For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we  hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving   next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to   smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.   They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms   in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
小題1: During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.
A．made friends with local residents
B．complained about the poor living conditions
C．enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D．recorded their experiences in different ways
小題2: What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A．He always missed out on the best thing.
B．He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C．A sound sleep was more important.
D．The next trip would be better.
小題3: What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to view wildlife in Africa.
B．Running into wildlife in Africa.
C．Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D．Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:B

試題分析：
小題1:D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段第三行 He used a camera. I used words. 可知，兩人用的是不一樣的方法，故選D
小題2:A 推斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段2,3行They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms   in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.可知 Daniel 認為他錯過了美好的東西。
小題3:B 主旨大意題。本文主要講了我和丹尼爾去了非洲的野外的經(jīng)歷。故選B
點評：本文主要講了我和丹尼爾去了非洲的野外的經(jīng)歷。以細節(jié)題的考查為主，在解答這類問題時要求學生抓住題干文字信息，采用針對性方法進行閱讀，因為這類題的答案在文章中可以直接找到。?

Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall over and drop all of the books. He was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（隨身聽）. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(鎖柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”
小題1: When Mark met him the first time, Bill was going _______.
A．to have a basketball gameB．to his classroom
C．to see MarkD．back home

B．were in the same middle school but not in the same high school
C．often had lunch together at school
D．had known each other before they began to study in middle school
小題4:In this passage, the phrase “break up” means _______.
