短文理解1Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring themup. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.She says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey."Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. "One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time."By the end of October last year, she had raised more than #50,000 for charity.She says, "Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member."26. What does the word "extraordinary" mean in the title?A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme27.

The last paragraph suggests that_________A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancerB. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so she needn't do anything before the journeyC. she should be kind to other team members during the tripD. she should not forget dancing during the trip短文理解2In the last 500 years, nothing about people - not their clothes, ideas, or languages - has changed aEmuch as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by SouthAmerican Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's. And although iiwas very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were serve(became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starve when the crop failed during the" Potato Famine" of 1845 -6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate t America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.

It was first madeinto a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that higoats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake'feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.36.
