(B)
Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she decided to realize a childhood dream and sail around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn’t too uncomfortable.
We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.” Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing. Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s exactly why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.”

(答案→)C 解析：本文主要讲述的是一位60岁的退休老奶奶想独自一人沿着苏格兰的海岸线航行的故事。【小题1】C 推理题。根据本句Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity.说明在船里，尽管没有电，但是她仍然过得很舒服。该词是指C项。【小题2】C 推理题。根据We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”可知这里的I just hope it loves me.”希望大海能够让她安全行船，安全归来。故C正确。【小题3】D 推理题。根据文章最后2行Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s exactly why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.”可知她是想在自己年纪大的时候，仍然有积极向上的生活。故D正确。【小题4】D 推理题。她60岁了仍然想独自一人在海上，说明她很勇敢，思想很开放。根据“Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”说明她也很诚实。故D正确。【小题5】A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是一位60岁的退休老奶奶想独自一人沿着苏格兰的海岸线航行的故事。故A项“生活从60岁开始”符合题意。
