3.I had been following the yellowish-green markers for a"popular and easy"three-mile out-and-back hike.Immediately after the trailhead(山道的起點),the trail became very rocky and steep.But having read information about the hike,I knew within five minutes,I was supposed to reach the hike's first overlook.
However,the overlook never arrived.Instead,I found myself lost in the woods.Pulling out my cellphone,I saw it read"no service".I checked the last text message I'd sent to my mom.It read,"Conference ended…going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon."I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling,"Help!Is anybody out there?"Every so often,I'd stop to listen,but I never heard a reply.
I got out my phone again.The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal.I struggled to find a place where I could get service.When I did,I called my mom.It went through!In a shaky voice,I said,"Mom?"And then the call dropped.More than 1,500 miles away,my mom instantly knew something was wrong.She called the Denver Police Department and was directed to the US Forest Service.
This was how I was introduced to John,an operator from the US Forest Service.Following John's instruction on the phone,I finally escaped from the woods.I breathed a sigh of relief.Then my phone rang,and it was John,making sure I was still going in the right direction."By the way,"he said,"we've had your mother on hold this whole time.We know once you get down the mountain,you will absolutely want to give her a call."

分析 本文介紹了作者一次遠足迷路遇險的經歷,作者在森林中迷路,好不容易打通了母親的電話,只說了一聲電話就斷了,但母親通過這一聲察覺到作者處于危險中,立刻報了警,最后作者在警察和美國林務局的幫助下終于走出了森林.
解答 24.B.推理判斷題.根據第一段But having read about the hike,I knew within five minutes,I was supposed to reach the hike's first overlook.可知,作者根據自己對遠足的學習,認為只需走很短的時間就可以進行第一次遠眺了,故作者肯定是繼續前進,選B.
25.C.細節理解題.根據第二段I checked the last text message I'd sent to my mom.It read,"Conference ended …going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon."可知,作者是開完會之后告訴他的媽媽的,故選C.
26.D.細節理解題.根據第三段It went through!In a shaky voice,I said,"Mom?"and then the all dropped.More than 1,500 miles away,my mom instantly knew something was wrong.可知,作者的媽媽雖遠隔千里,依然感覺到事情不對勁,可能是我打電話的時候說的那聲媽媽讓她感覺到了,故答案為D.
27.A.細節理解題.根據最后一段he said,"we've had your mother on hold this whole time.So once you get down the mountain,you will absolutely want to give her a call."可知,作者的媽媽一直和US Forest Service連線,一直在等作者的消息,故答案為A.
