高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.

As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. 

But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心).  My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.

As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.

I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.

We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.

1.What is the story mainly about?

A. What the author loves about snowmobiling.

B. What difficulties the couple faced during their adventure.

C. What interested the author during her time snowmobiling.

D. How the author overcame her fear during her adventure.

2. What can be concluded from the article?

A. The author was confident as she was driving in the deserted wilderness.

B. The author didn’t get worried until they started to drive through the deserted wild.

C. Aware that she and her husband were the only people around, the author became anxious.

D. The author was so nervous that she almost crashed into a big tree.

3.According to the article, after lunch the author _____.

A. gradually calmed down

B. stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery

C. saw some wildlife on the mountain

D. was afraid to continue her journey

4.The underlined word “resent” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. consider    B. appreciate     C. hate       D. recognize

5.What message does the story convey?

A. A person’ s biggest enemy is his or her inner self.

B. It’s no use crying over the spilt milk.

C. Take time to enjoy the beauty of nature.

D. Respect and take pride in yourself.

We’ve prepared several destinations selected from four Asian countries for your adventure. Check them out:

Mongolia

Hardly anyone visits the country, and most people aren’t aware of the amazing potential it has. Head to Mongolia’s best-known national park, Terelji. Here, you can spend a night in a traditional tent to watch performances of archery (射箭) or enjoy outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains.

Indonesia

With the chance for world-class diving to visit the world’s biggest Buddhist temple, and to see amazing wildlife, Indonesia is a must-visit. A must-visit for anyone in Indonesia is Mount Ijen. It’s in East Java, the highest point of which is home to the most active volcano in the country, Mount Merapi. But the spot we recommend you visit is the Blue Fire Crater.

Malaysia

Want to achieve something great on your next Asian adventure? You should consider climbing one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia. Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia is home to Mount Kinabalu, the mountain that around 40,000 people from all around the world go to climb every year. The journey normally takes two days.

China

In Shaanxi province of the country lies the world’s most dangerous hiking trail (路线). It’s up Mount Huashan, which is only 2,155m high. But the dangerous part is not the top, but the narrow, wooden boards you have to climb up to reach the top. They’re fixed onto the mountainside in a way that doesn’t look very secure. Nevertheless, many adventurers try and take a hair-raising picture as they climb up.

1.Where can tourists have access to local life?

A.Terelji. B.Kinabalu National Park.

C.Mount Ijen. D.Mount Huashan.

2.What is special about Mount Huashan?

D.It has the most dangerous route.

3.What do all the destinations have in common?

Spain

With its sky-high scores in friendliness and fun, adventure in Spain is always as close as the nearest street.
