    To hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him.To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers.A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, a student his scarf.In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver’s attention.
    When I hitch-hiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella.My suitcase was decorated with British flags.Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者).I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
    But even with careful preparation, you must not assume(认为) that the task will be easy.You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to(承认) a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of), hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London.In America, my average wait was half-an-hour, and my longest two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day; they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.
    Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people.On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi.There are also lesser(较小的) risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver.You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car.But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
    If the hitch-hiker in the U.S.will remember that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West.It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.
    71.A hitch-hiking serviceman should wear his uniform      .
    A.so as not to look too unusual              B.to attract attention
    C.to show he is on duty                    D.to put the driver at ease
    72.In paragraph 3, we learn that the writer     .
    A.has sometimes failed to hitch a ride
    B.has marched from Aldermaston to London
    C.has always been successful in hitching a ride
    D.has had to wait for long hours for a ridew
    73.The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that      .
    A.it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers
    B.hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimes
    C.a hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excuse
    D.hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers
    74.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should     .
    A.not talk to the driver too much
    B.fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride
    C.try to make himself pleasant and entertaining
    D.seek the willingness of drivers
    75.A suitable title for the passage would be     .
    A.“The Art of Hitch-hiking”      B.“An Englishman’s View of the U.S.”
    C.“An English Hitch-hiker”        D.“The joys and Dangers of hitch-hiking

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
