A 16-year-old South Dakota boy who became lost while hunting and spent 16 hours alone in the Black Hills National Forest says he was scared but still managed to make a survival plan.
Austin DuVall, of Rapid City, became lost on Nov.3 while hunting with his father. He ran after a deer, and soon found himself alone. “I ran after a deer, but I didn’t get it,” he said. “Then I was really lost.”
He had only his hunting rifle(步槍) and the clothes he was wearing. He had no food or water and had nothing that could help him find his way to safety. “I knew that no one could hear me. I decided to just sleep and get up in the morning and find safety,” he said.
Austin climbed up on a rock and slept through the night. Then he awoke and relied on skills he learned in a hunter safety course. He followed a stream to an occupied cabin. The couple there called his parents and cooked him a breakfast. “ It’s probably one meal I’ll never forget for the rest of my life,” he said.
After DuVall’s disappearance, a lot of emergency officials and more than 100 volunteers went searching for him. “He wasn’t sitting there waiting for someone to come and find him,” said his father, Steve DuVall. “We didn’t find him; he found himself.”
Mike Kintigh, regional supervisor for the Game, Fish & Parks Department, said one or two hunters will go missing each year, but rarely for more than 24 hours. “We’re a little bit unique in the Black Hills as it’s hard to get lost for a very long time. That’s because we’ve got so many roads here compared to the Rocky Mountains,” Kintigh said. “You can certainly spend a very uncomfortable night in the woods like Austin did.”
小題1:After Austin realized he lost his way, he ___.
A.was very nervous but excited
B.cried aloud for help
C.tried to find a safe place
D.decided to sleep in the wild
小題2: Who saved Austin according to his father?
A.The couple in the cabin.
B.Emergency officials.
C.Volunteers.
D.Himself.
小題3:From what Mike Kintigh said, we learn that _______.
A.if someone gets lost in the Rocky Mountains, it is hard to find a way out
B.too many people go missing in the Black Hills every year
C.the rescue team is skillful enough to find the lost people in less than 24 hours
D.people who are lost in the Black Hills have to spend a night in the woods

小題1:D
小題2:D
小題3:A

試題分析:本文敘述了Austin跟隨父親去打獵,由于追一只小鹿而使自己迷路,身上只有一支獵槍,沒有水喝沒有食物吃,于是憑借自己的知識(shí)訓(xùn)著這小溪走,結(jié)果找到了一對(duì)夫婦的家,他們給他吃了一頓飽飯又通知了家長(zhǎng),Austin憑借自己的聰明才智救了自己。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I decided to just sleep and get up in the morning and find safety他決定先睡一覺,故選D。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)We didn’t find him; he found himself.他自己救了自己,故選D。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)We’re a little bit unique in the Black Hills as it’s hard to get lost for a very long time. That’s because we’ve got so many roads here compared to the Rocky Mountains如果有人在落基山脈迷路,是很難找到出路的。故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng):推理判斷題屬于主觀題,是層次較高的題目。它包括判斷和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存,推理是為了做出正確的判斷,正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。該題要求在理解表面文字的基礎(chǔ)上做出判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意思和深層意思,也就是通過文章中的文字信息,上下邏輯關(guān)系及事物的發(fā)展變化等已知信息,推斷出作者沒有直接表達(dá)的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)。

It was the summer of 1936.The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin.I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump.A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches.Nearly everyone expected me to win.
I was in for a surpriseWhen the time came for the broad-jump trials(選拔賽), I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit (坑) at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps.He turned out to be a German named Luz Long.He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt.
A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes.I fouled (犯規(guī))twice on my qualifying jumps.Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly.Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long."Hi, I'm Luz Long.I don't think we've met." "Glad to meet you," I said.Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I'm fine.Something must be eating you.You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed." He said.
He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me.Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you're not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts." All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me.Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare.
Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance.The instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me.
小題1:The author said "I was in for a surprise" because he _____.

Before I started school, people felt that 1 was not going to be successful.At the age of four I started speech lessons because basically I could not speak well enough for anyone to understand me.The story goes downhill from here.
The first grade was a struggle.I not only had difficulty speaking, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn't do it.The second grade was not much better.I still struggled with the inability to read.It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close to my home.I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one.However, things were still not much better as far as my schooling was concerned and did not get better for the next two years.
