Question

【題目】 I heard the bees long before I saw them.

It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.

I heard a low hum(嗡嗡聲)，which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.

After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.

But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.

I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.

But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

試題文章大意：本篇文章為記敘文．文章描寫了炎熱的下午，我與朋友去河里游泳的途中，遭到一群蜜蜂襲擊，以及我們?nèi)绾纬晒Φ財[脫蜜蜂的故事。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段我們可以知道the writer，John，Peter和Mary四個人去游泳，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)推理題。第三段第二，三句話From a distance，the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke；I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.是說"從遠處看，這群蜜蜂就像是一團濃煙，當它們越來越近時，我意識到，事實上這是成千上萬的蜜蜂飛向我"，根據(jù)第二三句，我們就可輕易地得知it 是指the group of bees，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)推理題。從第二段最后一句Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump．I was trapped可得知，作者一開始并沒有跳入水里是因為作者too far away to jump，離水池太遠，故選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。從第四段All I could do was cover my face with hands，我們可知道，作者試圖用手遮住臉，并認為只要一動不動，蜜蜂就以為是一塊巖石了，但是第五段說…I knew my plan hadn't worked．因此作者并沒有擺脫蜜蜂，故排除A和D，B文章沒有提及。根據(jù)I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool可知最后作者跳入了水池，故選C。

【5】歸納推理題。文章先是交代了 John跳入水中，接著作者聽到蜜蜂的嗡嗡聲，隨后蜜蜂襲擊了作者，作者也跳入水中，但是蜜蜂仍在他們的頭頂上徘徊．根據(jù)這條主線，我們就可以歸納出故事發(fā)生的先后順序，故選A。
