第一节 （共15小题，每题2分，满分30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.

A

Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, and two hours later, arrived in the next village.

By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish(消失) from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “You aren’t unhappy at home, are you?” “Of course not,” Johnny replied. “Then why?” “I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.

Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck.

It is hardly surprising that finally Johnny managed to get on board a plane. He was twelve at the time. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane.

In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “An explorer(探险家)!” he answered at once. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!

Just before he left school, Johnny saw an ad in a newspaper. An expedition was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were vacancies(空缺) for three young people. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.

51. Johnny frequently left home because _______.

A. he was unhappy there B. he liked walking on foot

C. he loved seeing new places D. he wanted to be independent

52 According to the passage, people around Johnny_______.

A. tried to stop him
