Question

【题目】That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold．I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore．I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck（垃圾车） pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes．“Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

试题分析:本文是一篇记叙文，描写了作者孤身在圣弗朗西斯科工作，因为工作有了阻碍，使得作者灰心丧气。而她在回家路上丢了钱包，又失而复得的事情使得她重新对在这座城市待下去有了信心。

【1】A分析推断题。根据第一段中作者的表述，距离开幕式还有一周作者还没有背好台词，她在银行的兼职和晚上的表演工作有冲突。在她走回家的过程中她严肃地想着要放弃圣弗朗西斯科和跳舞。根据语境故选A。

【2】A细节题。第四段最后一句Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.尽管我焦虑的沿着街边找了十五分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到。故选A

【3】C细节题。根据第五段第二、三句.When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name? 这时，里面传来一个声音：“艾丽莎·卡马克？”我以为我在做梦，这个男人怎知道我的名字呢？故选C

【4】B细节题。根据最后一句I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.我意识到只要人们愿意相互帮助，这个城市并没有我所想的那么糟糕。作者觉得圣弗朗西斯科这个城市没有自己想的那么糟糕，可以推测出她想要留下来。故选B
