22、largefavela和somevolleyballmatchesonthebeach可知B项正确。2答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据Day2中的“Youwilllearnalotaboutthehistoryofthiscity, whichwillhelpyouunderstandthecitybetter.”可知A项正确。3答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据Day6中的“Anyonewhosnotinterestedinridingmaygobycar.”可知B项正确。4答案与解析：C写作意图题。综合全文内容特别是文章第一段“This6dayadventuroustripwillintrodu
23、ceyoutotherich, livingtraditionsofBrazil.DuringyourdaysyouwillgetintomanyfieldsofBrazilianlife.”可知本文旨在介绍为期六天的巴西之旅。B【语篇解读】作者邀请爸爸旅行，让爸爸体会到了旅行带来的快乐，同时作者也找到了人生的方向，确定目标，安顿下来。5答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第三段可知，作者的父亲认为作者没有目标，33年来一事无成，希望他安顿下来，由此可以推出，父亲很不满意作者的生活方式。6答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据“Nodirections, nogoalsIalwaysusedtohearth
24、osewordsinmyfathersvoice.NowIheartheminmyown.”可知作者意识到了自己不能再这样没有方向没有目标地生活了，故选A。7答案与解析：A推理判断题。从文章最后我们了解到，不爱旅行的父亲爱上了旅行，生活没有目标的儿子，安顿下来了，从这里我们可以看出他们彼此都改变了生活态度。故A正确。.完形填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在88岁时仍然勇于挑战极限运动机翼行走。而且她还呼吁更多的老年人不要服老，要勇于挑战自我。1答案与解析：B结合后文“myownrecordastheworldsoldestfemalewingwalker”可知这里是说作者88岁时“打破(
25、break)”了自己的纪录。breakonesrecord打破某人的纪录。2答案与解析：B根据“He_doinghalfaloop(翻筋斗)godownabit，andthenstraightup.”可知，此处指作者在跟“飞行员(pilot)”说话。3答案与解析：D结合后文“doinghalfaloop(翻筋斗)godownabit, andthenstraightup”可知作者对飞行员提出冒险性的要求后，飞行员最终以让飞机翻了个筋斗的飞行方式“结束(endup)”。endupdoingsth.以做某事结束。4答案与解析：A根据该空后的“itwaswindy”可知，当时有风，所以飞行过程中飞机
26、稍微有点“摇晃(shaky)”。5答案与解析：B根据下一句“Ihadgloves，earplugsandlotsoflayers”可知，作者进行了一系列的防护措施，为了飞行过程中确保一切是“安全的(secure)”。6答案与解析：D根据该空后的内容“fromGloucestershireAirport”可知，飞机在机场“起飞(takeoff)”。7答案与解析：A分析句子结构可知此处为宾语从句，从句缺主语，且表示具体事物，用what引导宾语从句。8答案与解析：C根据上文的“abitmoreadventuresome”可知，作者本来就是来寻求冒险的，所以只是感觉有点奇怪而不是紧张。9答案与解析：C
27、根据下文的“dangerousactivity”可知，这是一项危险的活动，所以参加者起初一定会被“提醒，警告(warn)”。10答案与解析：B这项活动在进行之前已经基本保证了行走者的安全性，但也有潜在(potentially)危险性。11答案与解析：D结合后文“Youvegottogosometimeandyoumightaswellgoinaflameofglory.”可推知在作者看来，她已经88岁了，即使出意外，那又有什么“关系”呢？12答案与解析：C结合后文“intheirways”可知作者认为在步入老年阶段后，很多人都会“受困于”自己的生活方式。bestuckin“困于，被缠住”。13答案与解析：C作者认为周围的朋友们受困于各自的生活方式而不会“加入(join)”到作者的冒险活动中来。以及下文“IimaginemostofthemthinkIm_asawoman.”可知，大多数人会认为作者是个疯女人，所以也不会加入。14答案与解析：A结合上文可知，作者认为那些安于现状的人不仅不会加入，还会认为作者是“疯(crazy)”女人。15答案与解析：C根据第二段中的“abitmoreadventuresome”可知，作者认为自己这个年龄段的人应该去做更多“冒险的(adventurous)”事情。故选C。
