The best family vacation that ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.

So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back set up so that it was out own little playroom. She would pack everything up in the feet well so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.

When it got to the point that we were at each other’s throats we would be sent back to out own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and travelled around the earth.

Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off（食品烘烤赛）. But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces as silly Plasticine(普萊斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other’s mouth open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.

So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.

1.What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?

A. Watch movies.

B. Play video games.

C. Have fun with his brother.

D. Pack things up to amuse himself.

2.What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”?

A. We were fighting with each other.

B. We used up our skills.

C. We were quite out of breath.

D. We were about to fall asleep.

3.What impressed the author most during the trip?

A. Playing cards and board games.

B. Pulling each other’s faces and eyes.

C. Having a cooking competition.

D. Playing with silly Plasticine.

4.Which of the following titles would best suit the passage?

A. An Unforgettable Family Travel

B. What Is the Most Meaningful Journey

C. The Good Old Day Never to Be Forgotten

D. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the Past

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, "Need a jack (千斤顶）.”

As I was about to give up，a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.

I tried to put $ 20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe Pd send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now，so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.

After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale (玉米粽子）for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $ 20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English, "Today you, tomorrow me. ” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.

This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.

Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help，I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

1.From the passage we can know that ________.

A．the Mexican man couldn’t speak English

B．the author’s jeep broke down on the road

C．the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit

D．$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family

2.Why did the author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife?

A．Because the Mexican man had refused to accept it.

B．Because the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.

C．Because the author thought the Mexican man’s wife was a bit greedy.

D．Because the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches.

3.The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that ________.

A．it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly

B．it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeep

C．it was possible that everyone might get into trouble

D．the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.

B. The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon in previous years.

C. The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.

D. What made the author cry was the tamale given by the girl.
