Question

16．We arrived on Christmas morning，at Bridgetown Harbor in Barbados．Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own．But my wife，Kate，said all she wanted to do was go for a quick swim and do a bit of walking near the harbor．Despite my misgivingswe were one of the first couples off the gangplank（跳板）．
"Let's grab a local taxi and take it to a beach，"said Kate．"What if we miss returning to the Olympia Voyager before she sails？"I asked．
"You worry too much．"
A twenty-year rusty car stopped，and a smiling man who claimed to be a taxi driver reported he was ready to take us swimming．
"How much？"I asked．
"Five dollars，"he said．
His name was Vincent Clarke，who did not appear to have any guns or knives．
"Sounds fine，"said Kate．She started to get in the taxi．
"Just hold on，"I said．"I want to ask Vincent a question or two．"
"Ask me anything，"he said．"I have no secrets．"
"We have been told that you may take us into the hills and rob us and kill us．"
"No，I will not harm you．It is a serious crime to kill a tourist．I will cost you five dollars and I promise you that I will get you back to the Olympia in plenty of time．"
"Let's go，"said Kate．She got in．
We drove for about three minutes and parked at a beach，and while Kate swam，Vincent and I talked as Christmas music played on his taxi radio．Some time later，Kate retimed to the taxi．Then Vincent drove us to the power plant，and a university，and then we sped through a poverty-stricken area．When we arrived，Vincent charged us twenty dollars．Five dollars a person each way．The tour，he said，was free．
Free indeed!
I thanked Vincent for not killing us and only charging us four times his original quote（報(bào)價(jià)）．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了作者和妻子兩人在旅行中去了一個(gè)聽(tīng)說(shuō)充滿危險(xiǎn)的小島去游泳的經(jīng)歷，最后出租車師傅把帶領(lǐng)二人轉(zhuǎn)一圈后，收了原來(lái)說(shuō)好的四倍的價(jià)錢，讓作者感到很是不悅．

解答 41．答案 A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own．可知，作者聽(tīng)說(shuō)這個(gè)小島非常危險(xiǎn)，他擔(dān)心他們兩人的安全問(wèn)題，故答案為A
42．答案 C 詞義猜測(cè)題 根據(jù)第一段第二句Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own．還有本句despite盡管，可以猜測(cè)出misgivings的意思是worries，故答案為C
43．答案 B 推理判斷題根據(jù)But my wife，Kate，said all she wanted to do was go for a quick swim and do a bit of walking near the harbor還有下文描寫到妻子不多考慮，馬上坐出租車就走，做事非常干凈利索，說(shuō)明妻子是一位有獨(dú)立頭腦的（independent-minded）人，故答案為B
44．答案A  推理判斷題 根據(jù)I thanked Vincent for not killing us and only charging us four times his original quote（報(bào)價(jià)）．可知，其實(shí)此處是作者的諷刺，本意是Vincent這個(gè)人不值得信任，故答案為A

點(diǎn)評(píng) 英語(yǔ)記敘文以描寫敘述為主，主要描寫人物、事件、地點(diǎn)、或過(guò)程．特點(diǎn)是，其主題往往潛伏在字里行間，沒(méi)有直接地表白出來(lái)；文章主旨要透過(guò)體察所揭示的人物、事件來(lái)進(jìn)行提煉．描寫手法大多按時(shí)間跨度、空間順序、上下順序來(lái)展開(kāi)．閱讀記敘文體應(yīng)采取掠讀和掃讀的方法，快速抓住文中描寫的主要內(nèi)容，從整體上去把握文章的連貫性，進(jìn)而大體上揣測(cè)出作者的寫作意圖及情感主線．高考閱讀就記敘文設(shè)題大多以細(xì)節(jié)理解為主．
