As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods.“The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse.If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(語氣) of airy acceptance.It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索).Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.
Often we got “l(fā)ost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期).In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _______.
A.spend their free time B.play golf and other sports
C.avoid doing their schoolwork D.keep away from their parents
What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?
A.The activities in the woods were well planned.
B.Human history is not the result of exploration.
C.Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D.The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.calm B.doubtful C.serious D.optimistic
How does the author feel about his childhood?
A.Happy but short. B.Lonely but memorable.
C.Boring and meaningless. D.Long and unforgettable.

科目:高中英語 來源:2012-2013學年內蒙古巴市高三第五次模擬考試英語卷(解析版) 題型:單項填空
Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!
When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!
When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.
1.Why did the author just freeze when the four young men walking toward her car?
A. Because she was afraid of being harmed.

2.Which of the following words can best describe the four young men?
A. Impolite. B. Ill-mannered.
C. Unfriendly D. Warm-hearted.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. One of the four teenagers was a gang member.
B. The kids wanted to help the author out of trouble.
C. The author would have a baby in her car.
D. The young men enjoyed pushing cars out of the snow.
