IV．阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Last Tuesday, pizza delivery driver Chris Turner received a phone call from a customer who wanted him to deliver a pizza to a small cabin in the Tennessee mountains, 30 miles away from his shop. Normally, Turner wouldn’t have made a delivery so far from his normal route, but for some reason, he decided to make an exception.
It’s a good thing Turner made that trip. Though he may have hoped for a good tip, he got something much better: the opportunity to save a woman’s life.
When Turner showed up at the cabin, a man came to the door and paid for his purchase by credit card. When the man was looking down to sign his receipt, Turner noticed something very strange. Turner saw “a young lady pop over the back of the couch with her hands bound together”. She “was mouthing to me ‘please call 9-1-1’, quite a few times”, he recalled.
Turner played it cool while completing the delivery, and smilingly told the man to have a nice day. As soon as he was away from the house, he called the police from his cell phone.
Thanks to Turner’s quick work, the police were able to rescue the kidnapped woman and arrest the criminal. “She was just thanking me for trusting her,” Turner said in an interview. “She said he was going to kill her.”
We’re betting that if he gets another out-of-the-way delivery request, he won’t hesitate to make the trip. What’s a little bit of extra distance when you might be saving a life?
66. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A. Chris Turner, a helpful delivery driver
B. Home safety, a life-and-death matter
C. Kidnapped woman rescued by a pizza delivery
D. Cruel man caught by the police
67. According to the first paragraph, Chris Turner _______.
A. received a phone call for help
B. seldom made remote deliveries
C. was good at making pizza
D. first entered the mountain area
68. By giving a sign, the young woman asked Turner to _______.
A. loosen her hands B. fight that man
C. take her away D. call the police
69. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. to get a big tip, Turner delivered the pizza to the cabin
B. the criminal robbed the woman of her credit card
C. without Turner’s appearance, the woman may have died
D. Turner is a person who is always ready to help others
70. According to the passage we can know that Turner is _______.
A. brave and calm B. hardworking and diligent
C. shy and helpful D. kind and generous
V. 根据课文内容填空。（每空1分，共5分）
