　　阅读理解(2017·辽宁省大连市高三双基测试)

　　Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.

　　Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

　　In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

　　Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30­year­old man.

　　Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”．He said，“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

　　The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

　　1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

　　(2017·海口市调研，C)

　　It was the summer of 1998 and I was trying to study hard for my engineering degree. I went up to the roof for a break and watched people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. They must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. From the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.

　　Without thinking, I held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.

　　Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I didn't think twice about trying to save them. When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. We put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.

　　Thirty minutes later, I began to feel a bit afraid and tired. Finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us there—we were a couple of miles from the shore.

　　I didn't feel like a hero. I'm sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的邻居救助两位被海浪冲离岸边的游泳者的故事。

　　A．A stranger asked the writer to call the lifeguards.

　　B．The writer was afraid and regretted the rescue.

　　2．Upon getting close to them, the writer found that the two people ________.

　　A．had been saved by others

　　B．were struggling in the sea

　　C．were dying

　　D．were crying for help loudly

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless.”可知，当作者和他的邻居到达溺水者身旁的时候，他们已经奄奄一息了。故答案选C。

　　A．people in need don't come first

　　B．they were too tired to swim back

　　C．waiting for help wasn't a choice

　　D．the lifeguards should make room for them
