Question

【题目】 It was a perfect June day. My family and I decided to go whitewater rafting (急流泛舟). My father decided to bring us to go without a guide at this new, hard situation. Mom and I were upset by my dad’s decision, but my brother was pleased with it. Then we took a bus to the icy cold water. Having received the training, we began our own rafting.

Within the first hour, we got stuck on two rocks. Another raft had to hit ours to get us off the rocks. After about two hours, we saw a huge rock on the right side of the river. It was coming out of the water about ten feet high and about fifteen feet wide. Somehow, we ended up on top of this rock. Then water started rushing towards my brother. When he started falling into the water, I tried to pull him back. Unfortunately, we fell off together. My mother jumped in after us, but she could only get to my brother. My dad jumped onto the bank of the river to see where I was. At that moment I was picked up by a man in another raft. I kept crying. Thankfully, everyone was fine.

When we got back in our raft, we had only two paddles for four people. We all knew it was going to take long to get to the end. One of the guides for another raft told us that there was an earlier place we could get out, but we had to carry our raft and walked for a mile. At that point, no one really cared if we had to do anything after we got out of the water. We finally got to the ending point, wet and cold.

To this day, I have never felt so cold in my life. I have not been rafting again. All of this happened because my dad did not hire a guide.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和家人一起经历的一次漂流的经过，由于父亲没有请向导，一家人的漂流不是很顺利，兄弟两个前后落水，船桨也遗失了，最终艰难地回到终点。经过了这次艰难的漂流，作者再也没有进行漂流。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“Mom and I were upset by my dad’s decision, but my brother was pleased with it.”妈妈和我对我爸爸的决定很难过，但我哥哥对此很满意。Encouraging.形容词，令人鼓舞的；Fantastic形容词，极好的；Wise形容词，明智的；Awful形容词，糟糕的。根据句意，可知我和妈妈对爸爸的决定感到难过，不同意，故awful符合语境。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。his father他爸爸；his mother他妈妈；a stranger一个陌生人；a guide一个向导。根据第二段“At that moment I was picked up by a man in another raft.”在那一刻，我被另一只筏子上的一个人抱起。可知作者掉到河里以后，是被一个陌生人救起来。故选C。

【3】词句猜测题。根据第三段“At that point, no one really cared if we had to do anything after we got out of the water. We finally got to the ending point, wet and cold.”在那个时候，没有人真正关心我们离开水后是否不得不做任何事情。我们终于到了终点，又湿又冷。推断可知一家人想要尽快从水里出来。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。根据第一段“My family and I decided to go whitewater rafting.”我和我的家人决定去激流漂流。可知本文主要讲述全家人漂流的经历。故选D。
