I was thrilled to go on an adventure wit...

    I was thrilled to go on an adventure with my master Rev.Young, a tall man with kind eyes.Mr. Muir was going too. But he said, “Such a helpless creature will only be in the way.” I was disappointed when I heard what he said, and yet I still wanted to follow him.

One stormy morning, Mr. Muir set out alone to study nature. He ordered me to stay behind. But I could not let him go alone, so I followed him into the wild weather. We crossed Taylor Glacier and endless sheet of ice, which was cut by cracks. I was unafraid and sailed over these bottomless holes. Mr. Muir was delighted that he was not crossing them alone.

As dusk fell, we reached an enormous crack that was impossible to jump across. In between the two sides was a U-shaped bridge of ice, so thin that one wrong step would mean dropping to your death. Daylight was disappearing, and gusty winds blew snow into my eyes. I turned to return to camp the way we came. However, Mr. Muir decided to cross the crack. He sat down and rode the narrow U-strip as if it were a horse. Once safe on the other side, he called out to me. But I had never been so terrified before. “I am not good at climbing steep slopes.” I was scared and thought.

Then I looked at Mr. Muir, already across on the safe side. Slowly, I began to cross it. I could feel his eyes on me the entire way. Before I knew it, I made the happiest landing of my life. I ran round and round and jumped up and hugged him. From that day on, we spent every moment together.

1.Why didn’t Mr. Muir want to take me with him at the beginning?

A.He suggested that I need some rest.

B.He possessed great self-confidence.

C.He considered me as a burden to him.

D.He thought I was too weak to make a trip.

2.How did Mr. Muir manage to cross the crack?

A.By climbing steep slopes.

B.By sliding over the U-strip.

C.By leaping across the crack.

D.By riding the narrow ice bridge.

3.Which of the following words best describes their trip?

A.Horrible. B.Risky. C.Well-planned. D.Pleasant.

 

1.C 2.D 3.B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者跟随Muir先生所进行的一次惊险的野外探险。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中But he said, “Such a helpless creature will only be in the way.”可知Muir认为带着作者这样一个无能的人只会碍事。由此可知,一开始Muir先生不想带作者一起去,是因为他认为作者是他的负担。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中He sat down and rode the narrow U-strip as if it were a horse.可知他坐下骑在这个窄的U型带上仿佛它是一匹马。由此可知,Muir先生试图通过骑在这个狭窄的雪桥上来设法跨过这道裂缝。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段中In between the two sides was a U-shaped bridge of ice, so thin that one wrong step would mean dropping to your death.可知在桥的两边有一座U形的冰桥,非常薄,走错一步就会摔死。由此可推知,他们的旅行惊心动魄,稍有不小心可能就会丧命,故B选项risky“有风险的”最能描述他们的旅行。故选B。
