（8分）Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-venteen. The truck started on the cond try, and he backed out, 22．
shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading
south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.
Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpresd stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpo of the causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more riously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himlf.
Drives like this always put him into a ntimental mood. The dog was part of it. R obert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be—an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no clo friends.
He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksin
ger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehou of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.
His long abnces—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague n that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out. I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”
He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers wh en they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.
1、Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?
A．Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—Duluth
B．U.S. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—Duluth
C．U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth –Bellingham—Washington 11
D．Bellingham—Washington 11—U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth抖动现象
2、Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.玩棉袄吧
B．Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.
C．Kincaid ud to have a golden retriever.
D．Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.
3、Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?
A．To write “memory snapshots”
B．To remind himlf of places he might want to visit again.
C．To avoid forgetting the way back.
酱香大骨
D．To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.
4、What can you know about Marian?
A．She died after five years of marriage.
B．She was older than Kincaid.
C．She could sing very well and earned big money.
D．She was not a professional pop singer.
5、We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ________.
A．Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.
B．Kincaid thought his abnce would be a problem when he married Marian.
司马懿简介C．It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s abnce and left him.
D．After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.
23．（8分）When I moved to Senegal in 2007 to work for a charity organization, the first thing I did
was to hit the streets. Dakar, the capital, leans out into warm Atlantic wind. It has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it a favorite destination.
Not far from the city center, it also has one of Africa’s biggest slums(贫民区)and its share of beggars. Street kids would tail me, begging. During a previous trip to Senegal, I was once cheated by a man. I'd wondered for years whether to give money to beggars in West Africa.
Near my apartment, I pasd a group of young men in wheelchairs whom I took to be beggars. Head down, I walked by them quickly. As the months went by, I'd ofte n come across them. I’d often e them at an outdoor basketball court near my office. They’d sit on the ground with their chairs upside down, tightening and adjusting wheels, waiting until the other guys left so they could play.
I'd stay and watch them warm up. They played with speed, rolling down the court as fast as I could run. A few weeks later I introduced mylf to them with the help of Mafall, who was one of the guys and could speak a little French.
I started spending more time with them and eventually became something like an assistant coach.
