　　(2017·南京模拟)

　　In winter Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.

　　I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Also, I had longed to experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush(融雪)of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.

　　Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a cab and had to drag my over-weighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller’s cheques to pay the overcharged 1, 200-kroner bus fare—they simply could not understand that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller’s cheques were both me-and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.

　　“This isn’t happening, ”I said. “There must be some mistake. Please look again”.

　　The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here. ”But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom”.

　　“No, ”the girl decided, “that says Bemt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name. ”

　　“It doesn’t say Bemt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop(圆圈)of the ‘y’, the two ‘l’ s. Miss, please. ”But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus when does the next one go? ”

　　“Next week at the same time. ”

　　“Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson. ”

　　“No, it doesn’t. ”

　　“Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life. ”She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager. ”

　　“He’s in Stavanger. ”

　　“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects(前景)for the rest of this century. ”This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bemt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have his seat? ”

　　“Sure. ”

　　Why don’t I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? “Thank you, ”I said, and dragged my bag outside.

　　【文章大意】哈默菲斯特是欧洲最北边的城镇。从奥斯陆到哈默菲斯特乘车需要30个小时。从11月太阳落山, 哈默菲斯特有十个周见不到阳光。作者记述了去哈默菲斯特的旅途经历。

　　【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据作者和车站女售票员之间的对话, 与文章的倒数第三段内容相符, 尤其是该段的最后一句“如果这个Bemt Bjornson不来, 我可以坐他的座位吗? ”可知作者很想上车。

　　3. According to the last paragraph, the author probably felt ________ at that moment.

　　A. embarrassed B. contented

　　C. regretful

　　D. grateful

　　【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段的Why don’t I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? 可知, 作者后悔和售票员之间的争执。

　　4. We can learn from the passage that ________ .

　　A. the author’s journey to the north was not worthwhile

　　B. the Europeans didn’t welcome visitors

　　C. the author wrote a letter to the girl’s manager

　　D. the author’s journey to the north was not smooth

　　【解析】选D。推理判断题。作者去哈默菲斯特的途中, 先是睡过了头, 银行兑换支票大费周折, 车站乘车又遇麻烦。尤其是第三段的第一句: Things had not started well. 可知, 旅行不顺利。

　　【技法导练】

　　阅读理解——借助关键句、段进行推理判断

　　此类试题的解答需要对较多信息进行阅读和推理, 因此, 解题时应认真阅读试题题干, 回到原文找到与题目有逻辑关系的关键句或关键段, 并借助其进行推理判断, 看与哪一个备选项的内容在意义与逻辑上吻合。以第2题为例: A项与文中第二段的Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky吻合, 可知作者是英国人, 不可能以挪威人的名字预订车票。B项与第三段的cash sufficient traveller’s cheques to pay the overcharged 1, 200-kroner bus fare内容不符, 作者用现金买的车票; C项与文章的倒数第三段内容相符, 尤其是该段的最后一句“如果这个Bemt Bjornson不来, 我可以坐他的座位吗? ”可知作者很想上车; D项与倒数第三段的“If I don’t get on this bus I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century. ”This clearly did not alarm her. 不符, 她根本不在乎作者的抱怨。
