Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be. So I booked a trip to find out.”可知作者心里一直有疑問，那就是我是真正的自己嗎？，所以作者預定了旅行去尋找答案，即她去冰島旅行的目的是尋找真正的自我，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need. And how strong it feels to be unfortable sometimes. ”可知作者在冰島旅行時冒雨爬山，飲食簡單，并且體驗到了種種不適，故推測作者的旅行是艱苦的，故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“with no less confusion on who I want to be. 和 The answer is in front of me with every step on my own 1ife39。s path, and in every choice I make. ”可知作者不再困惑，她知道真正自我的答案就在日常生活中，就在她所做出的每個選擇中，故推測作者旅行回來后變樂觀了。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據倒數第二段中的“I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy，and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family. ”可知作者懷疑驅使她去冰島的焦慮正在讓她失去選擇感恩和快樂的能力，也讓她看不到在家庭和事業(yè)中的挑戰(zhàn)。故推測作者以后不會逃避生活，并且能夠勇敢面對生活中暫時的困惑。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Smart Kids Festival Events Smart Kids is a collection of one hundred events scheduled in October.

If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldn39。t be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so I39。d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I39。ve got the county court judgment to prove it. However, we broadly agree that there39。s a difference between a child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runciman39。s view that sixyearolds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a sixyearold could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the vote—along with, unavoidably, sevenyearolds who are even sillier, if anything—is quite an amusing proposal. Runciman39。s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who don39。t (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after they39
