C单元阅读理解C1 人物传记类C1·卷 (A) Phil White has just returned from an 18,000mile, aroundtheworld bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised 70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not. White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road. The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.65. When Phil White returned from his trip, he _.

Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Molly's legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Molly's life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染病菌的). At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live. Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it! After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kate Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!16Molly is the name of a_.A.dog BhorseC.parent Dchild17Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.Molly can speak to people in kind words.B.Kate Harris took Molly to a children's hospital after the attack.C.In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly's life.D.Molly sometimes leaves smiling marks on people's faces.18What is unique about Molly?A.Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe shaped like a smiling face.B.Molly ran a race and won the first prize.lly often visits places such as schools and parks.D.Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.19Which is the best title for the passage?AA Book on MollyBA False LegCA successful OperationDLeaving Her Mark【要点综述】文章介绍了一匹名叫Molly的小型马在很小的时候不幸受伤,依靠安装假肢顽强生活下去的故事。这给了那些在逆境中的人们以极大的精神鼓舞,引导人们在逆境中保持乐观,看到希望。16B细节理解题。由文章第三段“This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight及倒数第三段的“Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg.可以看出:医生在Molly腿的底部安装了一个特殊的马蹄铁,所以推出Molly是一匹马。17C细节理解题。由第三段的“At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep可以看出:起初,医生认为Molly会毫无疑问地被以人道的方法结束生命。由此可以看出:C项“In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly's life.正确。注意选项所说的“end Molly's life对应原文的“Molly would have to be put to sleep。18A细节理解题。由文章第一段的最后一句话知Molly装有一个镶有笑脸形状马蹄铁的假肢,这是因伤致残的Molly和它的同类相比特有的东西。应选A。19D标题归纳题。 纵观全文可以看出,文章开篇点题,也就是说,第一句话“Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark就是文章的主题句。下文对此进行了进一步的阐述: Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. 然后详细解释了这个假肢的由来,故D项最能概括全文。其他各项都是文章的细节,不能概括全文。C2·卷 BThree Boys and a DadBrad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.
