was enthusiastic about this adventure, but at first, Shackleton turned me down for being too young. Later, I went aboard secretly and was finally assigned as a steward.
Our ship sank after being crushed by ice. We had to abandon the ship and could only take essential belongings. On Elephant Island, life was miserable. But I truly admire Shackleton and Frank Wild for their genuine care, strong perseverance, and firm resolve. Wild even played the banjo to keep our spirits up.
Their courage in adversity teaches me that a successful failure is still a success.
Thank you.
