Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end—with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. " Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. " " Drink Root Beer. " " Fill up with Pacific Gas. " Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of " You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’ s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story.
Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’ s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. [br] The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are______.
选项
A、exciting
B、comfortable
C、tiring
D、boring
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据文章第二段第一句话可知,旅程的开始是舒适的,还有点令人兴奋。根据最后一段第二句话可知,你知道它很快就会结束,因此在这个过程中会有种期望和兴奋。在长途旅行的开头和结尾都很让人兴奋。选项B(舒服的)、选项C(令人疲惫的)和选项D(无聊的)均不符合题意。故本题选A。
