Question

【题目】 Recently, several unhappy things happened to Gina. One afternoon she called a friend to talk about them. After hearing her words, the friend invited her to her home for tea and said, “All trouble will disappear after tasting tea.”

Gina couldn't believe her, but she still decided to go for relaxation. At the friend's home, her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China. It's said that there are five tastes.” Then, her friend opened the box slowly, took out a spoon of tea carefully, put it into a teapot(茶壶)gingerly, and then poured in boiled water softly.

Only one minute later, the friend poured out a cup of tea and asked Gina to taste it. Gina drank it but nearly puked(吐)it out. She shouted, “Is this tea? It tastes like medicine!”

The friend just smiled. She re-poured boiled water into the teapot. After a minute, the friend poured out another cup and asked Gina to try the second one. Gina took a drink and found it was not as terrible as the first one but still bitter(苦的). This time she didn't shout. When Gina drank the fifth cup, a sunny smile shone on her face. She said, “It tastes good! I've never tasted such a wonderful flavor(味道).”

The friend said, “Life is just like this! Only when we taste it patiently can we feel happy.”

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

最近Gina遇到了很多不开心的事情，她把这些事情和自己的一个朋友说了说。她的朋友邀请她去家里喝茶，说喝完茶后，这些麻烦就都会消失了。Gina去了朋友家，朋友给她煮茶并告诉她只有耐心品味生活才会感觉到幸福。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段 “Recently, several unhappy things happened to Gina. One afternoon she called a friend to talk about them.”可知，Gina和朋友谈的是自己遇到的不开心的事情，也就是trouble“麻烦，烦恼”。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段 “her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China.”可知，Gina的朋友是让人从中国买的茶叶。故选B。

【3】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的语境 “Then, her friend opened the box slowly, took out a spoon of tea carefully, put it into a teapot(茶壶)gingerly, and then poured in boiled water softly.”可以看到，Gina的朋友打开盒子、拿出茶匙、往茶壶里放茶叶、倒进开水里，这一系列的动作都使用了slowly, carefully, softly修饰，是“慢慢地、小心地、温柔地”，因此gingerly与这几个副词的意思应该是相近的，所以A中的bravely、B中的angrily和C中的impolitely都不符合语境。故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第三段 “Gina drank it but nearly puked(吐)it out. She shouted, “Is this tea? It tastes like medicine!””可知，Gina喝了第一杯茶，感觉像喝药一样；再根据第四段 “Gina took a drink and found it was not as terrible as the first one but still bitter”，Gina喝的第二杯不像第一杯那样苦了。因此Gina觉得第一杯茶太苦了。故选A。

【5】主旨大意题。这篇短文先是讲述了Gina去朋友家里喝茶的故事，通过叙事告诉我们一个道理。因此最后一段是点明文章主旨的句子，根据最后一段 “The friend said, “Life is just like this! Only when we taste it patiently can we feel happy.”可知，作者想要告诉我们的是：只有当我们耐心品味生活的时候，我们才会感到幸福。故选C。

这是一篇记叙文，但也不全是叙事，通过叙事讲述一个道理，有记叙、有议论。文章内容不难理解，题型是阅读理解，考查学生们通过阅读短文获取文章主旨以及细节信息、猜测生词含义以及进行合理的推测和判断的能力。这个题目设置了细节题、猜词题和主旨题。细节题往往较为简单，答案常可以直接在原文找到，做题时可根据题干所问，或利用题干中的关键词，在原文中锁定相关信息作答。如第1小题和第2小题，这两个题目就比较简单。猜词题需要学生们结合上下文语境、利用构成法的知识等进行猜测，如第3小题，首先从构成法上gingerly应该是一个副词，从它所在的句子里，我们可以发现其他的一些修饰词，如slowly, carefully, softly等，这些都是表示“慢地、小心地、温柔地”等意思，因此gingerly应该与它们意思相近，这样就可以知道答案。
