2023年專升本英語閱讀理解練習(3.21)

　　I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people looking at me and thinking I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.

　　One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I'm awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward, only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(路燈柱). This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.

　　Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.

　　But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go away. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.

　　問題：

　　1.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ____.

　　A.she might be recognized

　　B.asking for help looked silly

　　C.she was normal and independent

　　D.being found blind was embarrassing

　　【參考答案】D

　　[考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】D 根據(jù)第一段前三句“I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known…and I couldn't bear people looking at me and thinking I was not like them.”可推知，這個女孩兒拒絕尋求幫助是因為她認為被別人發(fā)現(xiàn)她是盲人會很尷尬。故選D。

　　2.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she ____ .

　　A.began to run

　　B.hit a person as usual

　　C.hit a lamppost by accident

　　D.was caught by something

　　【參考答案】C

　　[考點]事實細節(jié)題

　　【精析】C 根據(jù)第二段前三句“One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something…I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.”可知，這個盲人女孩兒晚上下了公共汽車之后意外地撞到一個東西，再三道歉之后才發(fā)現(xiàn)她撞到的是路燈柱，所以C項正確。故選C。

　　3.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?

　　A.Other vehicles didn't stop there.

　　B.It was unreliable for making the judgment.

　　C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.

　　D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.

　　【參考答案】B

　　[考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】B 根據(jù)第三段第二句“Sometimes I would stop a big lorry…”可知，這個女孩兒憑借猜車輛的聲音攔車，有時候會攔錯車。由此可推知，憑聲音做出的判斷是不可靠的。故選B。

　　4.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping ____.

　　A.to find people there

　　B.to find more buses there

　　C.to find the bus by herself there

　　D.to find her white stick

　　【參考答案】A

　　[考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】A根據(jù)第三段最后一句“In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.”可知，通常這個盲人女孩兒到最后會放下自尊請在車站等車的人幫她。且根據(jù)最后一段可知，那天晚上招呼站除了她沒有別人，她沒有攔車，因為她不想因攔錯車而使自己丟臉，于是在等了半個小時后，她決定走到下一站。由此可推知，她去下一站的目的是尋找能幫她忙的人，而不是自己親自去找公共汽車，A項正確，B、C兩項錯誤。根據(jù)第一段第二句“I refused to use a white stick…”可知，這個盲人女孩兒從不使用白色手杖，所以D項錯誤。故選A。

　　5.At the request stop that evening, the girl ____ .

　　A.stopped a big lorry

　　B.stopped the wrong bus

　　C.made no attempt to stop the bus

　　D.was noticed by other people

　　【參考答案】C

　　[考點]事實細節(jié)題

　　【精析】C 根據(jù)最后一段第三句“But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go away.”可知，因為這個盲人女孩兒怕出洋相而沒有去攔公共汽車，所以就讓它們都開走了，因此C項正確。A、B兩項是這個女孩兒通常會遇到的情況，并不是那晚發(fā)生的事情，故可排除;根據(jù)最后一段第一句“But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.”可知，在這個特別的夜晚，沒有人和這個女孩兒一起在車站等車，所以不會有別人注意到她，D項與原文不符。故選C。
