" We are more than halfway now:It's only two miles farther to the hotel," said the driver.
"I'm glad of that!" answered the stranger,in a more sympathetic mood.He meant to say more but east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak.The girl's voice was something quite pleasant,however,and presently he spoke again.
" You don' t feel the cold so much at twenty below zero out in the western country.There is none of this damp chill," he said and then it seemed he had been unhappy.She had not ever said that it was an unpleasant day.
" You will have a cold drive going back," he said anxiously,and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat-collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible.
"I shall not have to go back!" said the girl with eager pleasantness."I'm on my way home now.I drove over early just to meet you at the train.We had word that someone was coming to the hotel."

『答案及解析』

1.About four miles.

3.East.
4.Wet,windy and cold.(cold可用freezing代替)
5.Two.
【解析】
1.根据原文第一句话“ We are more than halfway now:It's only two miles farther to the hotel.”司机说他们已走一半多的路了,而此时距旅馆还有两英里的路程,可推断出从火车到旅馆的路程大约为两个two miles,即four miles.
2.文中“I shall not have to go back!”said the girl with eager pleasantness.“I'm on my way home now.”女孩热情高兴地说她不许回头,因为她也正在回家的路上,所以女孩高兴的原因是strager去旅馆与她回家同路.
3.根据文中“He meant to say more but east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak.”那个stranger想再说点什么但是强烈的东风压制住他的喉咙,可知他们正迎着风向东开.
4.据前文知风很大,故windy.又由原文中stranger的话“There is none of this damp chill”知那里的冬天潮湿、寒冷.
5.文中提到的司机driver其实就是女孩the girl,全文其实只是围绕她和stranger的对话,因此文*有2个人物.不认真看的话搞不清driver就是the girl,容易误认为是3个,须注意.
