Sydney,5 May,2010(BBC News)—An Australian girl，called Jessica Watson，is 16 years old.She is near home after sailing around the world.But she may not realise her dream to get the record as the youngest person to make the journey.
After more than six months at sea，Jessica Watson is in the final part of her long and difficult journey around the world.She is hoping to reach Sydney Harbor later this month a couple of days before her seventeenth birthday.
But although there is no question that she has sailed non­stop without getting any help during the journey around the world，sailing experts say she has not gone far enough to reach the record of being the youngest person to sail by herself.
The influential(有很大影响的) Sail World website has praised her heroic(英雄气概的) achievement.However，it believes that rules are very important and must be followed exactly.To have made the world record—the youngest person to make a journey around the world，it says，the girl should not simply cross the equator and then return south.Instead，she should have sailed much farther north into the Atlantic to a point in line with France.
“We don't want to take away from what the kid has done，”said the
editor(编辑) of the website.“But it is one thing to be a hero and it is another thing to be a record holder.If she had sailed three thousand seven hundred kilometers further，she could have said that she had broken the record.”
1．When did Jessica Watson probably start her journey?
A．In October 2009. B．In December 2009.
C．In January 2010. D．In May 2010.

Dikembe Mutombo has gotten over the sadness of the end of his playing career.He'll take some time before deciding what he wants to do next.
The 42­year­old Mutombo announced his retirement from basketball on Thursday after injuring his left knee in a playoff(季后赛) game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday，April 23,2009.
The oldest NBA player will have surgery on Monday.Although he would leave the court forever，he stayed upbeat as he chatted with reporters.
“Maybe I think I cried enough when I was on the floor，”Mutombo said.“I cried agai n when I got in the training room and when the doctor tried to talk to me.But right now，I think I have to be happy.”
Mutombo played for six teams，was the league's top defensive player four times and played in eight All­Star games over 18 seasons.
He said he would talk with his wife，Rose，and six children before deciding what he might do now.“When the season is over，I will have the time to reflect on(思考) myself and take time with my wife and kids，”Mutombo said.“Then we will decide what the next chapter of li fe will be like.”
Mutombo has been active for years in humanitarian(人道主义的) efforts，most of them benefiting causes in his native Africa.He was invited to attend President Barack Obama's inauguration(就职典礼) in January.
His most personal project is the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital，which opened in December 2007，in his native Democratic Republic of Congo.Mutombo contributed $19 million and set up a fundation(基金会) to raise money for the hospital，named after his late mother.
Mutombo played in only nine games in the regular season，but continued to be a valuable role model for the Houston Rockets' younger players，particularly Yao Ming.
“A great person，not just on the court，but also off the court，”Yao said.“He always takes care of people.In the locker room，he always t eaches the young players to do the right thing.”
5．Mutombo's basketball career ended because________.
A．he was over the age limit
B．he was satisfied with his achievements
C．he suffered a knee injury
D．he decided to change his job
【解析】细节理解题。

his retirement from basketball on Thursday after injuring his left knee”可知，穆托姆博的篮球职业生涯结束是因为他膝盖受了伤。

【答案】C

【答案】B
7．We can infer from the last paragraph that Mutombo is quite________.
