18.The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽車) adventure finally arrived,and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort(度假地).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 on the snow,and the trails (路線) 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,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 frightened me to death.I kept imagine 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 (重擊).I started off slowly and felt the wind in my face.I smiled and sped up a little.With a"Yee-haw!"I went full out,taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless,carefree(輕松愉快的)note,and I felt proud of myself-proud of overcoming my fear.

分析 本文描述的是作者面對突如其來的恐懼感以及最后如何想盡辦法克服該障礙的.
解答 21.B 推理判斷題.概括總結第一段內容可確定B正確.根據(jù)第二段可排除A;根據(jù)第一段最后一句可排除C;文章中作者只是擔心會撞倒樹上,并非真正撞到樹了,所以D錯誤.
22.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)I smiled and sped up a little.With a"Yee-haw!"I went full out,taking my husband on the best ride of the day.以及We ended the day on that breathless,carefree(輕松愉快的)note,and I felt proud of myself-proud of overcoming my fear.可得知,A 為正確選項.
23.C 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)本詞出現(xiàn)的下面一句說作者內心希望克服恐懼,而自己又總是被它左右,可知應該是討厭這種恐懼感.選C
24.D 主旨大意題.本文作者描述了終于可以雪上汽車冒險了非常興奮的心情,但是真正開始后,作者又被一種莫名的恐懼所籠罩.直到午飯后,周圍的幽靜美景讓作者徹底地放松、清靜下來.因此作者把最后一段旅程作為克服自己恐懼的機會,成功后喜悅而自豪,所以D正確.
