Question

【题目】阅读理解

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。

It was a bad time for me. I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily(不整洁地). Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail(扶手) to lean against.

That’s when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. ‘Wow!’ I thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied, “You look like you’ve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, walking past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction(毒瘾) problems, asked my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!

Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

That’s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled(谦卑的) and encouraged at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others — if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】C

【解析】作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉读者，即使我们身处窘迫境地，但只要有一颗理解、同情的心，一双倾听别人内心的耳朵，能设身处地为他人着想，我们对他人就会有所帮助。

【1】B。细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter's house...”可知，作者在女儿家干一些修理活。

【2】D。细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句中“You look like you’ve had a tough day.”可知，那位女士看到作者很疲惫，所以让座给他。

【3】C。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句Then he told me about his addiction problems可知，那位男士告诉作者他的吸毒问题，希望作者有所建议。

【4】C。词义猜测题。根据第三段和第四段可知，那位男士径直从车后通过拥挤的人群来到作者身边求助，而没有向其他陌生人求助，对他而言，作者同样是陌生人。这里的this stranger指代作者。
