Question

Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.

       As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.

       As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.

Answer 1

【小题1】B

【小题2】B

【小题3】B

【小题4】C

解析:

【小题1】综合推理题。整篇文章向我们介绍了作者如何穿越山谷的探险经历。A，C，D三项只是在他旅途过程中的小插曲，并不是他探险的最终目的，所以应排除。

【小题2】句意理解题。答案见第二段最后一句。

【小题3】细节理解题。由最后一段倒数第三句可知道那两个人开始听到了老虎的声音，后来觉得声音近了，但是他们始终没有看见老虎。

【小题4】内容排序题。文章第一段提到了穿越灌木丛，然后走到山谷，在山谷中发现鸟蛋，然后又听到老虎的叫声，所以正确的顺序应是“bushes”、“valley”和“find eggs”，最后是“hear the sound of tiger”。
