It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.”在我們動身的前兩天，她寫信通知我，她將在維也納中途離開我。那時再找一個朋友已經(jīng)太晚了，所以我要么從維也納回家，要么一個人繼續(xù)走。我繼續(xù)。我自己上了火車，自己住旅館，自己找路?？芍?，關(guān)于她第一次獨(dú)自旅行，作者說她不得不選擇自己去，故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.”那是30年前的事了，從那時起，我周游世界，通常是獨(dú)自一人。我仍然做我當(dāng)時做的事，那就是記日記。由此可知，文“The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way.”的意思是獨(dú)自旅行最棒的禮物就是一路上遇到的人。 solo travel 的意思是獨(dú)自旅行，故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.”我可能每次都是獨(dú)自出發(fā)，但我遇到了很多對我很重要的人。我在尼泊爾加德滿都遇見了我的丈夫。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結(jié)識了一生的朋友?？芍髡邚乃穆眯兄械玫降暮锰幨且宦飞纤龅搅撕芏嗳耍蔬xD。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 We39。ve all had cases where we39。ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by Dave, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a halfcentury after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as Wayward Road, Anytown California under the name Feeling guilty. When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, Dear PD, I39。ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don39。t give you my info. With respect, Dave. Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, Dave must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, Dave could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.（1）How much do we know about Dave? A.He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B.The police are trying to find out more about him.C.His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D.Dave is of course the man39。s real name indeed.（2）Why didn39。t Dave pay for the parking ticket until recently? A.He pletely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B.He didn39。t find it until almost half a century later.C.He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D.He didn39。t pay for it just because of procrastination.（3）What drove Dave to pay for the parking ticket at last? A.A strong sense of guilt.B.Fear of being tracked by the police.C.Worry about being fined more.D.Sudden change of his financial situation.（4）Which of the following can be the best title? A.Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB.Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44YearOld Parking TicketC.Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road Anytown CaliforniaD.Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，一位神秘的拖延者終于支付了44年的停車罰單。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate．”可知，Dave的車可能來自俄亥俄州。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, ‘Dave’ could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine．”可知，Dave直到最近才付停車費(fèi)是因?yàn)橥涎?。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and
