题目内容
3．With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane，I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles．It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun（尼姑）．I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight．I asked a few times what was wrong，but she didn't answer at first--she couldn't hear me．She was wearing a woolen coat．Judging from her accent，she came from Eastern Europe．
Do you know how much hearing aids cost？Thousands，especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described．It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one，and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right．Therefore，my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid．But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin（机舱）
The lady wasn't even sure where or when she had lost it．At one point，a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady's seat； I wasn't impressed．They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight!My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects，bits of plastic，broken pieces of headphones．
The old lady said that she gave up．Yet I couldn't．After we landed，as passengers streamed past us，I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair．Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor．
Look!A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat．
What a rush．"I found it!"
With great astonishment and gratitude，the old lady responded，"I haven't the words to express my thanks!"

分析 本文主要讲述了作者是如何在飞机上热心地帮助一位老太太找到她丢失的助听器的故事．
解答 答案：
32．C 细节理解题 根据第一段中的"With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane，I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid"可知，作者将双手和膝盖伏在飞机的地板上，是在帮一位老太太寻找她的助听器；故选C．
33．C 细节理解题 根据上文作者趴在飞机的地板上，帮一位老太太寻找她的助听器以及第二段中的"…she couldn't hear me．She was wearing a woolen coat．Judging from her accent，she came from Eastern Europe．"可知：这位老太太听力不好；她丢了助听器；她来自东欧；故选C．
34．B 细节理解题 根据倒数第三段中的"A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat．"可知，作者是在老太太座位附近的地板裂缝里找到助听器的；故选B．
35．D 细节推理题 在最后两段里提到：在老太太已经放弃寻找助听器并且在飞机已经着陆的情况下，作者还坚持帮其寻找，并最终在老太太座位附近的地板裂缝里找到助听器；以及最后一句"With great astonishment and gratitude，the old lady responded，‘I haven't the words to express my thanks!'"可推测出：老太太对作者充满了感激；故选D．
