Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car's tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn't slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened. Shocked, I shook my head to clear it and gazed down at my foot.
Just as I did, though, a truck rushed past my car doing 60 mph. My weary eyes hadn't seen it when I had looked just 2 seconds earlier. If I had been pulling out when I should have been, my little green car would have been smashed and I would have most likely been killed. I sat there for a long time quietly thanking God for sparing my life before pulling out on the road and heading home. This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.
As I looked back on that moment later I still couldn't understand it. Did God prevent my brain's signal from reaching my foot? Did an angel hold my toes to keep them from pressing on the gas? One question kept coming back into my mind as well: why? Why did I get this miracle? Why did God spare my life this day? Finally, I felt the answer forming deep within my heart and mind. I heard the words coming from my soul saying: “You still have more to do. Your work is not done yet!”
Richard Bach wrote: “Here is the test to find if your mission on Earth is finished: if you are alive it isn't.” Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn't done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be.

【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,作者在刚加完油准备驶入主路的时候,由于前一天睡眠不好,脑子和脚不协调没有踩加速油门,这个迟钝的动作缺救了他一命,躲过了一个飞速行驶的卡车。作者由此感谢上苍给他了眷顾,认为这是一个奇迹。
⑴词义猜测。windy有风的;sunny晴朗的;overcast阴的;cool凉爽的。根据句意:是一个阴的,……下雨的天。因此gloomy与cloudy和rainy是近义词,是让人不舒服的天气,故选C。
⑵细节理解。根据第一段After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road可知他要上主路,故选D。
⑶细节理解。根据 I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened可知我的大脑发出信号,让脚踩油门踏板,但是什么都没发生。说明作者的脚没有听从大脑的指挥去才油门,根据第二段最后一句 This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.可以印证之前脚没有听大脑的指挥。故选D。
⑷推理判断。根据最后一段Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn't done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be. 可知作者每天醒来,知道自己的任务没有完成,有更多的爱去分享,更多的人去帮助,更多的善意要给,还有上帝将奇迹给你的一天。所有作者对生活是积极的态度。故选A。
