20.Phil White has just returned from an 18,OOO-mile,around-the-world bicycle trip.White had two reasons for making this epic journey.First of all,he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity,which he did.He raised~70,000for the British charity,Oxfam.White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world.He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square,in London,on 19th June 2004and was back 299days later.He spent more than l,300hours in the saddle(车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains.He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe,the Middle East,India,Asia,Australia,New Zealand and the Americas.Amazingly,he did all of this with absolutely no support team.No jeep carrying food,water and medicine.No doctor.Nothing!Just a bike and a very,very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times.He also had to fight his way across deserts,through jungles and over mountains.He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up t0 45degrees,all to help people in need.There were other dangers along the road.In Iran,he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had.The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia.For l,000kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him.This part of the trip was slow,hard work and depressing,but he made it in the end.Now Mr.White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

解答 答案:BBCD
65.B 细节理解题 本题的题干是:当Phil White从旅程中返回来的时候,他做了什么?根据第一段"Phil White has just returned from…he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity,which he did.He raised~70,000for the British charity,Oxfam."可知,Phil White刚刚从环球骑自行车18,OOO公里的旅程中返回,…他想利用这次旅行为慈善机构筹集资金,这一点他做到了;他为英国的慈善机构乐施会筹集了70000元的善款;故选B
66.B 主旨大意题 通读全文并根据第三段可知,Phil White的这次自行车之旅是在没有任何人帮助以及历尽艰险的情况下完成的,因此第一段中epic(史诗般的)表达的意思与B相同:既长又艰难;故选B
67.C 细节理解题 根据第三段"The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia.For l,000kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him."可知:在旅途中,他经历的最糟糕的事情就是在穿过澳大利亚南部的时候,骑自行车逆风行驶了1,000公里;另外,本段中"In Iran,he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had."只是讲述了他在伊朗被武装抢劫者追赶并侥幸逃跑的经历,这里并没有描述他英勇地抗击强盗的过程;所以A.不正确;故选C
68.D 主旨大意题 通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了Phil White为了给英国的慈善机构乐施会筹集善款,以及为了破世界纪录,成为全世界骑自行车最快的人,他经历了299天,1300多个小时骑自行车完成了18,OOO英里的行程.在没有任何人以及物资的帮助下,独自一人历经各种艰险,最终完成旅程.由此可知:他做事非常的坚持不懈,并且有决心;故选D
