第二部分: 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共20小题,每小题2分, 满分40分)：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
After 13 years and 46,000 miles（75,00km）, a British adventurerhas completed a round-the-
world journey using human power alone. Jason Lewis, 40, crossed five continents, two oceans and a sea to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe under his own steam（用他自己的力量）. He finally returned to the UK on Saturday, crossing the Greenwich Meridian Line（格林威治子午线）, in his custom-designed, 26 feet (8 metres), pedal-powered boat, ‘Moksha’. It was the same point where his journey began on 12 July 1994 when he was just 26 years old.
Jason used a variety of modes of transport during his journey, including cycling, swimming, kayaking, and in-line skating. His route took him west from Britain to the USA and then on to Australia, Asia, and Africa before returning to Europe from the east.
The journey was not without dangers: in Colorado Jason was run over by a drunk driver while in-line skating at the side of the road. He spent six weeks in hospital and nearly had a limb amputated（被截肢）.
As well as surviving the car accident, Jason was robbed and beaten several times on his journey, chased by a giant crocodile in Australia, and arrested by the Egyptian military as a suspected spy. But on the way he has raised money for children’s charities around the world as well as developing an education programme for schoolchildren based on his travels.
What now for the world traveller? Jason is happy to be back and may hang up his boots for a while. “I’ve seen enough deserts. I’ve missed green rolling hills and cosy pubs, sitting by the fire drinking a pint of warm beer," said Jason. “I do miss British humour. It’s nice to be with people who take the mickey out of each other.”
41. Which of the following is NOT true about Lewis’ journey?
A. His journey ended where it had started 13 years before.

A. He was run over by a drunk driver and nearly had one limb cut off.
B. He was attacked by a typhoon.
C. He was chased by a huge crocodile in Australia

43. The reason why he raised money on the way is that_______________.
A. he ran out of money on half the way
B. he wanted to help people to fight against deserts
C. he wanted to get information from Egyptian military
D. he intended to contribute to children’s education
