DAILY NEWS 2nd February 2025 World News/Outdoors
On Saturday, February 1, Zara Lachlan, a 21-year-old girl from the UK, became the first woman and the youngest person to row across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋) by herself without any support.
The trip was a very difficult task. Ms Lachlan wasn't just new to ocean rowing. She was also new to the ocean. So she knew little about it. What's more, she had to clean the bottom(底部) of her boat from time to time—something she didn't enjoy at first, as she doesn't swim well.
However, Ms Lachlan was determined. Her goal was clear—to row alone across the Atlantic. During her trip, Ms Lachlan faced much trouble. Bad weather turned her boat over. After 40 days, her phone couldn't work. She hurt her arm, cut her leg, and broke a finger. At one point, she was almost hit by a huge ship.
But for Ms Lachlan, the trip was also a chance to see nature in a way that most people could never experience. She said the sunrises and night skies were fantastic and the trip gave her many memories that "will stay with me for life".
After 97 days, Ms Lachlan arrived in South America. She almost broke the record, only missing it by 19 hours. But she's still very proud of herself. "I finished a difficult task," she said. She hoped to help other women and girls be brave. "If I can do what I'm afraid of, then they can try difficult things too," she said.

Adventures take place not only in the real world, but also in the fantasy world. The following is one of them.
Nils hung on to Morten's neck as the tired goose(鹅) landed on a small rocky land. The other geese around were angry because they found a human among them. "Go away!" cried a young goose. "People always hurt us!"
Akka, the elder leader(首领), stopped them with a raised wing. "Remember how he saved us from that fox(狐狸) twice today?" She looked at Nils, who looked very cold in his wet clothes. "Why did you save us, boy?"
"I... I was a bad boy," Nils said in a low voice, thinking of his past unkind acts.
At this, Akka's face became soft. "Then hear this, all flock! Now he is not bad Nils, but Little Thumb—our friend!" The geese made loud sounds—some happy, some still worried—till Akka waved her wings. "Our rule: If someone saves us, he or she will become our family!"
One by one, the geese touched Nils' arm with their wings, making him feel surprisingly warm. The smallest goose even gave him a green plant—their symbol of shared meals.
Morning came with their first difficult task: crossing the open sea. "Stay low!" Akka said in the strong wind. Nils now travelled with his goose friend Morten, learned how birds move in such strong wind. When huge waves made them wet, he didn't cry but laughed like the young geese—making Akka smile proudly.
That evening, as the geese cleaned themselves, Nils noticed some unusual sounds in the woods. Without thinking, he made a perfect alarm-cry(警报叫声)—a sound he learned just by listening. The geese took wing right away, running away from the fox.
"You see?" Akka told the worried geese. "He has good hearing, and he learns well!" She let Nils stay under her wing like a baby goose. Above them, the Northern Lights danced—nature's celebration of their new friendship(友谊).

答案
【语篇导读】本文选自《尼尔斯骑鹅旅行记》,
讲述了顽劣男孩尼尔斯因搭救鹅群而获得鹅群
的接纳,随后与他们一起穿越开阔的海域,
携手应对危险,最终收获深厚友谊的故事。
4. C 提示:细节理解题。根据第六段第一句
"Morning came with their first difficult task: crossing
the open sea."和第三句中"Nils now travelled with
his goose friend Morten"可知,尼尔斯与鹅群一起穿
越开阔的海域,故C项正确。文章第一段提到起
初鹅群对尼尔斯有敌意,故A项错误;根据第二段
第二句"Remember how he saved us from that fox
twice today?"可知,文中提到尼尔斯救鹅免受狐
狸,而不是狗,的伤害,故B项错误;根据倒数第二
段第二句中"he made a perfect alarm-cry"可知,他
发出警报声而不是保持安静,故D项错误。
5. B 提示:细节理解题。a图对应第一段第一句
"Nils hung on to Morten's neck as the tired goose
landed on a small rocky land.";b图对应倒数第二
段最后两句"Without thinking, he made a perfect
alarm-cry—a sound he learned just by listening. The
geese took wing right away, running away from the

their first difficult task: crossing the open sea.";d图
对应第五段中"One by one, the geese touched Nils'
arm with their wings, making him feel surprisingly
warm. The smallest goose even gave him a green
plant"。所以正确顺序是a-d-c-b。

一段中"Go away!"(走开!)和"People always hurt
us!"(人类总是伤害我们!)、第四段中"Then hear
this, all flock! Now he is not bad Nils, but Little
Thumb—our friend!"(全体鹅群听好了!现在他不
再是坏孩子尼尔斯,而是小拇指——我们的朋
友!)和"Our rule: If someone saves us, he or she will
become our family!"(我们的规矩:如果有人救了我
们,他/她就是我们的一员!),由此不难推知,作者
多次使用感叹号是为了表达人物强烈的情感。
7. D 提示:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章讲述
了尼尔斯两次从狐狸手中救下鹅群,从而被鹅群
接纳,随后与鹅群一起穿越开阔的海域,携手应对
危险,最后建立特殊友谊的故事,D项"一个男孩
和一些鹅之间特殊友谊的开始"符合文章主旨。
