Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS to1d them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However，being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped m two metres of water —to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．

Yuzu Noda，21，said she was listening to the GPS and“it told us we could drive down there．It kept saying it would navigate(導(dǎo)航)US to a road．But we got stuck…there's lots of mud”．She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki，22，and Keita Osada，21,instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊車)driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car，though—after assessing the situation，no attempt was made to recover it．The students from Tokyo，who are due to return home tomorrow，said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. Mr·Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny．”

The car was covered by insurance，but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges．

1.Why did the three Japanese tourists get stuck?

A．There was no way to the island．

B．Their GPS had given the wrong information．

C．Their GPS was broken during their journey．

D．Their car was not made in Japan．

2.What did the tourists abandon their car?

3.How did these Japanese students get back?

B．They had to repair their GPS and drove back．

C．They had to turn to passengers on boats and ferries．

D．They had to take a lift from the tow truck driver．

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年福建師大附中高一下期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：聽力第三部分

My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.

It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people.

During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.

When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.

The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.

1.During the trip, the author’s son ______.

A. didn’t have enough sleep

B. ran out of money

C. forgot to call his mother

D. failed to take good pictures

2.According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son?

A. Polite and careless.

B. Considerate and independent.

C. Creative and stubborn.

D. Self-centered and adventurous.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.

B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.

C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.

D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.

B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

C. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.

D. It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
