It’s 7 a.m. in Kyoto (京都), Japan, and the taxi company has just called a second time to say they can’t find my house. Once again I gave directions even a blind cabby could follow. I glance impatiently at my watch, and wait. There is only two hours left before my flight leaves — and it’s an hour-and-a-half trip to the airport.
Outside, heavy rains are pouring down. The telephone rings again. "Terribly sorry," begins the speaker. Then I realize what has happened. I’ve heard taxi companies would refuse to take guests to places too far away when the weather gets bad. I shout into the phone that I have a plane to catch and ignore his further explanation. Since I must be in Seoul (首尔) by noon, I walked out in the heavy rain, trying to get a taxi on the way by myself.
I gaze up and down the road. No taxi. Finally, struggling with my umbrella and suitcase, I begin to hitchhike. A car goes by, the driver and passenger staring at the well-dressed foreigner walking backward and holding his thumb(大拇指) out in the downpour.
From the other direction a white Nissan approaches, then stops by me. A young man throws open the door, and climbs outside. In the most humble Japanese, the man identifies himself as the dispatcher (调度员) with whom I have spoken three times this morning. To get me to my plane, he has abandoned (放弃,离开) his post and raced from the company in his personal car. He keeps apologizing, but does not explain why a taxi could not pick me up, except to say they are "very very busy" this morning. Delivering me straight to the airport, he refuses the 4,000 yen I press into his hand.
A few hours later, settling back into my seat as the storm-delayed 727 takes off, I open the newspaper. On the second page my eyes wander to the headline of a short article: "Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto."
What is the writer going to do this morning?
选项
A、He is going to stay in Kyoto.
B、He is leaving for Tokyo by plane.
C、He is leaving for Seoul by plane.
D、He is looking for a good taxi company.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句话“There is only two hours left before my flight leaves—and it’s an hour-and-a-half trip to the airport.,以及第二段最后一句Since I must be in Seoul(首尔)by noon…”,得知这个作者要去赶飞机,而且是飞往首尔。所以本题选[C]。
