Mr. Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot(行李箱). Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠)at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding(打滑)on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to e in only slowly, ”Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and I dared not open the windows because I knew water would e flooding in. ”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. ”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳手)and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. ”His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates.

Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis.Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so. They even have their specific seats so well-worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides.There is no doubt about it. Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life a sweaty life in summer where people, blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes. At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train, most people feel they are reborn.During the rains you cant avoid getting wet or muddied. The windows, almost always, are not a perfect fit and if youre not drenched by a sudden, heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle.Rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones. Since there are so many that look alike, its impossible to tell whose is whose.Winter is the time when it feels good or at least warm to be part of a crowd. It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a 100 or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside. Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats, its fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats.The cold winter passes, making way for spring. It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly. And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train.Now, wouldnt it be perfect if we had a public transport worth the name in all our cities?6. On Indian public transport, you can always expect to see people _.A. sleeping and reading newspapersB. arguing and playing gamesC. enjoying the view and playing cardsD. carrying umbrellas and whispering politely7. According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed during summer travelling?A. The cool evening breeze.B. The rain pouring over their clothes.C. The joy of a game of cards.D. The sweet fragrance of a new passenger.8. If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily, you are probably travelling during the _. A. summerB. rainy seasonsC. winterD. spring9. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Indian people dont mind switching umbrellas with others B. almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go outC. the buses and trains are old and in poor conditionsD. Indian transport is the most crowded in the world10. What is the tune of language used in this passage?A. Humourous. B. Critical. C. Frightening. D. Concerned.【参考答案】610、ADCCA 完形填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。 The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets.
