【答案与解析】本文讲述的是一对夫妇骑摩托车周游世界的故事。

1.C。

词义猜测题。

由文章第4段中的hiswife,…wenttoHobart,Tasmania,in1961可以推知答案为C。

2.B。

推断题。

根据theyarrivedinEnglandinJune…和TheyleftTasmaniainJanuary可知B 最正确。

3.C。

推断题。

根据Afterdriving10,000milesoverland…以及another14,000miles等关键词，可知回程比来程要远。

4.A。

推断题。

根据Theyexpecttheirfinalbilltobeabout￡1,000可以推算每一个人平均费用约合500美元。

5.D。

推断题。

根据
theyarrivedinEnglandinJune...plantostayfortwomonthsatTaunton,Somerset,…FortheirreturnworldtripMr.Wisetookayear’sunpaidleave.，我们知道他们是12年前(即1961年)移民到了Tasmania，所以“现在”，应是1973年。

他们到达英国是6月份，在那里要呆上两个月，而回程他们计划花一年的时间，故回到Tasmania的时间约为1974年8月份。

度假归来，马丁又要组织会议了。

他原本准备忍受会议的乏味，但随着会议的进行，他发现自己能根据别人所说的话知道他们心里的真实想法，因此他试着说出他们的真实想法，引导与会人员学着理解他人的想法，并坦诚地说出自己心里的想法。

因此，会议成为了一场开诚布公而让人信任的会议。

11、C细节理解题。

根据第一段Itwasnotjustthatitwastheendofawonderfulholiday 中的awonderfulholiday可判断，他在纽约的两周过得很愉快，由此判断答案选C。

12、D细节理解题。

根据第二段可判断，与会人员口是心非，表里不一，这种不公开、不诚实的会风使他厌烦，由此判断正确答案选D。

13、D词义猜测题。

第四段提到马丁能根据与会人员所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法，之后第五段接着说，他说出与会人员的真实想法，使别人都迷惑地看着他，由此判断，“他新获得的能力”即意为：他能根据别人的话说出他们心里的真实想法。

14、C细节理解题。

会初，马丁准备着忍受会议的乏味，而后随着会议的进行，他发现自己能根据别人所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法，对此他做出反应，即试着说出他们心里的真实想法，从而引导人们学会理解他人的想法，并坦诚地说出自己心里的想法。

由此判断正确答案选C。
