第一篇
Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it
so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat.When she was 18,she
sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year"award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who entered
the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasted 100 days.Despite many problems,she came second
in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality.When she was younger,
she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a trans-
atlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht,slept
under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997,alone
for 33 days.
Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own cap-
tamn,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very ft,and
because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time while she's in the middle of the ocean,she has
trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage.Once,In the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to
repair the sails一at four o'clock in the morning,with 100 kph winds blowing around her.It took her many
hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:"I was exhausted when I came down.It's hard to describe how it feels
to be up there.It's like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with
someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off."
But in her diary , Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的): " A beautiful
sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of
pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here."
选项
Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years___________.
A:while she was learning how to repair sails
B:while she was trying to get financial support for a race
C:because she was interested in country life
D:because she was ambitious for the coming race
答案
B
解析
短文第二段提到,“她是进人Vendee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的两个女选手之一”,“尽 管遇到了许多困难,在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。"D选项与文章内容相符,因此,答案为D。
短文第三段第二句指出:“为了努力获得赞助去参加穿越大西洋的帆船比赛,她在一个 棚屋里住了三年。”选项B中的短语get financial support for a race与文章中的短语get sponsor-ship to compete in a transatlantic race同义。因此,B为正确答案。
solo意为“唯一的;单独的”。 single-handed“单人完成的;独自”。
仔细阅读短文第四段可以判断出选项B“她必须是自己的教师”没有在这一段出现。因此,这个选项不符合文章内容。
短文最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情,清楚地表现了Ellen快乐的心情。因此,答案为C。第二篇 短文讲的是“一间房”学校对美国人的影响。
