When I was nine years old, I went off to summer camp for the first time. And my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. While reading, you have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to experience the adventure land inside your own mind. And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this.

On the very first day, our counselor(顾问) gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill(浸润) camp spirit. And it went like this: “R-O-W-D-I-E, that's the way we spell rowdie. Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie . Yeah！”. So I couldn't figure out why we had to spell this word incorrectly. But I recited the cheer along with everybody else. I did my best. And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books.

But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the room came up to me and asked me, “Why are you being so mellow(安静的)?” Mellow, of course, is the exact opposite of R-O-W-D-I-E. And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.

And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. And I felt kind of guilty about this. I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me but I just gave them up.

1.According to the author, what would the coming camp be like?

A.It would be very noisy.

B.It would involve lots of reading.

C.It would be full of danger and excitement.

D.It would make a good chance to get close to nature.

2.How did the author feel about the cheer part?

A.Puzzled. B.Excited.

C.Concerned. D.Frightened.

3.How did the counselor react on seeing the author reading?

A.She got very angry.

B.She praised the author.

C.She asked the author to share the book

D.She indirectly advised the author not to read.

4.Why was the author guilty?

A.She was kind of quiet.

B.She had to leave her books unread.

C.She was unwilling to open her books.

D.She didn't follow the counselor's advice.

高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

The USA

Well, imagine how my sister felt when she went off for the first time to New York for a business trip. After a few days she was still amazed at how friendly everyone was to her until she took a taxi back to her hotel one night. First she gave just the name of the hotel, but when asked she said the address too. Then she was asked how to get there, but of course she didn’t know. Imagine how frightened she was when the driver started shouting at her for not knowing the way.

The UK

A friend was in London for a conference. He took a taxi and there were no problems: the driver knew the way and was very cheerful. The problem started when he realized he had stupidly left his laptop on the back seat! He called the company up and, in a panic, went straightaway to their Lost and Found office. He was over the moon to find the laptop waiting for him, and then very surprised that it was one of 2,900 left in taxis over the past six months!

Tunisia

Well, my brother took a Mediterranean cruise(巡游) one summer and had a day in Tunis. He spent most of the afternoon in the Medina buying presents when he suddenly realized he’d completely lost track of time and there was only half an hour before the ship left the port. There had been loads of yellow taxis in the centre so he wasn’t too bothered until he stood on the pavement and waited for one to appear——and of course there wasn’t a single one in sight! Nothing! He questioned a passer-by who explained that the cost for the taxi ride goes up in the evening so the taxi drivers disappear until they can charge higher prices! Luckily for my brother the man then offered to give him a lift and he caught the boat on time!

1.What was the author’s sister’s trip by taxi in the US like?

A. Unpleasing and scary.　　　　　　　 B. Tiring but impressive.

C. Relaxing and exciting.　　　　　　　 D. Interesting but strange

2.The underlined part “over the moon” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.

A. very happy　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. extremely sad

C. quite surprised　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. pretty annoyed

3.Why couldn’t the author’s brother find a taxi in Tunis?

A. Because it was too late.

B. Because the weather was bad.

C. Because he didn’t know how to call a taxi.

D. Because the taxi drivers disappeared on purpose.

4.What do the three stories have in common?

A. They are all about taking a taxi.

B. They are all about business trips.

C. They are all about great services.

D. They are all about the author’s family.
