1.In a certain store where they sell puddings,a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season.Here you may select the one which is most to your taste,and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.I have often wondered whether some people,who had no intention of making a purchase,would take advantage of this privilege.One day I asked this question of the shop girl,and I learned it wasindeed the case."Now there's one old gentleman,for instance,"she told me,"he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings,though he never buys anything,and I suspect he never will.I remember him from last year and the year before that,too.Well,let him come if he wants it,and welcome to it.And what's more,I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share.He looks as if he needed it all right,and I suppose they can afford it."
She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest."Why,that's the very gentleman I've been telling you about,"whispered the shop girl."Just watch him now."And then turning to him:"Would you like to sample them,sir?Here's a spoon for you to use."The elderly gentleman,who was poorly but neatly dressed,accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings,only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief."This is quite good"."This is not bad either,but a little too heavy".All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings,and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store.Poor old chap!Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.
Amidst the crowd of happy,prosperous looking Christmas shoppers,the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place,and in a burst of benevolence,I went up to him and said:
"Pardon me,sir,will you do me a favor?Let me purchase you one of these puddings.It would give me such pleasure."
He jumped back as if he had been stung,and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face.
"Excuse me,"he said,with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance,"I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you.Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else."And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice,"Kindly pack me up this one here.I will take it with me."He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.
The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it,While he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter.To save his"honor",he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford.How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words!It was too late though,and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away.
"You pay at the desk,"the shop girl was telling him,but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand.And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man.Now he can never go there to sample puddings and more.

分析 本文为夹叙夹议类议论文;文章介绍了在一家商店,顾客决定买布丁之前可以先品尝;作者想知道是不是有人不想购买这些布丁,他们只是品尝而已;事实上有一位贫穷的老人就是如此;作者想帮助老人,为老人买布丁;但是作者的话却让老人感到自己的尊严受到了侮辱;迫使老人去购买自己买不起的东西.文章意在说明,帮助别人时还要考虑到对方的尊严.
解答 61.答案是B.句意理解题.由第二段中的"I have often wondered whether some people,who had no intention of making a purchase,would take advantage of this privilege"可知作者想知道是不是有人不想购买这些布丁,他们只是品尝而已;联系下文,作者询问店员得到答案:情况确实是这样;故B选项正确.
62.答案是A.推理判断题.由第二段中的"let him come if he wants it,and welcome to it.And what's more,I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share.He looks as if he needed it all right,and I suppose they can afford it"可知,这个女店员认为如果老人需要这些布丁,欢迎他品尝;她还希望老人在别的店里也能得到自己所需要的.故可推知,这位店员对老人充满同情.A选项切题.
63.答案是C.推理判断题.由倒数第三和第四段中的"He jumped back as if he had been stung,and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face…with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance"可知,作者的话让老人感到自己的尊严受到了侮辱,他非常生气,所以决定要买下布丁.故C选项切题.
64.答案是D.细节理解题.由倒数第二段中的"To save his"honor",he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford.How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words!It was too late though,and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away"可知,作者的行为迫使一位老人去购买自己买不起的东西.作者为自己的行为感到后悔莫及,感到尴尬难堪.所以作者认为自己能做的事情就是赶紧走开.D选项切题.
65.答案是A.推理判断题;由文章可知,作者本来想帮助老人,可是因为方式不当,伤害了老人的尊严.由此可以推知,帮助别人,不仅仅是要在经济上帮助他,而且还要考虑到对方的尊严.要尊重对方.故A选项正确.
点评 阅读要整体理解文章.在做细节题时根据题干定位细节,在语境中正确理解原句,然后对照选项做出合理的判断;必要的时候要进行推理,透过句子表面看作者的真正意图.如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体,避免以偏概全.
