Liam Garner was 17 years old when he
stood at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, pointed his
bike south and started cycling. On January
10, 2023, 527 days later, he arrived in
Ushuaia—the world's southernmost city—in
Argentina. He cycled 32,000 km through 14
countries, becoming the youngest person
ever to do so.
After finishing high school, Garner
didn't want to go to college right away and
he wanted to learn more about the world.
Then, someone advised him to read the
book To Shake The Sleeping Self. It tells
the story of a man who biked from Oregon
to Patagonia. After reading it, Garner kept
thinking to himself, "★" So, he decided to
give it a try.
Garner camped from Alaska all the way
to Central America. After that, he stayed in
hostels and strangers' homes as he cycled
through South America. He advised
everyone to see the world if possible.
Although he experienced lots of
difficulties along the way, he believed that
nothing was more important than hope. So
what's next for Garner? Well, he's not
going to fly home. He plans to send his bike
home and walk back from Argentina.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇人物故事类阅读理解，解题时首先通读全文，梳理主人公Liam Garner从阿拉斯加骑行到乌斯怀亚的完整经历脉络。针对不同题型采用对应思路：第13题是语句还原题，需要结合空格前后的因果逻辑，找到衔接“看完他人骑行故事”和“决定自己尝试”的过渡句；第14题是事件排序题，回到原文逐一定位每个事件的出现位置，梳理先后顺序即可；第15题是细节正误判断题，将每个选项的表述和原文对应内容逐一比对，排除和原文不符的干扰项；第16题是直接细节题，定位文章末尾的返程相关描述就能直接得出答案。
【解析】
13. 空格前提到Garner读完了讲述一名男子从俄勒冈骑行到巴塔哥尼亚的书，空格后说明他决定亲自尝试这项骑行挑战，能衔接前后逻辑的只有D项“如果那个人能做到，我为什么不能？”。A项表质疑、B项仅评价书籍有趣、C项强调骑行危险，都无法引出后文他决定尝试的行为，因此选D。
14. 从原文梳理事件先后：①Garner高中毕业（第二段开头）→③Garner阅读《To Shake The Sleeping Self》（第二段他人推荐他读书的内容）→④Garner从阿拉斯加一路露营到中美洲（第三段首句）→②Garner骑行穿过南美洲（第三段中美洲之后的行程），正确顺序为①③④②，对应B选项。
15. 细节逐一核对：A选项，原文提到全程耗时527天，远超过1年，表述错误；B选项，原文说明Garner仅在阿拉斯加到中美洲路段露营，南美路段住旅社和陌生人家里，并非全程露营，表述错误；C选项，原文提到他建议所有人尽可能去看看世界，并非劝阻他人不要做同样的事，表述错误；D选项，原文提到尽管他一路上经历了很多困难，但他认为没有什么比希望更重要，能体现他认为这段经历十分有意义，表述正确，因此选D。
16. 原文最后一段明确说明他不坐飞机回家，打算把自行车寄回家，自己从阿根廷走回去，也就是步行返程，因此选C。
【答案】
