The oldest woman peting was 77, taking part in the twomile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every onemile race.”可知，參賽者包括天然水域游泳的愛好者，也包括初學者，也有很多人完成自己的挑戰(zhàn)，這里面就有77歲參加2英里游泳的老人，也有去年參加一英里的男子，故可知，該比賽參與者范圍很廣，故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried.

You39。re so brave! Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be brave, whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable?You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway. I have never been afraid of travelling alone. The first time I travelled alone was when I was 19. I was due to travel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer. She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna. It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself. It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it. When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself. I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard at all. That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary. The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way. I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.（1）What makes the author puzzled when she tells people of her experience?

It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.”在我們動身的前兩天，她寫信通知我，她將在維也納中途離開我。那時再找一個朋友已經(jīng)太晚了，所以我要么從維也納回家，要么一個人繼續(xù)走。我繼續(xù)。我自己上了火車，自己住旅館，自己找路?？芍?，關(guān)于她第一次獨自旅行，作者說她不得不選擇自己去，故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.”那是30年前的事了，從那時起，我周游世界，通常是獨自一人。我仍然做我當時做的事，那就是記日記。由此可知，文“The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way.”的意思是獨自旅行最棒的禮物就是一路上遇到的人。 solo travel 的意思是獨自旅行，故選C。 （4）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.”我可能每次都是獨自出發(fā)，但我遇到了很多對我很重要的人。我在尼泊爾加德滿都遇見了我的丈夫。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結(jié)識了一生的朋友?？芍髡邚乃穆眯兄械玫降暮锰幨且宦飞纤龅搅撕芏嗳?，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 I waited half an hour, set the board, and sat in the studio, reviewing my questions until the telephone lines flashed. Hello? This is Connie Chung. I39。m so sorry I39。m late. Connie Chung was one of the only four women anchors（主播）to make it into the club of major evening network television news. For almost an hour we talked about the industry. When I asked if she ever had an instructor throughout her trials, she turned around and offered to instruct me. When I asked why she decided to do it, she simply replied, Because you39。re good. That afternoon I ru
