建昌高中2019-2020学年度上学期10月月考 高二年级英语学科试题 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） (共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分) A A new mom from Michigan headed for the airport Thursday, nervous about flying alone with her 3-month-old. When her daughter started crying even before take-off, her fears for the flight ― to surprise her husband, a US Army soldier at Fort Rucker, Alabama ― seemed acceptable. The couple seated next to her reacted just as Rebekka Garvison had feared, looking visibly unhappy about sitting next to a fussy (难以取悦的) baby. Ms. Garvison moved to a new seat, hoping it would help. When the baby’s cries continued, the woman sitting next to her asked if she could try. Garvison later described in a grateful Facebook post how the woman, Nyfesha Miller, had the magic touch with her baby. "As soon as she had her, Rylee was looking out the window and stopped crying," Garvison recalled. "When we got in the air she fell right asleep and slept in her lap the whole flight until we got to our gate." Garvison told The Huffington Post she has been in touch with Ms. Miller almost daily since the flight. Garvison’s post has been shared more than 84,000 times, and received hundreds of warm comments.

A nun (修女) was sitting beside me and she walked him up and down the passage when he got fussy. It was such a relief for me and is something I will never forget." Not everyone has had happy experiences with baby air travelers. One airline is considering opening a "baby class" for airplanes with flight attendant nannies (保姆), reported The Christian Science Monitor’s Meredith Hamilton. For now, parents can hope to be seated beside someone like Ms. Miller on their next flight.

B In the movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take. The cat responds, "Well, that depends on where you’re trying to get to."
