    10．Meet Ben Saunders：adventurer，athlete，motivational speaker．Ben，at the age of 23，was the youngest man to ski solo （单人滑雪） to the North Pole．He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge （雪橇） over 1，420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions．This year，as well as planning a return to the Arctic，Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn，carrying all his supplies on his sledge．
    Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure．"Everything that could go wrong did go wrong．We were attacked by a bear．We started running out of food．It was just desperate．And we didn't get to the Pole； we didn't get there，so we had no media interest．No one heard about it：no book deal，and no speaking．I was so unhappy．"
    People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole．I said，"No，I can get there，"and I did．Self-belief，I see it as being a bit like a muscle-it's my belief that the more you stretch （伸展） yourself，the stronger it gets．If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker．So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way．The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief．
    "My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me．If I kne w it was possible，if I knew I could do it without too much bother，I wouldn't be interested．"Why？"Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it．Not that long ago，running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt，and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year．"
    People's horizons （见识） are changing．"I'm not particularly gifted，and I'm absolutely average．I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it．That's it．And that's the thing that attracts me：with enough training and enough determination，enough focus and preparation，how far can we go？And I don't think I've found out yet．"

    24．What do we know about Ben Saunders'first adventure？B
    A．It was supported by his company．
    B．There was no press coverage．
    C．It was well planned and organized．
    D．He actually reached the North Pole．
    25．According to Ben Saunders，if you want to stretch your self-belief，you shouldA．
    A．try something adventurous     B．often test your confidence   
    C．aim to reach the North Pole    D．always stretch your muscles
    26．Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure becauseC．
    A．he wanted to exercise his body
    B．he liked running a marathon
    C．he knew it might be achievable
    D．he was sure he could do it easily
    27．What can we learn from the last paragraph？C
    A．We may never know our possibilities and energies．
    B．We have to change our views about adventure．
    C．We should have a reason for going on an adventure．
    D．We have to be especially talented to have an adventure．

    分析 本文是记叙文．文章主要介绍了极地探险家Ben Saunders．

    解答 24．B．细节理解题．由第二段中的we didn't get there，so we had no media interest可知，在Ben Saunders的第一次北极探险中，由于他们没有到达北极，所以没有引起媒体的关注．
    25．A．推理判断题．由第三段中的If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker可知，Ben Saunders认为如果你从不做任何不舒服或有风险的事情，那么你的自我信念就会变弱，因此，如果想增强自我信念，就需要尝试一些有挑战的事情．
    26．C．细节理解题．由倒数第二段中的My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me可知，令Ben Saunders感到兴奋的是他的南极探险是可行的、可以实现的．
    27．C．推理判断题．由最后一段中的with enough training and enough determination，enough focus and preparation，how far can we go？And I don't think I've found out yet可知，我们永远不会知道我们能走多远，我们不会知道我们的潜能和力量．

    点评 做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

    5．While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning，he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise．All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown．What if Mr．Larchmont refused to grant his request？Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency．Of course，he deserved a wage increase．
    The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees．Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior．To his delight and surprise，the ever-frugal（一向节俭的）Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
    Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china，and candles lit．His wife，Tina，had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes．Immediately he figured someone from the office had tippedher off!
    Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note．It was from his wife．It read："Congratulations，my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you．I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was．
    After dinner，Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor．He bent forward to pick it up．It read："Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase．"
    Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes．Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work．
    The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure．

    21．What was Andrew's plan that Friday？D
    A．To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency．
    B．To celebrate his success with his wife at home．
    C．To ask his boss to come for dinner．
    D．To request a wage increase from his boss．
    22．On his way back home，AndrewA．
    A．was too anxious to share the news               B．felt weak in the knees
    C．was punished by the traffic policeman            D．couldn't wait to enjoy a meal
    23．Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE？B
    A．Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster．
    B．One of Andrew's colleagues had told his wife the good news．
    C．Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company．
    D．Andrew's boss agreed to his request．
    24．We can conclude from the text thatC．
    A．we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us
    B．work hard and you will be rewarded
    C．unconditional love brings courage and strength
    D．many fears turn out to be unfounded．

    15．A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport．
    According to the results of an international passenger survey，Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch，compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits．
    The Airline Passenger Experience Association（APEX） spoke to around 1，500 people，aged 18 and older，who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States，United Kingdom，Germany，Japan，China，Singapore，Australia and Brazil．
    The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off．They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming．Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively-when not drinking-choosing to work while flying at 35，000 feet．
    Meanwhile，Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers-spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality．Comparatively，Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email，messaging apps or social media．
    Despite plane food having a bad reputation，seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals．In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers．
    The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment．"The industry has greatly improved the comfort，entertainment and on board service，and passengers are accepting those improvements"said Russell Lemieux，APEX executive director．"At the same time，passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey．"he added．

    32．What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage？C
    A．Brazilians choose to drink．
    B．Americans do in-flight shopping．
    C．Germans chat to kill the time．
    D．The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign．
    33．When on board the plane，B．
    A．passengers from one nation have little in common
    B．most passengers like to read in-flight magazines
    C．more than half of the passengers don't enjoy plane food
    D．most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep．
    34．What can we learn from the last paragraph？C
    A．Flyers care little about entertainment．
    B．Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements．
    C．Flyers are expecting better flight experiences．
    D．Flyers have more and more demands from airlines．
    35．What's the purpose of the passage？D
    A．To entertain readers with interesting stories．
    B．To encourage people to behave well in public．
    C．To criticize impolite behaviors on the plane．
    D．To inform readers of the results of a survey．

    1．Here are five things you can do to prepare to pass the TOEFL reading section：
    Read textbooks．Academic textbooks that contain study and summary questions at the end of each chapter are an ideal practice tool for the TOEFL reading section．（36）C If possible，have someone who is fluent in English look over your work to check for accuracy．
    （37）A Paraphrasing （改述） is a way of summarizing what you have read while maintaining the key points and information．Read magazines，books，textbooks，newspapers，or even blogs that are written in English，and then paraphrase what you have read in your own words．
    Practice pronouns．Pronouns can cause a great deal of confusion when trying to determine who did what to whom，even for native English speakers．（38）G And it will also increase your confidence．
    Purchase an English-language dictionary and a thesaurus （分类词典）．（39）E Once you understand the definition of the word，looking that word up in a thesaurus to find other similar words will increase your vocabulary even more．
    Use online practice tests and testing tips．Visit the TOEFL website at www．ets．org/toefl to download a useful test guide for the TOEFL，or to find practice reading tests．
    Practicing for the TOEFL reading section will increase your vocabulary and develop your comprehension skills．（40）F

    A．Learn to paraphrase．
    B．These tools are extremely useful in language learning．
    C．Read each section and then answer the related questions．
    D．The TOEFL reading section aims to estimate your ability to read and comprehend．
    E．looking up new words in a dictionary is a great way to improve your English vocabulary．
    F．This will help you pass the test and prove valuable throughout your time studying abroad．
    G．A solid grasp on pronoun usage and plenty of practice will help you solve this problem quickly．
