题目内容

【题目】In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

【1】The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .

A. her work delayed her trip to Sydney

B. she missed the only train back home

C. she was going home for her holidays

D. the town was far away from Sydney

【2】Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?

A. He helped the girl find a ride.

B. He gave the girl a ride back home.

C. He bought sandwiches for the girl.

D. He watched the girl for three hours.

【3】The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

A. she realized he was Gordon

B. she had known him for decades

C. she was going to the nearby town

D. she wanted to repay the favour she once got

【4】What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A. Those who give rides will be repaid.

B. Good manners bring about happiness.

C. Giving sometimes produces nice results.

D. People should offer free rides to others.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文，题材是社会生活。作者讲述了25年前自己错过了唯一的一趟回家的火车，她想搭便车回家但没有人为她停车。最后一位名叫Gordon的人把自己请到家中吃了午饭并帮助自己找到了回家的便车。25年后的一天搭自己便车的老人竟然是那位名叫Gordon的人。

【1】B细节理解题。用题干中“hitch a ride…1978 ”定位到第一段，答案在第一段最后两句the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride唯一的一趟回家的火车已经离开，所以我想搭便车回家。，故选B。

【2】A细节理解题。B, C, D三选项均与第二段不符，答案选A.He helped the girl find a ride, 与第二段最后一句After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.他还主动帮助我找到回家的便车，故选A。

【3】D细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier可知，我认为这是回报几十年前给我帮助的人的又一次机会，故选D。

【4】C写作意图题。综合分析全文内容，25年前我得到Gordon的帮助，25年后Gordon又偶然地得到我的帮助。所以作者想通过这个故事，告诉我们：给予有时会产生好的结果,故选C。

Day became night and my mom had not returned．I asked my dad again【3】she was and when she was coming home．

“Baby girl, Mom is not coming back，she left and went【4】(live) with someone else．”These were his exact【5】(word)．I asked if she did not love me anymore，and then I cried myself to sleep.

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 【1】 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter --- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. 【2】 .

Experience fear.

I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 【3】 .

Create space.

The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 【4】 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight (逃避)" response in the body.

Control the breath and feel the fear.

Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests (展现) in the body. 【5】 .

With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do. For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

B. Fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.

E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

F. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

G. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

Dear Jeremy and Alice,

Although we’ve been delighted to have you as neighbors, we’re hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog—Cleo.

We’ve called several time about Cleo’s early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she’s outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o’clock. That is too much for us. considering how closely the houses are.

We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope which you can figure out a good way of settling the matter.
