10．

I remember sitting on my grandfather's knee listening to him reading'Around the world in 80days'by Jules Verne．It made me want to go out and explore just like Phileas Fogg．
Raphael，a sailor
The beauty is that you never get nothing from the sun，she is always giving us energy．Not once did we run out of power
Erwann，a captain
For 584days，Swiss adventurer Raphael braved storms，pirates and cloudy skies to finish the sailing around the whole world on a boat．The boat was powered by nothing but sun lights．
The boat，called"Turanor"after a word meaning"power of the sun"，as heavy as a whale and 30meters long，is as large as two tennis courts．It made history on May 4^th，2012，when it finally sailed into Port Hercules，Monaco，completing the first ever round-the-world journey by a solar-powered boat．
"The aim of this journey was to show the world that this technology is not science fiction，it is very real and it can help us change how we do things now rather than in the future，"said Raphael，"I remember sitting on my grandfather's knee listening to him reading'Around the world in 80days'by Jules Verne．It made me want to go out and explore just like Phileas Fogg．Everywhere we went people would gather around the boat．They had never seen such a strange boat before，"he added．
For 40-year-old Raphael，whose youth was spent reading through pages of adventure books，the sailing around the whole world this year was also a fruition of boyhood dreams．
"Most people think that if the sun doesn't shine the boat wouldn't work，but it is impossible to sail for one year and only have good weather．The beauty is that you never get nothing from the sun，she is always giving us energy．Not once did we run out of power，"said the captain．The boat is capable of storing enough power to allow it to travel for five full days without sunlight．
Raphael has reason to be proud．Having completed the 50，000kilometer journey，the"Turanor"returns with five Guinness World Records to its name：Longest solar journey； first solar circumnavigation； fastest solar crossing of the South China Sea； fastest solar crossing of the Atlantic and--no surprises here--a record for the world's largest solar-powered boat．
"I really hope our journey will make people realize the big power of solar energy and that it can be used for long-time travel，"he said．
Now back in Europe，Raphael is taking some time off to recharge his own batteries，before getting back to work，thinking of new ways to spread the solar power message to the world．

53．What helped Raphael finish this long，hard and even impossible sail？C
A．The storms and cloudy skies．
B．Five full days without sunlight．
C．His strong childhood dreams．
D．The large number of pirates．
54．What does the underlined sentence in the 3^rd paragraph mean？C
A．It's the time to think and do differently．
B．It's a chance to surprise the whole world．
C．It's time for us to use the energy of sun．
D．It's a chance to change ways of traveling．
55．Which of the following is TRUE to the boat-Turanor？B
A．It has five records as fastest，largest，and sailed longest．
B．It used the power of sun and traveled very long and fast．
C．It's so strange that many people gave lots of laugh at it．
D．It's now back in Europe ready for the second brave sail．
