They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.

As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤) us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.

The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.

We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.

As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.

1.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

A.They made a careful preparation before the trip

B.They children were more joyful than their parents.

C.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.

D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.

2.The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means            .

A.we were weak

B.we were unhappy

C.we were dissatisfied

D.we were disappointed

3.Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?

A.It proved to be frightening.

B.It was more comfortable

C.It turned out to be exciting

D.It made each of them tired.

4.We can infer from the passage that          .

A.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way

B.one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.

C.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.

D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

 

1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 【解析】 1.细节理解We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.结果是:shocked at how narrow the path was,当然是not as lovely as they expected. 最已混淆的是D,但从全文看他们的旅途不愉快,主要是身体虚弱而非夏天的热。 2.推理归纳path出乎预料的艰难,太阳火辣,决定返回,回来时必然是“软弱无力” 3.推论总结as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”可看出他们胆战心惊, frightening早已代替了comfortable。 4.细节推论作者显然是在开玩笑的提出了第四种方式—买本杂志舒舒服服的看大峡谷,不用担惊受怕。on mules 没有尝试无从谈起,排除A。穿衣多少没有谈到。排除B ,从pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted,,可知有意制造惊险,并无危险事故,排除D。
