When I was a boy there were no smart phones. Computers were something you saw on STAR TREK(星际航行),and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature ready-made playgrounds.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.The dirt road give way to a rock one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve(弯曲处) and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists(弯曲) and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our heart, if we can insist.【1】Why was the author never bored when he was a boy?A. Because there was still a TV.B. Because he liked hiking alone.C.

答案:【答案】【1】 D 【2】 C 【3】 A 【4】 B 【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过自己的亲身经历,说明了所有的路,最终都是回家的路。【1】细节理解题。答案定位在第一段Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature ready-made playgrounds.可知作者小时候从不觉得无聊是因为因为他的房子周围有很多地方可以玩,故选D。【2】推理判断题。答案定位在第二段It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.(它到处都是洞和泥泞的小路,两边都是茂密的树林,但探索它仍然像是一场美妙的冒险。)由此可见尝试一种新的和特殊的体验使作者决定走这条老路,故选C。【3】推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第二段It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.(那是一所我认得的房子。我的心跳了起来!我跳上跳下,放声大笑。)由此推断出作者看到远处有一所熟悉的房子时感觉非常激动,故选A。【4】推理判断题。最后一段I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists(弯曲) and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our heart, if we can insist.(我记得最近见过的一则标语是这样说的:“所有的路都是回家的路。”此言不虚,这辈子所有的路不管怎样迂回曲折,最终都会引导着我们回家,有的是回到这里,回到我们物质层面的家,有的是回到我们心灵的家园。)由此推断出作者提到这则标语是为了介绍他想说的话,故选B。
