解答 53-56.DCBA
53题答案:D考查细节推理,根据第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else,"the complaining father reportedly said.(那位抱怨的父亲命令式地说道:特殊需要的孩子需要特殊的地方)可知在服务员已经为这家人换位置后这家人还是不依不饶,要求孩子离开餐馆;因此可知这家人不为他人考虑,很自私.故本题答案为D选项.
54题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else.(特殊需要的孩子需要到别的特殊的地方去)可知本题答案为C选项.注意:题干问的是"推测",B选项是已知事实,故不可选.
55题答案:B考查细节推理,根据后面的"My personal feelings took over,"he said,leading him to tell the father."Sir,I won't be able to serve you."(他说:我的个人感受占据了我.导致他告诉这位父亲:先生,我们不会为你服务.)可知划线部分的意思是"做自己认为对的事情",故本题答案为B选项.
56题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章第五段的The restaurant's Facebook page has received praise from people in Texas and beyond.这家餐馆的脸书已经收到了来自德克萨斯州和其它地方人们的赞扬.可知脸书这一网络中的很多用户可能做过像Garcia一样为患有这种疾病的人"撑腰"的事情(不然他们怎么会赞扬Garcia的行为呢?),故本题答案为A选项.
