Question

    Two months ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate（同事）,Chris. We decided to drive across the country after the meeting. The drive would take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）.

The first day was a lot of fun because we were happy to hear each other's jokes（玩笑）. But on the third day, we began to get bored. We were quite quiet for some hours when Chris saw some kangaroos（袋鼠）.We were both excited and decided to take a closer（近一点的） look. Chris drove very quickly to catch up with（赶上）them. We got closer and closer when we heard a loud BANG!

Chris stopped the car and we got out. Beside the car was a large kangaroo lying on the ground. Chris went over to it and put his cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I took out my camera. When I was focusing（调整焦距）the camera, I saw the kangaroo move(移动). It suddenly woke up, and ran away before we could do anything.

I started laughing but Chris looked worried. He said his wallet was in the jacket. I started laughing even louder. I stopped laughing when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket.

【解析】

本文讲述了作者和同事Chris在澳大利亚开车穿过沙漠。他们听见一声巨响，以为倒在地上的那只袋鼠受伤了。Chris把自己的帽子，眼镜和夹克给那只袋鼠穿上，想让作者给他们拍照。那只袋鼠醒来，带着Chris的夹克就跑了，那件夹克里有Chris的钱包和车钥匙。

1.细节理解题。根据“Two months ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate（同事）,Chris.”可知，作者去澳大利亚开会，故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据“The drive would take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）.”可知，根据计划，开车需要四天，故选B。

3.词义猜测题。A. boring无聊的；B. thirsty 口渴的；C. hungry饥饿的；D. bored/sleepy困倦的。根据“We were quite quiet for some hours”可知，我们安静了好几个小时，因此感到困倦了，故选D。

4.推理判断题。根据“Beside the car was a large kangaroo lying on the ground.”可知，看见一只大袋鼠躺在地上，因此推断那声巨响应是打猎的声音，故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据“I took out my camera. When I was focusing（调整焦距）the camera, I saw the kangaroo move(移动). It suddenly woke up, and ran away before we could do anything.”可知，当我调整焦距要给Chris和袋鼠拍照时，袋鼠跑了，作者没有拍成照片，因此A项不正确。根据“He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket.”和“He said his wallet was in the jacket. I started laughing even louder. I stopped laughing when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket.”可知，Chris把夹克盖在袋鼠身上，袋鼠带着那件夹克跑了，它把夹克里面的车钥匙和钱包都带走了，因此B项是正确的。根据“The drive would take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）.”可知，他们决定开车穿过沙漠，不是步行，因此C项不正确。根据“I stopped laughing when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket.”可知，当作者知道汽车钥匙也被袋鼠带走了，他停止笑了，感到不高兴。因此D项不正确。故选B。
