Question

【題目】A letter to school

Dear Alcohol，

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio, She didn’t realize her brother was in the middle of it at all. She never saw him again. And it’s all because of you!

Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were with my friends. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again. I spent about two hours that night helping my friends, “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for some of them and took another two to hospital. Thanks to you, poor girls slept in hospital beds that night.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do! He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He is addicted to(沉迷)you. You have brought him much more trouble instead of taking his problems away. One night, he drank too much of you and that nearly killed him! You just sat back and laughed when his car went like a flash through the street, crashing into two other cars. And he wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.

I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy once in a while. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop hurting the people I love and stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely.

Stella

【解析】

短文通過書信的方式來勸誡遠離酒，通過三個故事說明了酒的害處，偶爾會讓人們開心。但給數(shù)百萬人的生命造成的傷害是不可原諒的。

【1】通讀全文，可知整篇文章都是 Stella 所列舉的酒精給她的生活帶來痛苦的例子。故正確答案為 Yes, it has.。

【2】根據(jù)文章第二段第一句 Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons 可知，當天 Stella 的鄰居是要去接他的妹妹。故正確答案為 His sister.。

【3】根據(jù)文章第三段第三句 I spent about two hours that night helping my friends 可知，當天 Stella 花了約兩小時去照顧她的朋友。故正確答案為 About two hours.。

【4】根據(jù)文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句中 I called taxis for some of them and took another two to hospital 可知，Stella 幫她的朋友叫了出租車，并帶著另外兩個朋友去了醫(yī)院。故正確答案為 She called taxis for some of them and took another two to hospital.。

【5】根據(jù)文章第四段第五句中 One night, he drank too much of you and that nearly killed him 可知，Stella 的父親因為喝了太多酒差點出車禍身亡。故正確答案為 He drank too much alcohol.。

【6】通讀全文，Stella 列舉了三個例子來說明酒精給她的生活帶來的傷害，分別是：Stella 的鄰居，高中聚會，Stella 的父親。再根據(jù)第四段第一句 Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life 和最后一段最后一句 Stop hurting the people I love and stop hurting me 可知，Stella 討厭酒精是因為酒精傷害了她愛的人，也差點奪走了她父親的生命。故正確答案為 Three. Alcohol hurt the person she loved. She almost lost her father forever because of alcohol.。
