Do you ever dream about going on an adventure? Let’s take a look at some of the 21st century’s greatest
adventurers.
Amazon adventurer
Ed Stafford from the UK is the first person to walk along the Amazon River from the mountains of Peru to the
mouth of the river in Brazil. His amazing journey took two years and four months. There are many dangerous
animals in the rainforest, like poisonous snakes. But Ed was lucky; he was only bitten by ants and mosquitoes. On
his trip, Ed had to find fruit and nuts or catch fish each morning. But sometimes food was hard to find.
Technology was very important for Ed. He used a radio to ask the people of the rainforest for food and help.
Many people came to meet him and guide him through the rainforest. While he walked, Ed wrote a blog to tell the
world about climate change and destruction of the rainforest.
A mountain climber
Did you know that more than 4,000 people have climbed Mount Everest? Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is one of the
world’s greatest climbers and has climbed all the world’s mountains over 8,000 metres. It’s very difficult to climb
in cold weather and storms, but Gerlinde loves it. She started climbing as a teenager in the mountains near her
home. When she left school she became a nurse but always went climbing in her free time. Now she spends her
time climbing and helping a charity for poor children.

highest mountains in the world, ridden a bike across Canada and run races in the desert. But her most incredible

I was a truck driver and I made a living by transporting wood. Last week, as I was having breakfast at a café I
noticed a homeless man sitting on the ground with his dog. He was holding a sign asking for money or food. I
observed him the entire time when I ate my breakfast. He just sat there holding the sign while people drove past
ignoring them. When I was leaving, I handed him a bag of breakfast and a small bag of dog food.
He was very grateful to me and said that it had been so long since somebody had treated him like a human
being. I asked him if he would be willing to work for a day's pay and he immediately stood up and said that he
could be the hardest worker I had ever seen. I could hear the excitement and surprise in his voice. I told him to meet
me at that spot the next morning and I would take him to work.
The next day I appeared as I had promised and found that he was waiting for me there. I took him and his dog
to the Job site. He wasn't kidding about being a hard worker; this man carried wood around and fetched tools out of
my truck for me all day without complaining Once.
During the day I learned how he had lost his wife in a car accident. had his home taken back by the bank，and
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（四）
had possessions（财产）stolen，had been laughed at by strangers while begging for money and had all but given up
hope.
That night, I paid him US$80. The look on his face was well worth it, My little act of kindness seemed to put a
light back in his eyes. I continued to pick him up the rest of the week in the same spot and paid him at the end of
each day as I believed that “God helps those who help themselves.”

C 篇
An Australian family said they have finally solved the 60-year-old secret of a message in a bottle. Kent
Howlett of Brisbane (an Australian city) said his father, Jack, found the bottle containing a handwritten note on a
beach 60 years ago. Kent said his father tried to find the author of the note, which came with a menu from the 1935
voyage of a famous ship from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand.
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（四）
He said the bottle was dropped during the voyage and included an address for the note’s author, Billy Hare.
Kent said the bottle’s contents ended up being forgotten in a drawer when his father discovered the family no
longer living at the listed address and he was unable to find them. Kent used the power of social media to help find
the family and gave an interview that led to his being contacted by Lindy Hare, daughter of William “Billy” Hare.
“We have found the family in the message and I have spoken to Billy’s daughter today,” Kent wrote on
Facebook. “We are arranging to meet soon. It’s very cool, and I am so pleased we’ve been successful in finishing a
story that started so long ago.”
Lindy Hare said her father died in 2013, but she still has some family photos from the trip to New Zealand
where he wrote his bottled message.
Lindy said, “It was lovely to have something from him. He would have been so excited.” She added that the
message in a bottle was just the start of her father’s remarkable life — he became Australia’s first radiology (放射
学) professor.
“I’ll leave it to her whether she wishes to keep them herself or, if not, perhaps in a museum,” Kent said. “It
certainly would be unfortunate to see it in the back of a drawer for another 50 years.”
8. What did Kent Howlett’s family try to do?
A. Find a bottle that Kent’s father dropped many years ago.
B. Find a beach that Kent’s father once visited.
C. Find the menu from a voyage from Sydney to Auckland.
D. Find the author of the note in a bottle they found.
9. What happened to the bottle?
A. It was once thrown away by mistake by Kent’s father.
B. It had been forgotten in a drawer for many years.
C. The address in it was once gone.
D. Billy Hare asked Jack to give it to his daughter, Lindy.
10. What can we learn about Lindy Hare’s father from the text?
A. He passed away five years ago.
B. He was the first radiology professor in history.
C. He had been trying to find the bottle for many years.
D. He was very excited to see the bottle back.

D 篇
Is it better to be a big frog in a small pond or a small frog in a big pond? When high school students and
college graduates make this type of decision every year, their choices may depend partly on their culture, according
to a recent study.
In the study, both Chinese and American participants were given a choice of a university or company: would
they prefer a place at a top 10 school or company, at which they would perform below average, or at a top 100
where they would perform above average? Chinese participants were twice as likely as Americans to choose to be a
“small frog” in the “big pond” that top places represented. In the study, 58 percent of the Chinese participants
preferred a top 10 college, compared to 29 percent of Americans.
Concern for one’s own prestige (声望) helped to explain the cultural difference: Chinese participants reported
more of this concern in a survey than the Americans did, on average. Research suggests that America leans toward
being a “dignity (尊严) culture”, in which individuals tend to seek natural value. But East Asian countries have
more of a “face culture”, in which people tend to get a feeling of value by getting the respect of others, explains
Kaidi Wu from the University of Michigan. A cultural emphasis on outer respect might make the top school or
company even more appealing.
When thinking over more or less prestigious places to choose, it’s important to also consider how you’ll
perform at different levels of competition, Wu advises. “While it’s not good for you to go to the small pond and
give up on the Ivy League college (the top eight universities in the US),” she says, “there are a lot of ways to
succeed, and you don’t need to be in the big pond to do so.”
12. What can we learn from the study?
A. Students from around the world were chosen to participate.
B. Chinese participants performed better than the American ones.
C. Chinese participants were much more likely to choose a top 10 school.
D. American students preferred to choose the top 10 institutions.
13. What is the most important point in “face culture”?
A. Realizing one’s personal dream.
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（四）
B. Making a lot of money.
C. Winning others’ respect.
D. Creating one’s own value.
14. Students made different choices mainly because of __________.
A. their performance at school.
B. their cultural difference
C. their concern about personal value
D. their determination to succeed
15. As to success, Ms. Wu reminds us that ____.
A. people are likely to succeed if they enter a famous school
B. people might gain success even if they drop out of school
C. people should choose a small pond when given the choice.
D. people should consider their ability to compete when choosing schools

How to choose a college that is right for you is a common problem that many high school graduates have to

help you very much in the long run.___18___
The size of a college does not really matter in your search.
College is a time to explore, and a smaller community is more helpful for internal exploration. ___19___
It is not the number of people, but the people themselves and the kind of community in which you will learn that
really matter.

___20___ You need to determine what your interests are. Most college students change their minds two or
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（四）
