TraveIAcross Africa

For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook l'd bought in.a market in Mozambique.

Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations.The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in
Botswana.

And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room,.a kilometre from clean water.

As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye,
something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: "Look!  but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.

When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up, Sophia?"
 
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds. " .

"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"

"You were the one who was sleeping!"

"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take.

We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

16. Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案B

解析 从文章的第一句 For six hours we shot through the barren landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. 便可以知道这句话是错的，shot 是动词 shoot 的过去时形式，shoot through 用以表示开车，那显然车是开得很快的；而且，他们开过的沙漠是一片荒漠( barren landscape) ，并非是一个busy desert。

17. Sophia wrote about her experiences in notebooks.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 A

解析 第一段里就说她已经写了整整三个笔记本，并且开始写第四本了。

18. Daniel took photos of the Nile River.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 C

解析 文中讲到 Daniel 用相机记录他在非洲的所见所闻，但并没有提到他拍摄过尼罗河 (the Nile River) 。

19. Daniel and Sophia saw a lot of wonderful things.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 A

解析 从文章的第二、第三段可以看到他们两人在非洲看到了许多。

20. While driving Daniel and Sophia saw wild horses.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 B

解析 实际上 Sophia 在开车，Daniel 则在睡觉，所以并非两人都看到了野马。

21. The horses didn't come near the car.

A； Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案B

解析 文中说到And as I drove，something caught my eye. something moving close enough to touch them，to smell their hot breath. 很显然，野马一度离他们的车很近，只是后来才渐渐远离了。

22. Sophia woke Daniel up so that he could take photos of the horses.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 B

解析 Daniel 是在 Sophia 看到野马一小时后自己醒来的—— When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened. 并不是让Sophia 唤醒的。
