题目内容

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.

After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

1.What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

A.To request a wage increase from his boss.

B.To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

C.To celebrate his success with his wife at home.

D.To ask his boss to come for dinner.

2.On his way back home, Andrew _________.

A.felt weak in the knees

B.was punished by the traffic policeman

C.was too anxious to share the news

D.couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal

3.Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?

A.Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.

B.Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.

C.Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.

D.One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.

4.Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?

A.She was confident of his getting a pay raise.

B.She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.

C.She believed that her husband was the best in his company.

D.She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.

5.We can conclude from the text that ______.

A.we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us

【解析】

试题分析:本文叙述了Andrew在公司的工作取得了一定的成绩之后,他告诉他的妻子他要请求老板给他涨工资,他经过了思想的准备工作就和老板说了,没有想到老板答应了,他很高兴,准备回家和妻子分享这个好消息,没有想到妻子为他准备好饭菜,而人没有在家,却留了两张不同的卡片给他,卡片上写着无论是哪种结果,她都会很爱自己的丈夫。

1.细节理解题。根据While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.他要向老板请求涨工资,故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit.不怕超速,急于赶往家中,想把这个涨工资的好消息快点和妻子分享,故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据从他的妻子给他的两张卡片的内容上看他的妻子不知道这个好消息,故选D。

4.细节理解题。根据Total acceptance 从两张卡片的内容也可知他的妻子对于两种结果都接受,故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据最后一段可知害怕被拒绝往往是软弱的表现和当我们知道有人爱我们不管我们是成功还是失败,我们可以接受或拒绝任何挫折,故选D。

考点:故事类短文阅读。

点评:推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存,推理是为了做出正确的判断,正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
