The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were pletely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.
As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. ?
But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was ing to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.
I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overing my fear.

(答案→)D
解析：C篇描述的是作者突如其来的恐惧感以及最后如何克服的。
【小题1】主旨大意题。本文作者描述了终于可以雪上汽车冒险了非常兴奋的心情，但是真正开始后，作者又被一种莫名的恐惧所笼罩。直到午饭后，周围的幽静美景让作者彻底地放松、清静下来。因此作者把最后一段旅程作为克服自己恐惧的机会，成功后喜悦而自豪，所以D正确。
【小题1】推理判断题。根据第一段可确定B正确。根据第二段可排除A；根据第一段最后一句可排除C；文章中作者只是担心会撞倒树上，所以D错误。
