02：【好题精选】阅读单选-2023年九年级下学期英语专题周周练 （陕西）（第一期） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 阅读单选 March 16th, 6 p.m. Today is our last day in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Tomorrow Max and I are going to Coroico, a town about 60 kilometers from here. We’re taking a bus along the North Yungas Road, also known as “Death Road”. It goes along steep hillsides and cliffs. People call it the most dangerous road in the world! There are hundreds of accidents on it every year. I will find more information about the road and update the blog. March 17th, 9 a.m. I’ve found out more about the North Yungas Road. It’s only about 3 meters wide, and in some parts there’s a drop of at least 600 meters. That’s more than half a kilometer! There’s no barrier (护栏) along the side of the road. And there’s often rain or fog, which makes it even more dangerous. I found out another thing. Here in Bolivia, they drive on the right side of the road. But on the North Yungas Road, they drive on the left. Why? Because this means that the driver on the dangerous side of the road can see the edge (边缘) of the road more easily. The driver’s seat is on the left side of the bus, so the driver is close to the edge. Our bus leaves in one hour! March 17th, 8 p.m. We got to Coroico safely. It was terrifying at times! But there was no rain or fog. Our driver told us the road is safer than it used to be, and he’s driven it many times before. He didn’t drive fast, and we never went too close to the edge. Thank you, Mr. Bus Driver! 1．Where could this text be from? A．From someone’s blog. B．From a magazine. C．From a novel.
