Question

【题目】 When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin (柏林), Germany, on my month-long mission trip in Europe. My team and I had one night there to spend however we pleased. Most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax. But I did not want to pass up the chance to explore Berlin.

I visited a lot of major attractions around the city that night. When I got tired off, I checked the time on my watch. I was surprised to see that it was two o’clock in the morning! As I walked to a subway station, I realized that it was my dad’s birthday. This would be the first birthday I couldn’t celebrate with him because he passed away a few months earlier. Before I could begin reminiscing (回忆) about my dad, the train was about to leave. I dashed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But it quickly turned to panic (恐慌) when I noticed that the train was headed in the wrong direction!

I looked around the nearly empty train. I saw a young woman sitting quietly by the window and came up to her "Hi. Do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me?" I asked.

The woman understood. She told me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But I was too nervous to follow her instructions. Without thinking, I asked. Can you come with me? Her face froze at my sudden request (要求). After a long second of hesitation, she agreed to help me.

On the journey back to my train station, she and I chatted. We shared our life stories, our sadness and our hopes for the future. At my stop, she thanked me for sharing so much with her. She also told me how I had encouraged her. I couldn’t believe this stranger with the big heart was thanking me! I gave her a hug and thanked her for her incredible (难以置信的) kindness.

【解析】

本文讲述了作者在柏林迷路了，并地铁坐错了方向，在一个陌生的女人帮助下，她又回到了上车的地方。

【1】细节理解题。根据Most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax. But I did not want to pass up the chance to explore Berlin，可知，作者的大部分队友决定呆在室内放松。但是作者不想错过探索柏林的机会，所以她没有呆在室内。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据This would be the first birthday I couldn’t celebrate with him because he passed away a few months earlier，可知，作者不能跟父亲一起庆祝生日是因为父亲几个月前去世了。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据I was surprised to see that it was two o’clock in the morning及I looked around the nearly empty train，可知，作者陷入困境时，那已经是凌晨2点钟，作者上了地铁之后发现车厢几乎是空格，所以A选项是正确的。根据"Hi. Do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me及The woman understood. She told me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train，可知，作者向这个女人寻求帮助，是因为作者不知道如何回到上车的地方，所以B选项是正确的。根据"Hi. Do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me?" I asked.The woman understood，可知，作者问这个女人是否可以说英语，这个女人明白了。由此可知，这个女人会说英语，所以C选项是错误的。根据But it quickly turned to panic (恐慌) when I noticed that the train was headed in the wrong direction，可知，作者上错了车，这辆车开往反方向的，所以D选项是正确的。故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据Her face froze at my sudden request“我突然提出要求，她脸僵住了”，从这句话可知，这个女人对于作者突然提出的要求感到惊讶。故选D。

【5】细节理解题。根据We shared our life stories, our sadness and our hopes for the future“我们分享了生活的故事，我们的悲伤和我们对未来的希望”及结合所给选项，可知，作者未来梦想的工作属于“对未来的希望”，她爸爸的过世属于“悲伤”，她错过的旅行属于“生活的故事”，唯独没有分享队友的秘密。故选C。

【6】最佳标题。根据第一段When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country“当我是一个少年时，我在一个异国他乡迷了路”及最后一段I gave her a hug and thanked her for her incredible (难以置信的) kindness“我给了她一个拥抱，并感谢她令人难以置信的善意”，可知，本文主要讲述了作者在异国他乡迷路了，在一个陌生的女人帮助下重新回到了上车的地方，在路途中互相分享了彼此的人生故事，作者在最后十分感激这份来自陌生人的善意。所以最适合本文的标题是“来自陌生人的善意”。故选D。
