I rode for hours along dirt trails. I had to keep <br />a close watch on the gas tank because there were no gas stations anywhere except <br />at the village where I had rented the motorcycle. At half a tank, I had no choice <br />but to turn back. The needle had just hit halfway and I was turning around to <br />head back when I noticed an old tomb in the distance, far away from any village or <br />other sign of habitation. I decided to stretch my legs before beginning the long <br />trip home. I rode to the gate, killed the engine and laid the bike down. As I passed <br />through iron gate, I couldn't help but notice how silent the place was. I had to <br />whistle to reassure（消除疑虑） myself that I hadn't gone deaf. When I walked <br />to the rear edge of an old tomb in the distance, an unusual sight caught my eye --- <br />a tomb that was twice as large as any of the others. When I looked inside the cabinet, <br />I found out why. There was a photograph of a young couple with their arms around <br />each other, laughing. The date of their deaths in the stone, were identical. <br />Apparently, they were married and had died together in some kind of an accident. <br />I can't relate all the feelings I had while looking at that picture of them together, <br />bursting with youthful energy, their eager smiles full of excitement and <br />anticipation (希望)of their lives together. A white marble cross that marked their <br />graves had been broken off at the base, and had fallen on the ground at the head <br />of the tomb. Small, orange wildflowers were growing up around it. This might not <br />have been so unusual except for the fact that they were the only flowers growing <br />anywhere in the tomb. The contrast of these symbols of life and springtime next to <br />a symbol of death was so striking, I decided to take a photograph of it. I took my <br />camera out of my backpack and took the photo from the angle I wanted. Before I left, <br />I picked up their cross and put it back in place on their tomb. The sun was setting <br />quickly and I was worried about finding my way back in the dark, so I decided to <br />head home. <br />71. Why did the author have to turn back at half a tank? <br />A. Because he had to return the motorcycle he had rented earlier. <br />B. Because he was afraid of the gas being used up before returning the village . <br />C. Because there were no gas stations all the way . <br />D. Because he wanted to search for an old tomb in the distance. 72.The last sentence <br />in paragraph 2 shows...
