Jack Billabong is a stockman. One Friday afternoon he was riding along die track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock (小围场). He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.
There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But die air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked die track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. " There’ s a badly burnt man on die farm," die girl shouted. " He saved my life. Please help me to save him. "
The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.
Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’ s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.
" I’ve never seen a horse like that pony," Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about die pony, "Joe will write about her in his story," she said.
But she did say one thing: " If Flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died. "
Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?
选项
A、Because Joe was tired out.
B、Because the ride started late at night.
C、Because they didn’t have enough courage.
D、Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据文章第四段第二、三、四句可知,回Borrogee的路上情况很糟糕。 Cathy太累了,Jack不得不把她和她的小马绑在一起。小马也累了,但它的勇气令人吃惊。故选D。
