I found a door that was wide enough for me to pass through. Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降機(jī)井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a oneman elevator with a long rope and roller. I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began going up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals(間隔), forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11yearold, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall. After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（滅火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky. I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home. 　72. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure? a.

(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢?New Zealand is in the South Pacific, about 1,200 miles southeast of Australia. It’s not a very big country, about the same size as Great Britain or Japan, but it has much smaller population, only million. I suppose when most people think of New Zealand they think of New Zealand lamb or butter and it’s true that a lot of the country is farmland. But there’s a lot more to it than that. There are people who say that it’s the most beautiful, unspoiled country in the world. I don’t know about that, but it’s certainly an amazing place to cast. There are so many different types of scenery and climates. We have almost everything. In the north there are fantastic beaches, mountains, volcanoes, even a small area of desert, and the climate is pleasant and warm, usually around twentyfive degrees in the summer, while in the south of the country the temperatures are lower, especially in winter, and the scene is almost like Norway or Canada. There are glaciers, fjords (峽灣)， and lots of snowcovered mountains where you can go skiing. There are so many different things to see and do. Most people live on North Island, and that’s where the two biggest cities are, Wellington and Auckland. Wellington, the capital city, is a very nice place with a beautify harbor. Auckland is actually the biggest city in terms of population of over one million. It is called “the city of sails” because of all the sailing boats there. Both North Island and South Island are very mountainous. There are several volcanoes on North Island, and South Island is really divided into two halves by a big range of mountain’s that runs from north to south, called the Southern Alps. That’s the area where most people go skiing, or do other adventure sports such as climbing or bungee jumping.69. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.
