A trip to London
My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time．Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend．
We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7：34 train to Liverpool Street Station．Then my wife and I would separate from Joan，my wife's sister，to do different things and finally meet again for lunch．And after lunch，we would go to the concert．
But we were late because of a thick London fog．The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10：30 that it got there．In spite of our late arrival，Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping．It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn't decided where we should meet for lunch．Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket，this was indeed a problem．We didn't have any mobile phones at that time．There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London，and try to find her there．Needless to say，we didn't find her．
It was now one o'clock，and the concert began at 2：30． "Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall，" said my wife hopefully．By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop，and the only way to get there was by subway．Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be．An hour later we were still trying to find it．Just when I was about to become angry，we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog．With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road．
By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2：30，so we decided to return to Cambridge．It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey．Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train．We were tired and hungry．
We finally reached home at ten．Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home；she had seen the Crown Jewels，had managed to get another ticket for concert，and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant．Of course，she managed to get home，too．Oh my god!

1．For several days Ⅰ（Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah，you are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消） your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly， "Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."
（1）Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5？
A．Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.

3．My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours．My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip．
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook．This could be the answer to my problem，I thought．So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag．When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach，my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats．But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen．
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly．Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip．I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach．We arrived just behind the power crews restoring（恢復(fù)）electricity after a tropical storm．The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm．When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip．He answered without hesitation，"The book you read in the car． "
Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers．But we continue to read as we roll across the country．And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time．For at least a little while，we are not shut in our own electronic worlds．And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation．
（1）Why did the author start reading in the car？
A．She wanted to have a better journey．
B．She wanted to keep a family tradition．
C．Her children were addicted to reading．
D．Her children were tired of the cassette．
（2）How did the children react after the author read a few lines？
A．They kept fighting．
B．They hid themselves．
C．They soon settled down．
D．They read together aloud．
（3）What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach？
A．They were caught in a storm．
B．They enjoyed reading on the road．
C．They had a good time on the beach．
D．They thought it had passed too quickly．
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？
A．Better Traveling than Reading
B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges
D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips發(fā)布：2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷：0引用：1難度：0.7
