2015同等学力英语阅读练习(1)

　　阅读理解：

　　Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking(搭车)before. However，the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door，and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet. She said to Andrea，in a voice that was almost a whisper，“Thank you，dearie-I’m just going to Brockbourne”.

　　Something in the way the lady spoke，and the way she never turned her head，made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She didn’t know why，but she felt instinctively that there was something ... wrong，something odd，something ... dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous?It was absurd.

　　Careful not to turn her head，Andrea looked sideways at her passenger. She studied the hat，the dirty collar of the dress，the shapeless body，the arms with their thick black hairs...

　　Thick black hairs?

　　Hairy arms?Andrea’s blood froze.

　　This wasn’t a woman. It was a man.

　　At first，she didn’t know what to do. Then suddenly，an idea came into her racing，terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly，she threw the car into a skid(刹车)，and brought it to a halt.

　　“My God!”she shouted，“A child!Did you see the child?I think I hit her!”

　　The“old lady”was clearly shaken by the sudden skid，“I didn’t see anything，dearie，”she said.“I don’t think you hit anything.”

　　“I’m sure it was a child!‘insisted Andrea.’Could you just get out and have a look?Just see if there’s anything on the road?”She held her breath. Would her plan work?

　　It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate. As soon as she was out of the vehicle，Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away，and soon she had put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.

　　It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her. Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity about the man. Pulling into the side of the road，Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.

　　It contained only one item——a small hand axe，with a razor-sharp blade. The axe and the inside of the bag were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood.

　　Andrea began to scream.

　　答案解析：

　　1. 【正确答案】A

　　【考点类型】因果细节判断

　　【解析过程】她容许搭车的人上车主要是因为 。

　　线索：文章的第1段提到“However，the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady.”表明答案A为正确选项。选项C文章提到了，但和本题的题干没有关系。B和D选项原文没有提到。

　　【考点提示】本篇文章是一篇短小的故事，这种题材的文章在同等学力的考试中很少会出现，所以同学们在复习的时候也不用太花时间。

　　2. 【正确答案】D

　　【考点类型】细节判断

　　【解析过程】当她看到这个老太太的时候，她害怕什么?

　　线索：文章的第一段提到“She studied the hat，the dirty collar of the dress，the shapeless body，the arms with their thick black hairs...Thick black hairs?Hairy arms?Andrea’s blood froze.”表明答案D为正确选项。其他几个选项虽然也在文章中提到了，但不是最终使她非常惊讶的原因。

　　3. 【正确答案】C

　　线索：文章的第4段提到“Then suddenly，an idea came into her racing，terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly，she threw the car into a skid(刹车)，and brought it to a halt.”表明她想到了一个办法，所以答案C为正确选项。A选项不正确的原因在于，文章虽然提到了她好像撞倒了一个孩子，但那只是她设计的一个陷阱，好把搭车的人骗出去，而并不是她停车的真正原因。

　　【考点提示】混淆选项有时设计成为对原文信息的错误判断，比如该题目就是这个样子。撞倒小孩在原文中看似是一个停车的原因，其实不是这个样子。字面的背后有它的真正含义。
