【广西桂林市桂林中学2017届高三8月月考】
Vancouver. B.C.—For six months. Ted Schredd and Deanna Kopel cycled around North America to show others a way to help the environment. “Nobody wants to breathe dirty air—but for the air to change. People have to stop driving cars,” says Ted, “If more people start riding bikes, the air will be cleaner.”
Ted started his trip alone. He had $ 160 in his pocket and plans to cycle around
North America. He left his hometown of Vancouver, and when he arrived in San Diego he got the chance to make some extra money for the rest of his 13, 000 km trip. A cyclist he met asked him to speak at an environment meeting in Texas. Within a few hours, Ted was on a plane to the meeting and a big surprise.
When he met Deanna at the meeting, they talked for six hours straight. It was
love at first sight. The next day, he called her to ask if she wanted to finish the trip with him. She said yes, sold everything in her flat, gave her notice at work, and was on the road with Ted three weeks later.
Deanna found Ted’s timetable difficult because he got up early in the morning.
Deanna was a nurse and usually worked at night. “All of a sudden, I was up at six when I wanted to sleep until noon,” said Deanna.
As the couple cycled to Florida and up to Montreal and then back to Vancouver,
every day was an adventure. They got free meals in restaurants, and slept in people’s yards. When they ran out of money, people gave them extra cash. Sometimes people gave away $50 or $100.
And like all good stories this one has a happy ending. On the way back to Vancouver,
they stopped in Edmonton to visit Ted’s relatives. During the visit, they got married. People tied ten cans and a “Just Married” sign to the back of their bikes.
They now want to write a book about their trip. “We want people to know that
you can protect our earth and still have fun,” Schredd said.
34. What did Ted Schredd believe to be a way to protect the environment?
A. Driving less.
B. Breathing clean air.
D. Staying healthy by cycling.
C. Saving waste tin cans.
35. Why did Ted speak at an environmental meeting?
A. He could get a big surprise.
B. He was in the city of the
meeting.
C. He hoped to find someone to help him.
D. He wanted more people to know more about his opinion. 36. What difficulty did Deanna meet after starting the trip with Ted?
A. Getting free meals in restaurant.
B. Sleeping in people’s
yards.
C. Getting up very early.
D. Missing her friends.
37. In what way does the story have a happy ending for Ted and Deanna?
A. They got married during their trip.
B. They got together with their
relatives.
C. They became very famous in America.
D. They wrote a book about their
experience.
36.C 考查细节理解题。根据第三段提到Deanna found Ted’s timetable difficult because he got up early in the morning可知要起很早，故选C项。
37.A 考查推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知And like all good stories this one has a happy ending. On the way back to Vancouver, they stopped in Edmonton to visit Ted’s relatives. During the visit, they got married.他们有了幸福的结局就是两个人结婚了，故选A项。 考点：环保类阅读。
