1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
It was 11 p. m. when Alex saw a woman standing by the railing on the Main Street Bridge, peering down at the rushing river below. Maybe she was fishing, Alex thought. He continued driving to his home for some tools as his friend's car had broken down. Tools in hand, he climbed into his car.
Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge. Something about that woman didn't sit right. Why would she be fishing this late at night in May when it was still cold in this city? As he crossed the bridge, Alex saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked his car with the hazards(警示灯)flashing, blocking one of the four lanes(车道). In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take note and help.
He stepped out and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. "Hey, what's going on?" Alex called out. The woman didn't answer or turn around. Alex stepped closer, asking again, "What's going on?" The woman remained silent, but Alex kept probing(追问), eventually pulling from her that she was going through a particularly rough patch. She was jobless, not doing well in school—in short, life wasn't working out as she'd hoped.
"Not everything goes as planned," agreed Alex. He started talking about the ups and downs in his life. As he talked, he inched closer. For the next hour he found enough topics of conversation to keep the woman engaged and even laughing. She grew comfortable enough to let him get within a few feet of her.
Then a switch seemingly went off. Without warning, she climbed onto the railing. Alex reached for her swiftly and exhausted all his strength to pull her off. Suddenly, the police arrived. Soon, the woman was taken to a hospital.
Sadly, this was not the first time someone tried to end it all on one of the city's bridges. What was unusual was what Alex did.
(1)、Why did Alex park his car with the hazards flashing?A、To check what was going on. B、To get another helping hand. C、To block one of the four lanes. D、To help his friend fix the broken car.(2)、Which of the following best describes Alex's personality?A、Kind and generous. B、Brave and determined. C、Helpful and patient. D、Ambitious and warm-hearted.(3)、What can we learn about the woman from the passage?A、The woman did well at school but was out of work. B、The woman remained silent throughout. C、The woman showed no interest in Alex's topics of conversation. D、The woman's life didn't go on as well as she had hoped.(4)、What's the best title of the passage?A、A Few Kind Words B、An Anxious Night C、A Warm-hearted Man D、An Unforgettable Experience -
2、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
From a seaside stroll along the white cliffs to endless green landscape, lace up your hiking boots and head out on one of these beautiful countryside walks within easy reach of London.
Goring Gap and the Thames Path
If you're in the mood for a gentle rural ramble, this stretch of the 184-mile Thames Path is far from boring. It starts in the pretty Oxfordshire village. The footpath follows the curve of the river as it flows south, winding past wildflower meadows, woods and the Hartslock Nature Reserve, which is home to red kites(红鸢)and rare orchids.
Epping Forest's Oak Trail
Get lost in ancient woods just outside the city. Marked with green-labelled posts, Essex's Oak Trail takes walkers towards 6,000-acre Epping Forest's hidden northern regions, where twisted beeches(山毛榉树)have grown massive crowns. You also pass a deer preserve and Iron Age earthworks-legend has it that Boudicca battled the Romans here.
Box Hill
Admire the glorious views, and then escape the crowds on Juniper Top and Bottom. But first you've got to hop across the River Mole's 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the trail begins. The endorphins(内啡肽)are definitely pumping by the time you reach Juniper Bottom-maybe that's how it got the nickname "Happy Valley".
The Kentish Coast
Fill your lungs with salty sea air on this walk around the Kentish coast, which takes in the three historic coastal towns passing through several other scenic and less populated bays. You may choose between walking along the top of the chalk cliffs or the walkways at beach level. You'll also pass plenty of former smugglers' caves that are great for rock pooling and fossil hunting, and there are beachside cafes dotted along the route.
(1)、Which walk is the best choice for a college student interested in history and legends?A、Box Hill. B、Goring Gap and Thames Path. C、The Kentish Coast. D、Epping Forest's Oak Trail.(2)、What can visitors do if they choose the route of The Kentish Coast?A、Explore the hidden northern regions. B、Escape the crowds and relax oneself thoroughly. C、Walk in the historic coastal towns. D、Enjoy a cup of coffee in the smugglers' caves.(3)、Where is the passage most likely taken from?A、A geography textbook. B、A travel advertisement. C、A travel journal. D、A newspaper report. -
