The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers39。 questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn39。t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together. Why don39。t you travel with us? one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London. It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel39。s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined plete strangers, who bee close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I39。ve backpacked alone across South Africa, skydived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the . with no job lined up. On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn39。t picked up the phone.（1）By My stomach was in knots (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was ______. A.sick of riding on a bumpy busB.nervous of meeting strangersC.upset about the sudden changeD.sorry about the impractical plan（2）Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met? A.Courageous but disrespectful.B.Jobless and poorly educated.C.Warmhearted and trustworthy.D.Homeless but lighthearted.（3）The author39。s sixth sense told her that ______. A.she would get along with the backpackersB.it might cause trouble to have a swimC.she ought to stay away from the backpackersD.it could add excitement to get a free ride（4）What can be inferred from the passage? A.Most of the backpackers became the author39。s lifelong friends.B.The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.C.The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.D.The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者原本與朋友約好去旅游，卻被放了鴿子，她決定一個人去。途中她遇見了五個背包客，這些背包客邀請她一起去旅游，她和這些人一起經(jīng)歷了美好的幾天，并和他們成了好朋友。 （1）考查句義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn39。t pick up and I had no other way to reach her.可知作者被朋友放鴿子了，被放鴿子肯定是失望的，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的‘Why don39。t you travel with us?’ one of the backpackers offered可知這些背包客邀請作者一起旅游，說明他們很熱心；根據(jù) They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could可知這些背包客旅游經(jīng)驗很豐富，所以是值得信任的，綜合選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes.可知這些背包客邀請作者一起旅游時，她的本能也就是第六感說了好，也就是說她的第六感讓她相信她能和這些背包客相處的很好，才會答應(yīng)他們的邀請，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone.可知作者覺得自己選擇一個人旅游讓自己看到了更大的世界，以及最后一段中的Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn39。t picked up the phone.可知作者慶幸她的朋友沒有接她的電話。由此可以判斷作者認(rèn)為自己選擇一個人去旅行是一個很好的決定，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及句義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 It can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children39。s books printed in the target language. At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would remend is to read a chapter of your chosen children39。s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children39。s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.（1）Why was the author advised to read children39。s books? A.Because she was weak in reading great works.B.Because she was slow to learn language.C.Because she liked children39。s literature.D.Because
