Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.
小题1:
When did the trip most probably happen?
| A．On a dull Sunday. | B．On a warm Sunday. |
| C．On a summer Sunday. | D．On a winter Sunday. |
It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.
| A．felt a little nervous |
| B．felt a little excited |
| C．were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base |
| D．got bored with staying with their field assistant |
What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?

| B．A wrong decision was made. |
| C．The truth was the opposite. |

I set off on January 3, 2010. I set my sights on getting past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days.
Day 20, January 22, was gray and cloudy. I could have done something to celebrate, such as treating myself to a chocolate bar. But I didn’t.
I was suffering from terrible loneliness. I hadn’t seen landing over two weeks. Every day was beginning to feel the same. Eating, rowing, sleeping, watch the sky, watch the ocean.
Then, around sunset, I saw something move on the horizon. They were dolphins! They circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so grateful. They had come to help me celebrate, just when I needed them. I rowed at full strength for the next 20 minutes with the dolphins around. By the time we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely. Better yet, I knew I would be okay.
I did make it, all 2,817 miles. I hit the coast of Guyana, South America, on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. My ocean row raised $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, which funds drinking water programs around the world. I know some athletes spend the entire journey imagining the end, and that helps them get through. But for me, the secret is to focus on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, those dolphins, which freed myself from terrible loneliness.
小题1:
Which is the step taken as part of preparation for the tough row?
| A．swimming the 325-mile length of the river |
| B．answering the same question raised by people |
| C．running 3,300 miles cross-country |
| D．biking across the Mojave Desert |
What does the underlined part mean?
| A．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy. |
| B．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal. |
| C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter of the way |
| D．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar on Day 20. |
What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
| A．Imagination was an effective way to help me get through. |
| B．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot. |
| C．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination |
| D．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness |
Which can be the best title of the passage?
| A．The day I stopped being lonely |
| B．The only challenge for a 22-year old |
| C．How to overcome loneliness at sea. |
| D．How to row alone across the Atlantic |
It was very late when I __38__. With just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went stright into the room, without having dinner. __39__, when I jumped into my bed , all I heard and felt was broken sounds and __40__ liquid. I opened my blanket, and there _41__ the source of the “problem”—a broken bowl with noodels and a mess on the bed.
I was so _42_ that I rushed into Loe’s room and gave him a good spanking. He __43__ cried but didn’t ask for mercy, except a short explanation.
“Dad, I was _44__, but you were not back yet, so I wanted to cook some noodles.But I remembered that you __45_ me not to touch or use the kitchen without any __46__ around; therefore, I __47__ the shower and used the hot water to cook the noodles.However, I was __48__ that the noodles would turn cold, so I put it under the__49__ to keep it warm __50__ you return. But I forgot to remind you.”
I went towards my son to give him a(n) __51__ hug and asked him to sleep. Then I began to _52__ the mess on the bed. When everthing was done, I passed my son’s room, and saw that he was still __53__ while looking at his mother’s photo.He cried not for the __54__ on his little body. After this _55__, I have tried to give him both the love of dad and mum.

I felt worried about my absent-mindedness, so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. “I have seen many people like you. It’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you’re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble.”
“Many famous people were absent-minded,” the doctor told me. “Thomas Edison(爱迪生)was standing in line(排队) one day to pay his taxes(税). When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was.”
I felt much better and got up to leave. “Thank you, doctor,” I said. “How much do I have to pay you?”
“Ten dollars for the check-up(检查),” the doctor said.
“But doctor, I did not have a check-up!”
For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, “Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!”
