Ⅰ.阅读理解
I've often wondered if I might do better as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pick up. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
1．The writer went to Iceland to ________.
A．enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
B．take photos about the region for a book
C．collect materials for psychological research
D．challenge the high mountains there
2．During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ________.
A．they got lost in the mountain
B．they were short of food and fuel
C．they couldn't see the surroundings clearly
D．they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
3．From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ________.
A．were in despair before they were rescued
B．stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C．got sick because of going skiing outside
D．got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
B．In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
C．The travelers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.
D．Awful journeys may become life changing events that inspire people.
