Question

【题目】What a(n) ________ to a dream vacation!

It was 10:30 p.m. by the time Jason opened his hotel room door. He was finally in Hawaii! His hotel was right on the beach on the beautiful island of Kauai. He’d read about the “Garden Isle”. He couldn’t wait to see its green mountains, white sand beaches and tropical forests. He dropped his bag near the bed and set his wallet and cell phone on the desk. He could hear the sound of the waves right outside. He opened the sliding glass door and stepped out onto the balcony(阳台). He wanted to feel the ocean wind and breathe the warm, fresh night air. He closed the door behind him to keep the bugs(虫子) out of his room. Several minutes later, Jason pulled on the door. It didn’t move an inch. He pulled and pulled on the door, but it still didn’t move. Jason was about to be afraid when he found he had locked himself out of his room.

Jason looked down. The ground was about 20 meters below him. There was no way he could jump and live to tell about it. He stood against the railing(栏杆) and looked around. He saw a light in the room to the right. Maybe he could jump over to that balcony. “No,” he thought. “Too dangerous.” He started shouting, “Hello, hello!” No answer. He shouted louder. Still nothing. Finally, he started to sing loudly and off-key. He heard the sound of a sliding door. A voice started to say, “What …” Jason stood against the railing and said at once, “I’m so sorry! But I’m locked out of my room. Can you call the front desk? Tell them the guy in 645 is stuck on his balcony.” His neighbor promised he would right away.

It was eleven when Jason was finally back in his room and filled with luck. From then on, he promised to himself, “I’ll keep my cell phone with me.”

【解析】本文介绍了作者的一个梦幻假期——夏威夷之旅。在文中介绍了夏威夷的风景和作者的感受。由于过度的兴奋，结果把自己反锁在门外的故事。

【1】细节理解题。A. worried“担忧的”； B. tired“累的”；C. excited“兴奋地”；D. encouraged“鼓励的”。由短文的句子：他迫不及待地想看到它的青山、白沙滩和热带森林。可知，作者到了夏威夷特别的兴奋。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。由句子“It was 10:30 p.m. by the time Jason opened his hotel room door.”和句子“Tell them the guy in 645 is stuck on his balcony.”可知，Jason went into hotel Room 645. 杰森走进的旅馆房间号是645。因此d是第一；由句子“He opened the sliding glass door and stepped out onto the balcony(阳台).”可知，接下来他打开滑动的玻璃门，走到阳台上。因此a是第二；再由句子“He pulled and pulled on the door, but it still didn’t move.”可知，拉了拉门，但它仍然没有动。根据短文内容可知b是第三；由句子“Jason was about to be afraid when he found he had locked himself out of his room.”可知，杰森发现自己把自己锁在房间外面时，害怕了。为第四。综合以上的分析可知B正确。

【3】细节理解题。由句子“He heard the sound of a sliding door.”可知，他听到了拉门的声音。作者开始大声唱歌和走调。就是为了引起别人的注意。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。由句子“The ground was about 20 meters below him.”可知，他离地面大约20米高。往下跳很危险。在由句子“Maybe he could jump over to that balcony. “No,” he thought. “Too dangerous.”可知，也许他可以跳到那个阳台上去。“不，”他想。“太危险了。””综上所述A正确。

【5】主旨大意题。A. gift “礼物”；B. start “开始”；C. end “结束”；D. plan“计划”。B项：一个梦幻假期的开始！符合文意。故选B。
