三、閱讀理解：

Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and she chose to live alone far away from people. She lives in Belize -- a county the size of Wales with a population only that of Swansea. Her home is at Gales Point, a tiny village which can be reached only by sea or air; after a 10-mile walk into the hills one finally reaches a piece of land and two small houses so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there.

She lives happily and totally alone – growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and letters--usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a local man will come and cut wood for her and a group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee.

At night she lies in her tiny sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in a corner of the bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough.

But recently the very things which she had tried to get free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the noise of earth-moving machines not many miles away. What she once only heard of distantly on the radio is now on her doorstep. Things began to change three years ago. The new main north-south road in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away. “Now more people know I’m here.” She says. “I feel more and more uneasy each day.”

1、Dorothea’s small houses ________.

2、Dorothea lives in the tiny village because ________.

A. she doesn’t like living near people B. she is too old to move

C. machines destroyed her home D. there’s nowhere else for her to live

3、Dorothea doesn’t get lonely since she has _______ with her.

A. her sister B. some animals C. friends from Canada D. a postman

4、Dorothea spends a lot of time __________.

A. growing all the food she needs B. cutting down trees

C. listening to the radio D. studying languages

5、Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Dorothea doesn’t hear from her sister once a month or so.

B. The cats and hens are settled down in a corner of the bookshelf.

C. More and more people come to visit her now.
