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." |

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.

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. |
