Question

【題目】閱讀理解
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.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章，作者在剛加完油準(zhǔn)備駛?cè)胫髀返臅r(shí)候，由于前一天睡眠不好，腦子和腳不協(xié)調(diào)沒有踩加速油門，這個(gè)遲鈍的動(dòng)作缺救了他一命，躲過了一個(gè)飛速行駛的卡車。作者由此感謝上蒼給他了眷顧，認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)奇跡。
⑴詞義猜測。windy有風(fēng)的；sunny晴朗的；overcast陰的；cool涼爽的。根據(jù)句意：是一個(gè)陰的，……下雨的天。因此gloomy與cloudy和rainy是近義詞，是讓人不舒服的天氣，故選C。
⑵細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road可知他要上主路，故選D。
⑶細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù) I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened可知我的大腦發(fā)出信號(hào)，讓腳踩油門踏板，但是什么都沒發(fā)生。說明作者的腳沒有聽從大腦的指揮去才油門，根據(jù)第二段最后一句 This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.可以印證之前腳沒有聽大腦的指揮。故選D。
⑷推理判斷。根據(jù)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. 可知作者每天醒來，知道自己的任務(wù)沒有完成，有更多的愛去分享，更多的人去幫助，更多的善意要給，還有上帝將奇跡給你的一天。所有作者對(duì)生活是積極的態(tài)度。故選A。
