题目内容
13.How often do you let other people like a bad driver,a rude waiter,or an angry boss,change your mood (情绪)?Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson.I got in a taxi,and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane (车道) when all of a sudden,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver used his brakes (车闸),the tires made a loud noise,and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.
I couldn't believe it.But then I couldn't believe what happened next.The driver of the other car,the guy who almost caused a big accident,turned his head around and he started shouting at us.I couldn't believe it!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.So,I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy could have killed us!"And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call,"The Law of the Garbage Truck".He said,"Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger and disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it.And if you let them,they'll dump it on you.
So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.
I began to see Garbage Trucks.I see the load people are carrying.I see them coming to dump it.And like my taxi driver,I don't take it personally.I just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.

解答 1-4 DBCC
1.D 推理判断题.根据第一段My taxi driver used his brakes,the tires made a loud noise,and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.我的出租车司机用他的刹车,轮胎发出一声很大的声响,在最后一刻我们的车停在另一辆车后仅隔3厘米.故选D.
2.B 推理判断题.根据第四段So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.所以我开始思考我多久让垃圾车撞倒我,多久我把他们的垃圾传播给其他人.可知作者对司机的话是印象深刻的.故选B.
3.C 猜测词义题.根据最后一段I see them coming to dump it.And like my taxi driver,I don't take it personally可知,我看到他们来倾倒它,就像我的出租车司机,我不把这些放在心上.由整篇文章推断可知,the load是指不好的情绪,故选C.
4.C 推理判断题.根据最后一段I just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on可知,我仅微笑,挥手致意,祝愿他们都好,继续前进.这就是作者的态度.故选C.
点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
