How did Douglas feel when he booked the weekend? [br]
You will hear a radio interview about a mountain-climbing weekend. For questions 6 to 10, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
W(Interviewer): My guest today is Douglas Turner, who recently spent a weekend climbing a mountain in Africa. Douglas, how did this come about?
Douglas: Well, I suppose it started with my seeing adverts for activity holidays in the national press week after week: it somehow got into my subconscious. Then there was one which said, ’ Are you ready for the greatest physical challenge of your life? Five thousand metres in one weekend,’ and somewhat against my better judgement, I found myself picking up the phone straight away. You see, I simply hadn’ t trained for it. The nearest I’d got was a bit of hill-walking five years ago.
W: What did you think you would get out of the weekend?
Douglas: Generally when I go to things, I enjoy meeting people, but in this case I was afraid the rest of the group would be a bunch of healthy types, and I wouldn’ t have much in common with them. And as for the physical effort of climbing the mountain, I thought I’ d be lucky if I survived the weekend at all! It was more a kind of wanting to see what I was mentally capable of doing, whether I would get cold feet and not go at all, or go, but give up halfway.
W: But you made it to the top.
Douglas: Yes, I did. Much to my surprise, I can tell you.
W: Were you right about the other people?
Douglas: No, actually. There were a few serious walkers and climbers, but most of the participants were professional people who wanted to do something quite different for once, more or less like me, in fact. So not intimidating after all. Though I have to admit that nearly all of them were fitter than me. Actually, I hadn’ t realised so many people did this sort of thing.
W: How did you all get on together?
Douglas: I suppose we were a bit suspicious of each other at first, but that soon went, and we somehow developed a really close group feeling. Nobody complained about having to wait for the slow ones, which usually included me. Or at least, if they did complain, they did it out of earshot. In fact, on the flight home we were busy exchanging cards and decided to book another weekend trip as a party—but without a mountain in sight this time.
W: So how did the weekend compare with your expectations?
Douglas: It was much better than I’ d expected. It made me change, in subtle ways. As I’ d hoped, I learned something about myself, and I learnt to get on with people I couldn’ t escape from, but I also became much more observant, of the tiny little wild flowers, for instance, and that was quite a bonus.
W: I suppose you’ re going to be a regular mountain climber now.
Douglas: I’ rn keeping the pair of boots I wore, with the mud still on them, on my desk at work. They’ re a kind of trophy, to prove to myself that I did it. But I somehow don’ t think I’ ll be using them again. I’ m going to have to put them somewhere less visible, though, because it’ s sometimes a bit embarrassing when other people are impressed.
W: Douglas Turner, thank you very much.
Douglas: Thank you.
选项
A、Send each other postcards.
B、Take a different sort of trip together.
C、Go on another climbing trip together.
答案
B
解析
关于与Douglas同行的人,Douglas提到“In fact,on the flight home we were busy exchan—ging cards and decided to book another weekend trip as a party—but without a mountain insight this time.”(事实上,在回家的飞机上我们忙着交换名片,同时决定进行另外一次周末之旅,但是这次就是看不到山的旅行了),由此可知,Douglas和其他参与者决定旅行结束后一起进行另外一种形式的旅行,故选B。
