三、阅读理解。

A

One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my

best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be 2 dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.

When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned

me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I

decided to disregard his warning. I couldn’t wait to finish the job and go back home. I began

cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was

right.

The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the

line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree,

pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!

After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power

company. Workers from the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched

the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “______________,” he said. It was my

boots that saved my life.

Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down——but not

my mother. Even though she was glad that I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me.

After all(毕竟), I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.

41. Although Bruce warned him, the writer still cut the tree down because ____________.

A. he was sure there would be nothing to happen

B. he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and expected to go home earlier

C. he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind

D. he knew electricity can’t travel through wood

42. The underlined phrase “brushed off” in the last paragraph may mean “____________”.

A. pay no attention to B. give up C. think over D. give in
