通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后 在各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

Five years ago, when it was time for my cousin to start college, my 75-year-old grandfather,

Rex, decided to do the same. He went to

31

, taking classes twice a week until his death last

summer.

As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office

32

and completing

assignments. Although he was twice as

33

as his professors, he loved going. He said,

“

You can never

34

too much, no matter how old you are.

”

He loved everything about

school. Learning new things was truly his passion.

My grandfather

’

s will to learn was a great

35

for me to do my best in school. We

were always

36

with each other, trying to bring home the better grade.

When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on

the

37

. He felt like he could beat the unstoppable no matter what came in his way-

whether it was his continuing with cancer

38

a tough professor.

Some

people

look

to

Superman

or

Batman

as

their

39

,

but

my

grandfather

will

forever be my hero, the

40

who always came to my rescue. My grandfather was made

the hall of fame(

名人堂

) as his high school as one of the school

’

s most successful football players.

When I did some research I

41

that his nickname was Atlas. In Greek mythology(

神话

),

Atlas held the heavens on his shoulders. For my grandfather

’

s football team, he was

42

Atlas,

holding

the

team

together.

He

was

my

Atlas

too,

as

the

foundation

of

our

family.

In

my

times

of

need

he

was

always

there

to

43

me

and

celebrate

my

accomplishments. I could count on him to help me out and stand by me. The strength he

44

with me will continue to hold me up as I forever keep his memory

45

in my heart and

mind.

A

There are many islands in the South Pacific Ocean and no one knows how the people who

live on these islands came to be there. They are very much like people who once lived in Peru on

the west coast of South America.

There is a legend that, when their country was attacked and

conquered, these people left Peru on rafts and set off across the sea to the west. The legend was

that they were taken across the sea by one of their ancestors, Tike, son of the sun.

A Norwegian, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they may have reached the South Pacific islands.

He noticed that they would have been taken in that direction by strong winds and currents, even

though

they

had

only

simple

rafts

made

of

very

light

wood

called

balsa-wood.

His

idea

was

laughed at but he decided to prove it. With five other brave men, he built a raft just like the one

Tike would have used, and they set out to repeat the great voyage across 4,000 miles of open sea,

which they believed Tike

’

s people once made.

Heyerdahl

’

s raft was made of nine balsa- wood logs tied together with ropes. The longest log

was 45 feet long. No nails were used, for nails would not have been used by Tiki

’

s men, and the

raft was called

“

Kon- Tiki

”

. They took on board such food as fruit and dried food and coconuts, but

they expected to live mainly on fish. They took a parrot as a pet. When all was ready, the raft with
