It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 1 I was going
along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salisbury.
I was going along 2 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a 3 scream-
" Help!" I looked round, but the only 4 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking (可疑的) car
just 5 a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I 6 speed
and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw 7 me. As
I drew near, the girl"s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with 8 .
"Let me go, you coward; you"re hurting me. Oh! Oh!"
I felt my 9 boil. The fog was coming down 10 now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no 11
that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
"Drop that knife, you fool. Oh!" Then a cry and a groan (***).
If I was to save her, it was now or 12 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn"t save the girl,
I would at least try to bring the murderer to 13 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the
bike right across its 14 , and its brakes (煞车) screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and 15 into the
ditch (沟) at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow
stepped out.
"You fool!" he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was 16 than he. I put
all I could into 17 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It 18 him right on the point of the chin; his 19
slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car, 20 open the door
and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice. "You have been
listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow
immediately." |

customs inspector (检查员). If a person brings in goods of great value, the inspector may ask him to pay
taxes on them. Some people try to hide the valuables they have with them so that they will not have to pay
these taxes. But customs inspectors are hard to fool.
Inspector Joseph Koehler has worked for the US Customs Service for years. One day a group of
passengers arrived on a flight from Belgium.
Koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. At first he did not know what made him
pick her out of them ― the woman"s baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. She showed no sign
of fear when Koehler opened them. Yet Koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly he knew what it was. The woman was too tall. This woman"s height didn"t seem right somehow.
Then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.
The inspector opened them. A handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. More jewels were found under a
false bottom in one of her suitcases. Their total weight was 3,387 carats. It was one of the largest diamond
hauls (缴获) ever made by the US Customs. | | 1. From the passage, we can know that Joseph Koehler _____. | A. only asked the women passengers to pay taxes on the valuable goods

passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:
where the jungle did not actually spread down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.
In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous
creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one"s way with
knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman
would pick us up and take us to civilization.
We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat
everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy
the experience: perhaps sea-fish which don"t live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back
and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice
cream was a particularly frequent dream.
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the
water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things
as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result. One day we passed
another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:
we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again. | | 1. The only thing that they could see in the boat was _______. | A. chains of hills
B. high walls
C. vast land
D. tall trees | | 2. They were prevented from landing because they could not _______. | A. find the place marked on the map
B. go through the thick forest
C. go across the soft mud
D. see the plains | | 3. This passage is mainly about ______. | A. the problem of landing
B. a terrible experience
C. walls of forest
D. the fishermen"s worries | | 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? | A. The author and his partners were trapped during scientific exploration.
B. They were floating on a small boat in the jungle without help.
C. The dirty water they drank didn"t threaten their lives.
D. They had no food or drinking water prepared. | 最新试题
