2019 高考英语二轮阅读理解强化训练（03）及解析 <br />A 段 <br />To hitchhike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things：attract <br />attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend <br />to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some marks to <br />let drivers distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman，for <br />instance，should wear his uniform，a student his scarf. In a foreign country an <br />unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver's <br />attention. <br />When I hitchhiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore <br />a welltailored suit，a bowler hat and a trench coat，and carried a pencilthin rolled <br />black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of <br />luggage，moreover，I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic <br />(精神病患者)．I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler， <br />and needed to get somewhere cheaply. <br />But even with careful preparation，you must not assume that the task will be <br />easy. You should be prepared to wait a little，for there are drivers who confess <br />to a fierce prejudice against，(not to say hatred of)，hitchhikers，and would no <br />more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America，my average <br />wait was half an hour，and my longest two hours，but I have heard of people waiting <br />all day—they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice. <br />Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice ， normal <br />people. On one occasion I found myself was with two boys of about nineteen who turned <br />out to be on the run from the police，and were hoping to use me as an alibi(不在 <br />犯罪现场旳证人)．There are also lesser(较小旳)risks：you may find yourself in the <br />car of a Fascist fanatic，a Mormon missionary(传教士)，or just a bad driver. You <br />cannot tell，of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the <br />quick excuse that gets you out again. <br />If the hitchhiker in the U．S. remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers <br />to give him a free ride，and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and <br />company ， and not go to sleep ， he will come across the remarkable ， almost <br />legendary ， hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can <br />drive—I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitchhiked in the States. <br />1．A hitchhiking serviceman should wear his uniform ________. <br />A．so as not to look too unusual B．to attract attention <br />C．to show he is on duty D．to put the driver at ease <br />2．In Paragraph 3，we learn that the writer ________. <br />A．has sometimes failed to hitch a ride B．has marched from Aldermaston <br />to Lon...
