Question

【題目】I was going to die in Antarctica, I was certain．An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around．In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky．I gazed sadly at my team．They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon．

I was leading an expedition （探險(xiǎn)） attempting to reach the south pole．The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world, from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus, many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent before we set off．Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole．

As I watched, the rest of the team marched on, unaware that I was not with them．By the time I realized that my sledge was firmly trapped, the team were already a long way ahead of me．I called out to Era, my teammate, " Era! Stop !"

Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind．Seconds passed．Nothing．I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the low temperatures of Antarctica．

My strength increased when I thought of a cold lonely death．I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free．The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance．I struggled to my feet and set off after the team．

I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing．She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance．

As we continued, my panic slowly faded．For the rest of the day, each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes．They were not going to risk losing me again．

試題分析：本文講述“我”帶領(lǐng)一個(gè)國際女子探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)在南極探險(xiǎn)，途中我的雪橇被冰雪卡住，以致掉隊(duì)。后來“我”經(jīng)過努力，克服了危機(jī)，趕上了隊(duì)伍。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本段中I was going to die in Antarctica及l(fā)ifeless、empty wilderness等清楚地表明我當(dāng)時(shí)心里非�？只拧⒔箲]。根據(jù)后文來看，我遇到了麻煩，掉了隊(duì)，并非迷了路，因此D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段末尾句our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole句意：我們的目標(biāo)是成為到達(dá)南極的最國際化女子團(tuán)隊(duì)，得知They were all female全員女性是這支隊(duì)伍的特殊之處。故選A

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第五段第一句話My strength increased when I thought of a cold lonely death當(dāng)我想到自己在寒冷和孤獨(dú)中死去時(shí)我的力量增加了，得知her strong desire to live她強(qiáng)烈的求生欲望給了她動(dòng)力。故選B

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。有全文最后一段倒數(shù)第二句，F(xiàn)or the rest of the day, each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes在剩下的日子里，每隔幾分鐘每個(gè)隊(duì)員都會(huì)偷偷瞄一眼彼此，得知to make sure that none fell behind是為了確認(rèn)沒人掉隊(duì)。故選B

【5】D主旨大意題。故事講的是我在探險(xiǎn)途中掉隊(duì)遇險(xiǎn)的經(jīng)歷。A項(xiàng)講怎樣在南極生存；B項(xiàng)中“mysterious”與原文不符；C項(xiàng)的重點(diǎn)在“女子探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)”均不合題意。故選D
