题目内容

On a freezing-cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview—ten miles away, over snow-covered roads.

Reagan had been looking for work for months. His mother had died two years earlier, and he was the only caretaker of his younger brother, Cole, 16, and sister, Jazzlyn, seven. He was desperate for a regular salary after cutting lawns(草坪) and doing other temporary jobs.

Three hours into his hard trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a Cajun restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from owner Art Bouvier, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. “I told him to get on the bus,” says Bouvier. “He thanked me and went on his way.”

Fifteen minutes later, Bouvier pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. “You’ve really got to be on the bus,” he told Reagan. “I don’t have money for the bus,” Reagan replied. Bouvier offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job search.

“I thought, This is the kind of kid I want working for me,” says Bouvier. He got the teen’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.

Later that day, Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook. “He doesn’t know it yet, but he starts on Monday,” Bouvier wrote. “It’s been a while since I’ve met someone so young with a work ethic(伦理) like that!” A few hours later, Bouvier called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera that night.

Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour. The publicity(宣传) has brought in so many new customers that Bouvier plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year.

1.Why did Jhaqueil Reagan have to find a job ?

A. Because he had to make enough money to support his family.

B. Because his parents had died two years earlier.

C. Because he wanted to change his job.

D. Because he was desperate for a good job.

2.Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined part in the sixth paragraph ?

A. reported           B. delivered              C. heard         D. told

3.Which of the following words best describes Bouvier?

A. honest             B. warm-hearted           C. modest       D. independent

4.What’s the best title of the passage ?

A. A Young Man Who Had an Interview        B. A Young Man Who Found a Job

C. A Boss Who Offered a Job                 D. A Boss Who Took a Chance

 

【答案】

 

1.A

2.C

3.B

4.D

【解析】

试题分析:Reagan母亲早在两年前就去世了,所以他要抚养年幼的弟弟和妹妹。他感到靠打零工是不行的。因此他极度想找一份固定工作来赚钱抚养弟弟和妹妹。他找工作已经找了好几个月了。一个下雪天他又外出到离家十英里地方去面试。本文就是叙述了Reagan这天的求职经历:在热心人的帮助下,他的执着如愿以偿。

1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段可以知道“他要找个工作挣钱足够的来支撑这个家”。

2.C 词义猜测题。根据“Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook”我们知道“Bouvier把有关Reagan

求职的事情写成文章发表在社交网络Facebook上”,因而“A television reporter”最有可能是“听说了”

这个故事。报道(reported)是后来的事;这位电视记者不可能在此之前讲(told)这个故事;也不可能“发表,

递送(delivered)” 这个故事根据下文“interviewed the pair”

3.B推理判断题。从“Bouvier帮助Reagan”所做的一系列事情看,我们可以推断“Bouvier应该是一个热心肠的人”。

4.D 主旨大意题。AB两个选项都是细节,不能概括全文,故排除。C项是说“一个提供工作的

老板”文章中根本没有说。D项的意思是“一位碰上运气的老板”,这个跟文章主旨相吻合。

考点:记叙文类阅读理解
