Question

School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 1of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me2out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of conversation . I tried to mind my manners and3listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,4, her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 5,I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 6the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes7as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was 8. My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 9that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to10that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of 11and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very selfish. I realized I had only thought of people as 12as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie13she was a bus driver. I had14her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in someone else’s world, and may not even be 15. I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

文章是通过我在回家途中听司机讲述自身故事，引发对自己自私，自我的性格的反思。告知人们不要根据别人的职业等作出判断，要善于理解别人。
1.A 本题考查形容词。结合下文我迫切想回家，我应该是坐在车子的前部。
2.C 本题考查动词词组。Stand out意为：突出，显眼；结合下文的like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.可知答案为stand out.
3.A 本题考查副词。结合前文mind my manners，可知我注意了自己的礼貌，那么应该是礼貌的听司机讲话。
4.A 结合上下文。上文提及我经常在司机说话的时候想自己的事情，下文提及her conversation was worth listening to.可知存在着转折的关系。
5.B 本题考查固定词组和上下文联系。in particular意为：尤其，特别；根据上下文可知司机并没有一个特定的谈话对象。
6.A 本题考查上下文联系，由文章内容可以知道司机非常痛苦，但是又不能当众哭泣，只能强忍着泪水。
7.D 本题考查动词语义辨析。由上下文可知她父亲得了重病，她情绪低沉，当说出父亲所患的病的时候应该是低下眼帘，表示痛苦之情。
8.C 听到她父亲患重病，母亲又已经去世，我很震惊。
9.B 根据下文可知，我母亲的爸爸去世给我母亲带来的应该是痛苦。
10.C 本题考查动词短语辨析。go through意为：经历。作者是不想看到任何人经历同样的痛苦。
11.A 本题考查名词辨析。根据上下文可知她应该有自己的家庭和自己的忧虑。
12.A 本题考查as far as….这一结构。意为：根据…..
13.B 本题考查状语从句的连词。我没有注意到她是因为她只是一个司机。
14.D 本题考查上下文串联。我不注意她是因为她只是一个司机，反应作者是根据职业来判断一个人的。
15.D 考查上下文联系，也许在别人的眼里我也并不重要。点出主题：做人不要自我，每个人都有自己的位置，要学会理解别人。
