Question

【题目】

She used to sleep on the Fifth Street. I could smell her before I came close. She wore dirty clothes and her mouth was nearly toothless. I seldom saw her talk with others. If she was not asleep，she talked to herself. What a poor old lady！She must be hopeless and hungry.

One Thanksgiving，we had lots of food left over. I-n thought about the old lady. She might be still hungry. So I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street.

It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew she would stay at the same place and I would find her easily.

There she was，squatted（蹲着）against a fence near the post office. She was dressed as she always was.

I drove my car over to her，put down the window and said，“I've brought you some food.

Would you like some turkey and apple pie？”

However，the old woman didn't seem to be very excited about this. She looked at me and said quite clearly，"Oh，thank you very much，but someone gave me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don't you take it to someone else who needs it？"

Her words were clear and her manners were kind. Soon her head sank into her arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old lady who was clearly down on her luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that？

【解析】

本文讲述了一个很贫穷老太太，作者给了她一些食物，老太太说非常感谢，但是有人提前给了她食物，她现在已经饱了。她让我把食物送给其他需要它的人。

【1】细节理解题。题意：老太太长什么样？（不超过10个字）根据第1段第3句She wore dirty clothes and her mouth was nearly toothless.（她穿着脏衣服，嘴里几乎没有牙齿。）可知答案是She wore dirty clothes and her mouth was nearly toothless.。

【2】细节理解题。题意：她为什么在感恩节拒绝作家的食物？（不超过12个字）根据第6段第2句中someone gave me food earlier and I'm quite full now.（有人提前给了我食物，我现在已经饱了）可知答案是Because someone gave her food earlier and she was quite full then.。

【3】细节理解题。题意：作者对这位老太太有什么看法？（不超过5个字）根据最后一段中Her words were clear and her manners were kind. …. An old lady who was clearly down on her luck still thought about others.（她的话很清楚，举止也很和蔼。….一位显然倒霉的老太太仍然想着别人。）可知答案是She was poor but kind. /She was unlucky but kind. /She thought more about others. /She cared more for.

【4】英译汉题。Why don't you do sth.：你为什么不做某事呢，表示建议性句子；take sth. to sb.：把某物带给某人；someone else：别人，else做后置定语； who needs it是定语从句，修饰someone else，someone else who needs it：需要它的其他人，其他需要的人；故答案是“你为什么不把它送给其他需要的人呢？”

【5】主旨理解题。也是开放性题目，只要符合本文主要内容即可。本文讲述了一个很贫穷老太太，作者给了她一些食物，老太太说非常感谢，但是有人提前给了她食物，她现在已经饱了。她让我把食物送给其他需要它的人。根据本文内容，可知本文表示可以是“不是太穷而不关心别人/不是太穷而不去想别人/一位善良的女士/一位考虑别人的老太太”，故答案是Not（Never）too poor to care for others/Not（Never）too poor to think about others/A Kind lady/An old lady who thought about others。
