24、.D根据后文的描述可知,作者打算独自一人去旅行。3.C根据第三段中的“I met another bicyclist who was quite a bit older than I was”可知,作者是骑自行车去旅行的。4.A根据第三、四段可知,作者独自骑自行车去冒险了,故此处指父亲同意了作者的想法。5.Cin favor of 意为“支持,赞成”,符合语境。in fear of 意为“害怕”;in charge of 意为“负责,管理”;in need of 意为“需要”。6.A根据后文中的“Part of me”以及“The other part of me”可知,作者的内心还处于斗争中
25、。7.C根据前文“I had only been away from my home three days now”可知,作者离家已经三天了,因此推测作者是很想家的。homesick“想家的”,符合语境。8.C根据前后文内容可知,作者一部分怀疑自己是否能真的成功;另一部分想向自己和家人证明自己能做到。prove “证明”,用于固定结构prove to sb. that. 意为“向某人证明”。9.D根据前文中的“He had started his journey. and had just finished.”可知,作者可以断定他有一种满足感。a sense of satisfaction 意
26、为“满足感”。10.D根据语境可知,此处指作者骑自行车旅行途中遇到的另一个骑自行车的人,他鼓励作者不要放弃。11.B根据本句句意与逻辑可知,作者在用MP4听自己最喜欢的艺术家的歌。12.A根据前文可知,作者独自骑自行车去旅行,在途中只遇到另一个独自骑自行车在挪威南部旅行的人。由此可推测,周围几英里没有人。13.B根据“There was 12 around me for miles. There were mosquitoesmillions of them.”可知 ,周围几英里没有人,但有数百万只蚊子。因此,作者说“实际上这并不完全是真的”,这是一种幽默的表达。14.D根据后文“nothing could stop my advance”可知,作者有冒险精神,不管有多艰难,没有什么能阻止作者朝目标前进。15.D此处指不管有多艰难,没有什么能阻止作者朝目标前进。表示“朝,向”,用介词toward。
