As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, “When I decided to do the roundtheworld race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole tenmonth journey.” Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn39。t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. “One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn39。t move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.”By the end of October last year, she had raised more than ￡50,000 for charity. She says, “Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it39。s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself pletely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.” 1).What does the word extraordinary mean in the title?A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme正確答案：B滿分：2得分：22).The sentence …my husband thought I was bored … in paragraph 4 meant that my husband br/br/thought I felt_________.A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB. annoyed because I had to wait so long for my children to e back homeC. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care of childrenD. sad because all the children left me when they grew up正確答案：A滿分：2得分：23).The word section in paragraph 4 most probably means here _________.A. group of peopleB. part of the trainingC. part of the sail roufeD. part of the job正確答案：C滿分：2得分：24).Which of the following is nearest (closest) in meaning to rough in the sentence One night the sea br/br/was very rough … in paragraph 5?A. not exactB. difficultC. not smooth because of huge wavesD. pleasant正確答案：C滿分：2得分：25).The last paragraph suggests that _________.A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancerB. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail trip pletely, so she needn39。t do anything before the voyageC. she should be kind to other team members during the tripD. she should not forget dancing during the trip正確答案：A滿分：2得分：22.In the UK, in business situations, when you meet someone for the first time you shake hands and say, How do you do?.
