Question

【題目】Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.

In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木)to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.

At last -- she never knew how long it had taken her- - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.

She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.

The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.

【1】What did Kate decide to do?

A. Stop the express train. B. Check the signal light.

C. Meet the passengers. D. Visit the station-master

【2】Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey

A. Fruitless. B. Boring.

C. Well-planned. D. Risky.

【3】Why did the station-master turn pale?

A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.

C. He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】試題分析：本文講述了橋壞了，Kate冒險去向火車站站長報告，阻止了火車前進，避免了一場車毀人亡的災(zāi)難。

【1】A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.可知，凱特決定自己去阻止快車。故選A。

【2】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.可知，如果她滑下去，她會落在枕木之間，掉進快速流動的小溪里，所以她的舉動是很冒險的。故選D。

【3】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.（他沖進車站大樓，并帶著一個信號燈回來了。當火車進站時，他揮了揮手中的紅燈。一秒鐘都不敢耽誤。）可知，他意識到了危險。故選B。

【學(xué)法指導(dǎo)】

【名師點撥】推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等標志性詞語。23.【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light.
