Question

 

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (獨木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.

試題分析：本文講述魯賓遜漂流記的節選，講他為了離開這個小島，不斷制作木舟，不斷的失敗，在此過程中學會如何生存，最后決定留在小島上，快樂的生活。

1.A 細節理解題。根據第一段During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape 在此期間我一起在思考逃跑的問題，所以選A項。

2. D 細節理解題。根據第四段提到I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals我學會用動物的皮做衣服。再根據最后一段提到I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields從羊身上取奶，在玉米地里工作，所以為了生存，做了以上三項，所以選D項。

3.B  細節理解題。根據第二段提到Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move.當然這個木舟太重，不能移動，推不動，所以沒有用它。因此B項符合題意。
