题目内容
【题目】 Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter, she still didn’t like us.
As new teacher in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.
I won’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school, we had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.
Well after 16 months in the school we had a secret friend gifting. To my surprise, I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret friend. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret friend was.
I decided to gift her a coloured bangle(手镯). I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose-Marie.”
Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you received your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to them. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said”My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.”She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gifts.
Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.

这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述的是Cala的朋友被新来的老师替代,因此对作者她们产生敌意。最终作者用自己的真诚和智慧改变了Cala的态度。作者通过这个故事想告诉我们“善有善报。”
【1】细节理解题。根据第三段中I won’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school, we had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.“我不愿透露她的国籍,但她的朋友们被学校开除了,我们代替了他们的位置,这就足以让她与我们无关了。”可知,Cala之所以不喜欢西方的老师是因为他们取代了她朋友的位置。故选C。
【2】推理判断题。根据第五段I decided to gift her a coloured bangle(手镯). I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose-Marie.” 我决定送她一个彩色手镯。我加了一张明信片,上面写着“爱和祝福,玫瑰玛丽。”和第六段Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you received your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to them. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said”My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.”She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gifts. 这一天终于来了。我们都聚集在会议室里。当你收到礼物时,你说了几句关于你的秘密朋友的好话,然后把礼物递给他们。我能说什么呢?大家都知道她不喜欢西方人。她在学校教音乐,所以我说:“我的秘密朋友是一个每天给我们带来音乐的人。”她带着温暖的笑容走上前来。她拥抱我,亲吻我的双颊,接受我的礼物。由此可知,作者用自己的真诚和智慧改变了Cala的态度。故选D。
【3】推理判断题。根据最后一段Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.“从那以后,她经常微笑。我们见面时拥抱和握手。我好几次看到她戴着我的礼物,我很高兴。”由此可知,这个故事的结尾是“美丽的”。故选C。
