Question

阅读理解 　　When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels(下跪)at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money?What should our attitude to beggars be?There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories．It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from．It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars． 　　Certainly, most of the world’s great religions(宗教)order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves．But has the world changed?Maybe what was morally(道德方面)right in the old days is no longer the best idea．When one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune(不幸)and needed help, quite a few people will not give to beggars．Let us look at their arguments． 　　First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable(可怜的)and actually make a good living from begging．Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(恶行)．Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs．Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging．One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence． 　　Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people．Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help． 　　It is hard to come to any final conclusion;there are various cases and we must deal with them differently．A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver． (1) What is mainly discussed in the passage? [　　] A． Moral deeds of people． B． Religious activities of the church． C． Moral goodness of the giver． D． Arguments on giving to beggars． (2) What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph? [　　] A． People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village． B． Some people will not do what was morally right in the past． C． We don’t meet with those who need help any more． D． Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars． (3) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? [　　] A． Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars． B． Some beggars want money to help their children go to school． C． Some beggars use the money to buy drugs． D． Some beggars have no excuse for begging． (4) In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because ________． [　　] A． the cases can be so different B． there are so many beggars C． there is so much money wasted D． there are so many different arguments

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．B;4．A;
解析：

(1)	主旨大意题。论述是否应该给乞丐施舍。
(2)	推理题。“But has the world changed?”尽管是一个疑问句，实际上表达了作者的怀疑态度。历史上宗教要求我们和那些比我们不幸的人分享快乐，给予帮助，但是这种道德观念现在并不广为接受，第二节的最后作者举例说明相当多的人不愿意给穷人施舍。因此可以推断出B项。
(3)	细节题。文章第三节主要列举了乞丐乞讨的种种情况，只有B项(要钱为孩子上学)未提到。
(4)	细节题。作者认为很难下结论是因为两种争论根据不同情况展开。
