Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【解析】正所谓：山穷水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。我的丈夫到了悉尼以后，装有重要文件的箱子被偷掉了。我的丈夫束手无策，突然有人主动把丢失的文件送还过来，让我们对别人重新有了信任。

（1）B细节题。根据文章第一段Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.中的while looking for a house for me and our children可知我的丈夫到了悉尼稍作停留之后就开始为我和孩子找房子了。说明找房子是丈夫计划要做的事情。故B正确。

（2）C细节题。根据文章倒数第二段后3行Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.孩子的父母亲仔细把这些文件进行分类，尽管里面有很多他们不熟悉的外国地址。最后他们找到了“a half-written letter”一封写了一半的信，信里有丈夫给朋友的电话号码。根据电话号码他们找到了我的丈夫。故C项正确。

（3）D猜测词义题。根据本句That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people这个家庭不仅仅把这些重要的文件归还给我们，而且还把对人的信任归还了我们。再根据倒数第二段第一句My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.说明restore表示归还。故C正确。

（4）C主旨大意题。本文叙述了作者的丈夫到悉尼，装有重要文件的箱子被偷掉了。在他万般无奈的情况下，有人主动联系他，并归还他丢失的重要文件。这些重要的文件在别人看来都不重要，但是对于丈夫来说却是万分重要。选项中的C项能够说明文章的中心思想。故C正确。
