Question

“We leave at dawn and head out overland by jeep towards Base One．We’ll get as far as we can before proceeding on foot,”Mark explained．The others sat and listened．Sarah, particularly, as a“casualty of events”, wouldn’t have known what to say or suggest even if she'd been asked．But Harry had a lot to say． 　　“We’ll never make it,”he protested．“We'll still be crossing the desert when they catch up with us．They’ll know where we’re heading for and they’ll simply follow us and kill us out there in the desert with no one to see．They seem to know every move we make or are going to make．” 　　Mark said nothing, but spread his hands out as if to say“Well, what do we do then?”“We wouldn’t be in this mess now,”Harry went on, almost ignoring Mark’s gesture, “ if we hadn’t stopped to rescue Sarah．”(He glanced at her briefly．)“But since we did, we must got on-but not across the desert．There's the sand, and deep ravine(沟壑)which are almost invisible until you’re right on them－and then the heat．You have to be used to going out there, and none of us is．This is no “morning at leisure”on some pleasant holiday, you know!If we went north instead and made for the river,… 　　He broke off and looked around at the others, feeling somehow that his argument was pointless．No one said anything． 　　“Good,”said Mark, looking around with authority, and returned to checking their stores． 　　A beautiful sunrise was about to burst over the horizon as the jeep headed out towards Base One． (1) It seems clear from the passage that the group of people were ________． [　　] A． being trained B． being hunted C． on holiday D． on a trip (2) Mark’s plan was that they should ________． [　　] A． drive across the desert B． make for the river on foot C． set off before dawn and leave Sarah D． drive as far as possible, and then walk (3) Harry felt certain that ________． [　　] A． they would be able to escape B． they had a traitor C． their situation was all Sarah's fault D． they could hide in the desert (4) Why did Harry think that they should make for the river?

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．D;3．C;4．C;5．B;
解析：

(1)	根据第二段They’ll know where we’re heading for and they'll simply follow us and kill us out there in the desert with no one to see．可知他们在被追杀。
(2)	根据第一段We’ll get as far as we can before proceeding on foot可知。
(3)	根据第三段We wouldn’t be in this mess now, “ Harry went on, almost ignoring Mark’s gesture, ” if we hadn’t stopped to rescue Sarah．"可知。
(4)	根据第三段There’s the sand, and deep ravines(沟壑)which are almost invisible until you’re right on them－and then the heat．You have to be used to going out there, and none of us is．This is no“morning at leisure”on some pleasant holiday，可知。
(5)	从第五段“Good,”said Mark, looking around with authority以及文章开头Mark的计划可知Mark是他们的领导。
