Her mother began her own travel business at a young age, and always took Lexie with her on all her travels. By the time she was only 18 years old, Lexie had already visited 70 countries. That made her want to visit the rest of the world. In October 2017, Lexie began a trip to visit all 195 countries in the world. Two years later, she finally finished it. Lexie used planes, boats and trains to get around. But she liked to travel by train best. “Travelling on trains is slow travel. I can watch the changing views from the window,” she said. For Lexie, there’s nothing better than travelling. Even in the hard times, she never thought of giving up. “I’m lucky I made it at last. I felt tired, but it was still an exciting trip. I experienced nothing but love and kindness from the people I met in each and every country,” she said. “And I learned a lot about the world. The world would be so boring if everything was the same everywhere. The differences make discovering new cultures such a beautiful experience.” Lexie hopes others, especially women and young people, can go out and see the world. Her biggest goal (目标) is to encourage others to push their limits (极限), no matter how big or small they may be. We live in such a big and beautiful world.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国女孩Lexie Alford在21岁时完成环游世界所有国家的旅行故事，包括她的旅行背景、方式、感受以及对其他人的鼓励。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段提到“Are you interested in travelling? Do you want to travel around the world?”可知，作者通过两个问题引出话题，所以作者是通过提问的方式开始这篇文章。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段提到“In October 2017, Lexie began a trip to visit all 195 countries in the world.

That made her want to visit the rest of the world. In October 2017, Lexie began a trip to visit all 195 countries in the world. Two years later, she finally finished it. Lexie used planes, boats and trains to get around. But she liked to travel by train best. “Travelling on trains is slow travel. I can watch the changing views from the window,” she said. For Lexie, there’s nothing better than travelling. Even in the hard times, she never thought of giving up. “I’m lucky I made it at last. I felt tired, but it was still an exciting trip. I experienced nothing but love and kindness from the people I met in each and every country,” she said. “And I learned a lot about the world. The world would be so boring if everything was the same everywhere. The differences make discovering new cultures such a beautiful experience.” Lexie hopes others, especially women and young people, can go out and see the world.
