Gordon Williams's hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted, to make it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers(航空母舰). This will be more challenging ,as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience(耐心) and a steady hand.

解析
【分析】
第1题需定位原文中人们对Gordon爱好的初始看法，匹配对应选项；第2题要结合原文描述的制作步骤，判断最后一步的图示；第3题需找到原文关于新计划挑战原因的表述，匹配选项。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：原文第一句明确提到“Gordon Williams's hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time.”，“strange”意为“不寻常的”，对应选项C（Unusual），故选C。
2. 图示理解题：根据原文第三段“Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts(桅杆).”，制作最后一步是将船的桅杆升起，完成状态为船在瓶内且带有桅杆，对应选项B的图示，故选B。
3. 细节理解题：原文最后一段指出“His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle.”，说明挑战在于要在瓶内建造更大的模型船，对应选项D，故选D。
