Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and she chooses to live alone far away from people. She lives in Belize — a country the size of Wales with a population only that of Swansea. Her home is at Gales Point, a tiny village which can be reached only by sea or air: after a 10-mile walk into the hills,[32]one finally reaches a piece of land and two small houses so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there,[33]She lives happily and totally alone growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month or so an old friend passed by with her food supplies and letters — usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a local man will come and cut wood for her and[34]a group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee. At night she lies in her tiny sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in a corner of the bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough. But recently the very things she had tried to get free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the noise of earth moving machines not many miles away. What she once only heard of distantly on the radio is now on her doorstep. Things began to change three years ago. The new main north-south road in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away. "Now more and more people know I’m here, " she says, "1 feel more and more uneasy each day. "
32. What can we learn about Dorothea’s living place?
33. What does Dorothea spend a lot of her time doing?
34. Whom does Dorothea sometimes provide coffee for?
35. What makes Dorothea feel more and more uncomfortable?
选项
A、Her old friends.
B、Her sister from Canada.
C、Some British soldiers.
D、French broadcasters.
答案
C
解析
细节题。文中介绍说,有时候会有人来帮Dorothea砍树,还有一群英国士兵会遇到她,而她会用咖啡招待他们(be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee),故答案为[C]。
