Question

【題目】 Danelle Ballengee, 35, was a world-class athlete who had run in over 500 long distance competitions through deserts and mountains around the world. Up ahead, Taz disappeared, but Danelle did not worry as she climbed a rocky path to the top of a ridge (山脊) near the top, her foot hit a piece of ice. She slipped over a stone and fell over a cliff (懸崖).

She was badly injured. She could swing her toes but when she tried to stand, the pain was terrible. The lower half of her body was useless.

Danelle looked at her watch. It was noon. She guessed she was three kilometers from her truck trapped in a hidden desert in winter. Then she heard Taz. He ran down from the top to meet her. Danelle remained still, her pain became less serious and she could think her way out of this trap. She would follow Taz down the path to the valley floor and crawl back to her truck.

She rolled onto her stomach. Taz went ahead of her, then back, wondering why Danelle didn’t follow him. Bearing the pain, she focused on her task.

Five hours later, Danelle reached the valley bottom, 500 meters closer to her goal, too tired. Then she noticed an ice-covered hole. She needed water to go through. She dipped her bottle into the hole, but it came out full of soil. She used the lid to slowly pick water from the surface. It took over 50 picks to get enough. She finally stopped as it was full. Danelle reached out to her and she put her arms around Taz. She fell his warmth and held on.

As the hours went on, Danelle tried to pay no attention to the pain and cold. She stared at the night sky, talked to Taz and counted the stars with him. Pain annoyed her constantly. Throughout the night, she took sips of water, realizing that if she drank too much, she would urinate and the liquid would freeze on her legs.

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要記敘了世界級運(yùn)動員Danelle Ballengee在一場長跑比賽中，從一處懸崖上摔了下來，在受了重傷的情況下和朋友Taz奮力求生的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中Danelle Ballengee, 35, was a world-class athlete who had run in over 500 long distance competitions through deserts and mountains around the world.可知，35歲的Danelle Ballengee是一位世界級的運(yùn)動員，她參加了500多場穿越世界各地沙漠和山脈的長跑比賽。由此可推知，從Danelle參加了數(shù)百項比賽，Danelle是個有經(jīng)驗的運(yùn)動員。故選D。

【2】詞意猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中She would follow Taz down the path to the valley floor and crawl back to her truck.可知，她會跟著Taz沿著小路走到谷底，然后爬回她的卡車。由此可知，Danelle忍受著痛苦，專注于想要回到自己的卡車那里。由此可知，此處task是指“回到她的卡車”。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中She used the lid to slowly pick water from the surface.可知，她用蓋子慢慢地把水面上的水收集起來。由此可知，Danelle通過用瓶蓋從水面把水收集起來，從洞里把干凈的水倒進(jìn)她的瓶子里。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中As the hours went on, Danelle tried to draw herself from the pain and cold. She stared at the night sky, talked to Taz and counted the stars with him.可知，隨著時間的流逝，Danelle試著不去注意疼痛和寒冷。她盯著夜空，和Taz說話，和他一起數(shù)星星。由此可知，Danelle通過數(shù)星星和和Taz說話來對抗疼痛和寒冷。故選B。
