题目内容
17.John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew,but whose face he didn't,the girl with the rose.Thirteen months ago,in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and found himself attracted by the notes in the margin (页边).The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.In front of the book,he discovered the previous owner's name,Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort,he located her address.He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.During the next year and one month,the two grew to know each other through the mail.A romance was developing.John requested a photograph,but she refused.She felt that if he really cared,it wouldn't matter what she looked like.Later they scheduled their first meeting-7:00p.m.at Grand Central Station in New York.
"You'll recognize me,"she wrote,"by the red rose I'll be wearing on my coat."So at 7:00he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.
A young woman in a green suit was coming towards him,her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers.Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her,and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40.The girl was walking quickly away.He felt as though he was at a loss,so eager was his desire to follow her,and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied him and upheld his own.
He did not hesitate.He squared his shoulders and said,"I'm John,and you must be Miss Maynell.I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled,"I don't know what this is about,son,"she answered,"but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat.And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner,I should tell you she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street.She said it was some kind of test!"
It's not difficult to admire wisdom.The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.

分析 本文主要讲述了约翰通过一本书中的注释与一个女孩儿相识并且在约见的过程中发生的一个有趣故事.
解答 26.A 细节理解题.根据文章第一段Thirteen months ago,in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and found himself attracted by the notes in the margin (页边).13个月前,他被一本书中的注释吸引了,结合选项,故选A.
27.C 推理判断题.根据文章第二段倒数第二句She felt that if he really cared,it wouldn't matter what she looked like.可推知 Miss Hollis Maynell 觉得如果二人真的是朋友并且心有灵犀,对方的长相是不重要的,结合选项,故选C.
28.A 推理判断题.根据第二段和第四段都可知Hollis Maynell正是John要见的女孩,而倒数第四段的and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40的这句是因为John根据这个妇女身上的玫瑰误以为她就是Hollis Maynell,而事实上,根据倒数第二段可知,真正的Hollis Maynell已经在马路对面的餐厅等着了.
29.B 推理判断题.根据倒数第二段,特别是最后一句She said it was some kind of test可知,这是个测试,也就是,如果John没有走上去见这个妇女,就证明他并不是真的在乎女孩的思想,也就错过了与她真正认识的机会.
30.C 写作意图题.根据文章最后一段最后一句The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.可知一个人的真正的内心的是可以通过对外貌的在乎程度得到体现的,结合选项,故选C.
