二、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As I stuck in the mud (泥), with my bike on top of me, I wondered what had forced me to come here. Madagascar is not a good place for a cycling holiday:one of the world's poorest countries, only 11 percent of roadway is paved (铺). South of the town of Antalaha, where I started, the road was in worse condition.
I appeared from a week in the wilderness and reached the start of the Route National 5 at Maroantsetra, but my dream of a smooth road and speed was suddenly destroyed by mud. The “worst road in the country” changed my bicycle into a burden (负担) for days. Finally, I_was_claimed_by_the_road. Tired. Alone.
As I wiped (擦) the mud from my face and looked upwards, I was greeted by a Malagasy man. He helped me stand up and smiled playfully while he pointed to my bike, which sat next to his. I started again. But I fell again in the mud. Angrily, I told him to go on, but if he understood he showed no sign of it. His smile forced me back onto the bike. We continued like this for hours. But I fell less. Studying my quick guide, slowly I learned. As we passed through a village, a group of children saw me and shouted loudly. His only words were:“Their parents tell them white people steal and eat them. Funny, no?”
I tried to ask why, but he had already set off.I tried to catch up; as I got closer, he took it as a challenge and sped up. We raced along the road. I rode a little faster and I was just behind, about to catch up with him. With a smile, he sped up and was away, leaving me breathless.

B
This journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although
I had completed my packing before eight o'clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.
I decided to step out and stretch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.
I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man, He called to me again and signaled me to join him. For a moment. I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine, and saw no reason not to do so.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在旅行途中复杂的情感。 5.Why did the author set off later than planned? A.He repeatedly checked the house.
B.He was feeling sad about leaving the house. C.Packing his belongings took longer than expected. D.There was no one to help him get everything ready.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order”可知,作者因为不断检查屋子因此导致动身较晚。这里需要注意B项,作者提到It was a strange feeling,但并没有说是因为离开家太伤感。
6.What caused the author to start driving more slowly?
A.The road had become steep.
B.He realized he was driving too fast. C.The beautiful scenery attracted him. D.He suddenly feared that he might get lost.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all”和“it caused me to slow down”可知,作者害怕自己走错路因此才开得慢了下来。
7.When the author walked out of his car, he ________. A.didn't expect to see anyone B.didn't want to speak to anybody C.didn't know there was a town nearby D.couldn't see anything because of the tree
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Until this point I had believed myself quite alone”可知,作者以为就自己一个人在路上,没有想到会遇到任何人。
8.What was the author's attitude to his trip? A.He just wanted to finish it. B.He felt unable to continue it. C.He regretted having started it. D.He had mixed feelings about it.
