【答案】(I)B

(2)B

(3)A

(4)D

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者因为中风暂停了旅行，但是后来又重新拾起了对探索的热

情的故事。

(I)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"FriendsalwaysaskwhyI,amiddle-agedwomanwithnoathletic

talent,got。suchplaces.”朋友们会好奇，为什么，作者作为个中年妇女，没有体育天赋，要去那些

地方，可知，朋友们对作者的行为不理解，故选B.

(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Myreturntotravelaftermystrokecameinbabysteps以及第四

段Thefirstrealtestofmytravelcouragecameninemonthsaftermystrokewhen1joinedmyhusbandin

visitingChina.”中风之后，作者重新开始旅行都是慢慢开始的，而中风九个月之后，重新拾起对旅行

的热爱则是与丈夫一起去中国开始的，可知，作者重新旅行是逐渐的，一步一步的，故选B。

(3)考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"Sincethen,Fvedaredtotakechallengesandhavechallenged

manyplaces.”从那时开始，作者敢去接受挑战，去挑战很多地方，可知，中国一行对于作者来说就是

一个转折点，故选A。

(4)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Mostofall,saying"yes"totravelisrelatedtomyAPS.IfIlet

myselfbeafraidtotravel,thenmyAPSwillwin.”大多数时候，旅行对我来说与我的APS疾病有关，如

果我害怕旅行的话，我的疾病就会战胜我，可知，作者旅行是为了与疾病作斗争，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕

捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

【答案】E；A：D；B

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了一些人喜欢以冒险为乐趣。

(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Andourpleasureisgreaterbecausewelivea

comfortableandincreasinglyrisk-freelife,wherethegreatesttestofenduranceisgettingtoworkthrough

therushhour”我们过着一种舒适的、越来越没有风险的生活，和后面的转折可知，我们大多数人都

希望保持这种舒适的状态。故选E。

(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Yearslater,expertsdiscoveredthatLynnehasa

totallyevenlayerofbodyfat,likeaseal.”可知，琳・考克斯就像海豹一样脂肪层完全均匀，似乎天生就

适合做她所做的事情。故选A。

(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“SirFienneshassaid,nIfIamgettingsick,Ifind

averypowerfulwayofconqueringitistoknowthatmyfatherwouldhavedefinitelydoneit."费因斯爵

士曾说过：“如果我生病了，我发现一种非常强大的战胜它的方法就是知道我父亲肯定会这么做

从而可以推断出，很多冒险家都是为了不辜负父母的期望。故选D。

(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“ThereisprobablynosuchthingasaFormal'

adventurer.”可能没有所谓的“正常”冒险家，可知，冒险家显然不同于我们其他人。故选B。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
