Erden Eruc has rowed across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California in November last year. He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.

Crossing the Pacific is only part of journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest top on six of the continents along the way.

For the first part of his trip, he rode 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley’s top. Now in the second part of his adventure, he is rowing to Australia.

Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to realize their dreams and to get their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes they might not even get that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way.

Eruc has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south towards the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change, he will cheerfully change his plan, and aim to land at Papua New Guinea. In one way or another, he’s sure he’ll get to his next goal: Australia.

When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people – especially children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story. Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress, and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don’t get some goals. That’s called life!”

科目：初中英語 來源：山東省威海市2018年中考英語試卷 題型：閱讀判斷

閱讀C篇，判斷正(A)誤(B)。請將答案編號涂卡。A表示正確，B表示錯誤。

Bangladesh (孟加拉)is an agricultural country between India and Burma. Storms from the

Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year, and large areas of farming land are flooded(沖毀). The people are very poor.

Fewer than half of the country’s children complete their primary education. When they are six or seven years old, many children leave school to work in the fields or at home. The rest of their "education" consists of looking after cattle, collecting firewood or doing household jobs.

Not long ago, an experimental school was opened near the capital, Dacca, to help poor children. There are only 120 children in the school, which has three classrooms. In each class, forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten. Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join.

The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching. They act as group monitors. Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practice what the teacher has taught.

There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school. Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older. Each group is promoted (升級)only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard. As a result, all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils. Nobody is left behind.

Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming, carpentry, health and running a home, as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. At school, pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older.

If pupils have to look after cattle or young children, they are allowed to bring them to school. If a child has to stay at home to help his parents, there is no scolding or punishment (責罰) at school. Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run. It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate (模仿) its methods. Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method.

1.Many people in Bangladesh work on farms

2.Most children in Bangladesh complete their primary education

3.In each group, the biggest or oldest pupil is made a monitor.

4.At the end of each school year, all the pupils move to a higher class

5.At school, pupils learn to do almost all the tasks needed in adult life

1.A 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.A 【解析】短文大意：孟加拉是印度和緬甸之間的農(nóng)業(yè)國。每年的風暴會使大片農(nóng)田被洪水淹沒。因此人民很窮。只有不到一半的兒童會完成小學教育。在學校里實行小組化教學，那些有能力的學生可以擔當班長，負責他們小組內的所有學生都能理解和實踐老師所教的內容。在學校里他們會學到成人生活所需要的幾乎所有的能力。 1.根據(jù)短文的第一段Bangla...
