Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east. A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver. “I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.” “You will drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed. “No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said. “It’s a long way,” I protested. “Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.” As we drove from the station in her car,, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan（乐善好施者）picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along,” she said. When I offered her money as a thank you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice to somebody. Pass it along.”

1.Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?

A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.

B. No driver would give him a ride.

C. He didn’t know the routes.

D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.

2.Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?

A. No bus would come at the time.

B.A taxi ride would be more comfortable.

C. He became impatient and a bit worried.

D. He knew the driver would never return

3.The bus driver drove the writer home later because________.

A. she happened to go in the same direction

B. she wanted to do something good for other people

C. her brother told her to do so

D. she wanted to earn more money

4.The bus driver hoped that the writer______.

A. would do as she did　　　　　　　　　 　 B. would keep her in memory

C. would give the money to others　　　 D. would do her a favor

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I’m originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. The Point was known for its massive rip currents(退潮流).

So, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. He called me, “Hey, I got a couple of kids. I gotta go and give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.” I said, “Sure.”

And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone and grabbed his buoy(航标), a rip was snapped up under these two kids, and they were getting sucked out. All I saw was two small noses bobbing in the water. Mike was dashing toward the ocean.

By now, the mother of the two kids realized what was happening. She was screaming. I started rushing toward her, but before I was even halfway there, Mike reached the kids.

Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water and started bringing them in. When I reached their mother, Mike was in waist-deep water. The kids were so exhausted, so Mike was carrying them, one under each arm.

I turned to their mom, “Hey, it’s OK. They’re safe.” I saw her terror start to fade.

She glanced back and got her first good look at Mike. He had a number of really scary tattoos( 纹身), and his shaved head showed the scar he got from a broken beer bottle.Then a crazy thing happened. I saw a new kind of panic wash over her as though there was some new, equally dangerous threat on her kids’ lives. She rushed up to Mike and snatched her kids. Not even a thank-you.

Mike just glanced at me, shrugged, and jogged back to his tower.

If any other guard had worked at that night, including me, there would be a very real chance that that mother wasn’t going home with both her kids.

1.Which of the following words can best describe “ Mike’s reaction to the two kids in danger” ?

A.Rude and aggressive. B.Quick and brave.

C.Careless and risky. D.Slow and cautious.

2.Why didn’t the woman say “ thank you” to Mike?

A.He was rude to her kids.

B.She was too exhausted to say any words.

C.He got tired of being highly thought of.

D.He looked like a threatening guy with tattoos and scars.

3.What information does the author want to convey in the story?

A.Be a friendly and easy-going lifeguard.

B.Watch out for your kids playing on the beach.

C.Don’t let fear or prejudice prevent you recognizing a hero.

D.Never judge a hero by his way of rescuing.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I’m originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard for five seasons. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. If you wanted to save lives, that's where you worked. The Point was known for its massive rip currents((激流)

So, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. I'd known Mike for a number of years. Mike had a rough upbringing. You can tell just by looking at him. He has a number of really frightening tattoos (纹身)，and his bald head shows the scar he got from a broken beer bottle. Maybe he wasn't the friendliest guard on the beach. I admit, I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in friendly appearance and social skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.

He called me over the phone and said, “Hey, I got a couple kids. I gotta go give’ em a warning. Keep an eye on us. “

I said, “Sure, “ and hung up.

Anytime you get out of your tower, you're supposed to let somebody else know, in case a situation develops. And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone, a rip was snapped up under these two kids, and they're getting sucked out. Mike saw it before it's happening, and he's running full speed toward the ocean. I scanned the water. All I saw was two small. noses bobbing (上下浮动)in the water.

I dropped my binos(望远镜)and I called in and said,” “Double rescue 17-he's out. I'm going. “ Mike was already punching through the surf line. By now, the mother of the two kids realized what's happening. She's on her feet and screaming.

Paragraph 1:

Mike reached the kids-a brother and sister around eight or nine years old

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Then the mother glanced back and got her first good look at Mike, as well as his tattoos.
