TraveIAcross Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren (荒蕪的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook l'd bought in.a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations.The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in
Botswana.
And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room,.a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye,
something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up, Sophia?"
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds. " .
"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"
"You were the one who was sleeping!"
"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take.
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
16. Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案B
解析 從文章的第一句 For six hours we shot through the barren landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. 便可以知道這句話是錯的,shot 是動詞 shoot 的過去時形式,shoot through 用以表示開車,那顯然車是開得很快的;而且,他們開過的沙漠是一片荒漠( barren landscape) ,并非是一個busy desert。
17. Sophia wrote about her experiences in notebooks.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案 A
解析 第一段里就說她已經寫了整整三個筆記本,并且開始寫第四本了。
18. Daniel took photos of the Nile River.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案 C
解析 文中講到 Daniel 用相機記錄他在非洲的所見所聞,但并沒有提到他拍攝過尼羅河 (the Nile River) 。
19. Daniel and Sophia saw a lot of wonderful things.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案 A

20. While driving Daniel and Sophia saw wild horses.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案 B
解析 實際上 Sophia 在開車,Daniel 則在睡覺,所以并非兩人都看到了野馬。
21. The horses didn't come near the car.
A; Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
答案B
解析 文中說到And as I drove,something caught my eye. something moving close enough to touch them,to smell their hot breath. 很顯然,野馬一度離他們的車很近,只是后來才漸漸遠離了。
22. Sophia woke Daniel up so that he could take photos of the horses.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
