问题
A forty-year-old father of two, Steve Vaught took the final steps of his long journey as he crossed the George Washington Bridge into Manhattan. [3]It took him a year and a month to walk the nearly four thousand eight hundred kilometers from his home in California.
[4]His original aim had been to lose weight after falling into a depression and developing an eating disorder. He did arrive a hundred pounds or forty-five kilograms lighter but said he learned that weight loss was more about the state of mind than body. He now realized the secret to becoming thinner was being happier. His voyage of self-discovery was viewed by millions around the world on his website "A Fat Man Walking" and he now plans to publish a book about his experiences. But before disappearing into a hotel, he told reporters his first plan was to put on some new socks.
3. How long was Steve Vaught’s journey?
4. What was Steve Vaught’s purpose of his long journey at first?
选项
A、Touring for scenery.
B、Losing weight.
C、Publishing a book.
D、Building a website.
答案
B
解析
新闻中提到,他原本的目的只是想在情绪抑郁和饮食紊乱之后减肥,故应选B。注意问题中的purpose…at first是新闻中original aim的同义改写。A“旅行观光”未在新闻中提到。C“出书”和D“建立网站”是Steve Vaught准备要做,或已经做了的事,但并不是他的旅行初衷。
