Unit 3 A taste of English humour
第二部分: 阅读理解 (共两节,满分 40 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项( A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
I learnt to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became
extremely interested in the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of
climbing the worlds highest mountain, I dreamed about flying non-stop around the
world.
I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before I and my team
managed to succeed. For some reason, we had to go first to North Africa to catch the
right winds. That added 10,000 kilometres, and another week, to our journey. But
because of this, our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.
The most memorable part of the trip for me is that we lived in the air for 20 days
and that the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the
balloons capsule (舱), in which we were transported, three times while in the air to
repair the fuel (燃料) system. We didnt have any safety equipment but when you are
in a situation like that, you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling
afraid.
Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember that when I got out of the capsule, I
looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong, who
was so happy to put his footprint on the moon, so far away from Earth. At that
moment, I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!
