It took a week,but I soon found myself interacting with people around me.Foreign residents and locals all went out of their way to make me feel comfortable.The more comfortable I felt,the more we explored.We went hiking,we joined the board game community,and we enjoyed the local cuisine. Three months later when it was time to leave,I found myself reluctant to say goodbye to the warmth of the country I had called home for a short while.I think that my time in Brunei taught me a valuable lesson:Don't judge a place by what others say or a lack of information.Sure,you may not always like what you see,but there will always be something that you will like.You just need to look hard enough to find it!(1)Why did the author go to Brunei? ____ A.To give birth to a baby.B.To escape the busy life in India.C.To keep her husband company.D.To prove she loved the country.(2)What can we infer from Paragraph 3? ____ A.Brunei is a beautiful country.B.Attractions in Brunei were appealing.C.The author's husband loved traveling.D.The author showed little interest in Brunei.(3)What does the underlined word"reluctant" in the last paragraph probably mean? ____ A.Pleased.B.Unwilling.C.Impatient.D.Courageous.(4)What does the author intend to convey in the text? ____ A.Travel with an open mind.B.Do love our own country.C.Experience what is impossible.D.Choose the right place to travel to.

题目解答
答案
(1)细节理解题。根据第二段中Either stay with him in Brunei for three months before returning back to India or remain in India,alone.I chose the former.Not because of my love for the country but because I wanted to be close to him.(要么和他一起在文莱待三个月,然后返回印度,要么独自留在印度。我选择了前者。不是因为我爱这个国家,而是因为我想和他亲近。)可知,作者想和丈夫亲近,所以作者想去文莱陪丈夫。故选C。
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段中的Brunei had never held any appeal to me.Whatever research that I pulled off the Internet showed me nothing other than one beautiful mosque (清真寺).The flights in and out of the country were expensive so traveling frequently out was not an option either.I was drowned by a sense of being trapped in a remote place.(文莱对我从来没有什么吸引力。不管我从网上查到什么,除了一座美丽的清真寺,我什么也没看到。进出这个国家的航班很贵,所以经常出国旅行也不是一个选择。我被一种被困在遥远地方的感觉淹没了。)可推断,作者当时不太喜欢文莱。故选D。
(3)词句猜测题。根据第四段中的The more comfortable I felt,the more we explored.We went hiking,we joined the board game community,and we enjoyed the local cuisine.(我感觉越舒服,我们探索得就越多。我们去远足,我们加入了棋盘游戏社区,我们享受了当地的美食。)和划线词后半句to say goodbye to the warmth of the country I had called home for a short while.(告别这个我称之为家的温暖的国家。)可知,作者爱上了文莱这个地方,不愿意和文莱说再见。所以reluctant为"不情愿的"之意。结合选项A.Pleased高兴的;B.Unwilling不情愿的;C.Impatient没有耐心的;D.Courageous勇敢的。故选B。
(4)推理判断题。根据最后一段中Don't judge a place by what others say or a lack of information.Sure,you may not always like what you see,but there will always be something that you will like.You just need to look hard enough to find it !(不要根据别人的说法或缺乏信息来判断一个地方。当然,你可能并不总是喜欢你所看到的,但总会有一些你会喜欢的东西。你只需要努力寻找就可以找到它! )可判断,作者想告诉我们要以开放的心态去旅行。故选A。
