Question

阅读理解 　　One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes．It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, ” and it is even harder to say, “l was wrong, and you were right about that．” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago．He told me he had been the manager of a cartons(纸盒)．Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember the incident he was describing． 　　I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping．On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place． 　　There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons．The cartons were put three or four feet high．I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show．Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the pile of cartons．For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work． 　　The manager heard the noise and hurried to see what had happened．When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame．He scolded me loud and wanted me to pay for any broken． 　　Many years have passed and I have forgotten the incident, but the manager hasn't yet． (1) How old was the author when he wrote this article?

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．C;3．A;4．A;
解析：

(1)	细节理解题。第二段提到那时我8岁，第一段又提到那个时间是15年前的事情，所以得知现在是23岁，故选C。本题易。
(2)	细节理解题。从第三段可知，是一名购物的妇人将鸡蛋盒子撞倒，而我只是跪着看看鸡蛋碎了没有，那位妇人应该受到批评，故选C。本题易。
(3)	细节理解题。A项错误，第四段提到“我”受到批评，而不是妇人；第四段提到他大声批评我，B项正确；第三段提到销售的鸡蛋便宜，C项正确；第三段最后一句提到，是我将盒子放回原处，D项正确，故选A。本题易。
(4)	[解析]推理判断题。第一段第一句话就表明作者的态度，很多人羡慕别人拥有的一个品质是自愿承认自己的错误，下文又说我就遇到过一次这样的事情，可以看出作者的态度，很欣赏，故选A。本题易。 　　[文章大意]很多人羡慕别人拥有的一个品质是自愿承认自己的错误。有时说一句简单的“这件事我做错了”特别难，而说“我错了，你是对的”则是更难。最近我就有一次这样的经历，有人像我承认了他15年前犯的错误。
