题目内容
15．It was another rainy day，it had stopped raining but the ground was still wet，with this remarkable smell of freshness，I was in the car with my friend，and ahead of us was a pitiful-looking old man，with a walking stick in his hand as it seemed he was having a hard time standing up or barely doing any effort．I have always had a weakness for old people； they break my heart，especially the ones begging on the streets，or selling flowers，I feel sad for them，having to be on the streets instead of being taken care of by their families or the government．There was a car in front of us before we reach next to him．I had prepared money in my hand to give it to him，and I was looking at the car in front of us when the driver took a bill of money and threw it off the window-he threw it in the face of the old man and it fell on the ground，in a wet spot．The old man looked at the bill with a sad look，knowing it would take him an enormous effort to pick it up and he was hardly standing up，so I opened the car door，ran to him as he was bending to pick it up，took it，wiped it with my jeans since it was almost wet，gave it to him and gave him the money I had prepared for him．
The look on his face when he saw me doing that was the most rewarding look anyone has ever given me．He was shocked，and started thanking me for what I did and asking God to bless me，but I couldn't hear a word of what he was saying，I couldn't look him in the eye，how can someone so sweet like him with a kind and gentle look be left on the streets？
Helping him out surely made his day，but what he didn't know is that he affected me in a way he could never imagine-I still think about him very often，and I just hope everyone will look at old people the way I do．

解答 59-62 CABD
59．C 细节理解题．根据第一段I feel sad for them，having to be on the streets instead of being taken care of by their families or the government．可知，作者为这些老人感到难过，他们不得不在大街上而不是由家人或政府照顾，因此作者认为老人应该由家人和政府照顾．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．
