题目内容
20.Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents'home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机),I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterwards,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment.When I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say"thank you",and it meant a lot,he said.
"Thank you"-two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

解答 21-24 BCBD
21.B 细节理解题.根据第二段第一句中的"black smoke began pouring from the back of my car"可知,作者的车出故障了,所以他才坐老夫妇的车. 由此可知答案.
22.C 推理判断题.根据第二、三段可知,这对老夫妇让作者搭他们的车去见朋友,作者下车后,老夫妇还给了他一张名片,在作者寄去感谢信后,这对老夫妇给作者寄了一个圣诞礼物,由此可知,这对夫妇很善良.kind意为"善良的",符合文意.talkative意为"健谈的";brave意为"勇敢的";lonely意为"孤独的",均不符合文意.
23.B 细节理解题.根据第三段最后一句"Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful."可知,这对老夫妇认为,帮助作者让他们的假期很有意义,这一切都是值得的.由此可知答案.
24.D 标题归纳题.通读全文可知,本文作者这要讲述了两个自己受到帮助的故事.每一次受到帮助后,作者都会通过写便条来表达自己对他们的感谢."感谢"二字虽然说起来容易,但是意义重大.由此可知答案.
