【題目】根據(jù)下列短文內(nèi)容,選擇正確答案。
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. Once at midnight, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice (臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time."
I quietly shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take?" I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse.
"Nothing," I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered.
"There are other passengers."
"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you."
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly(漫無目的地),lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run?

【解析】短文大意:短文描述一個出租車司機在二十年前的一個真實的事情。一天凌晨,接待了一位老人,她的要求是環(huán)視全城,每到一個她熟悉的地方,她都會講述以前的事情,后來司機才知道,原來她的生命就要結(jié)束了,因此是想再看一看這熟悉的地方。最后司機并沒有收費,而且還送給老人一個擁抱。
(1) B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這位老婦人為什么環(huán)視這座城市?閱讀全文得知,她遇到一個熟悉的地方,就請司機慢行,并且還講以前的事情。原文是她的生命很短暫了,她想在最后的時刻看一看這些地方,故選B項。
(2) A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。出租車司機為什么沒有向她要錢?分析句意:老人問多少錢,司機說不要錢了。最后一句話也體現(xiàn)出司機的用心。 Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(擁抱). She held on me and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."句意: 幾乎想也沒想,我給了她一個擁抱。她對我說,"你給了一個老婦人片刻的歡樂。"從中充分說明,司機想幫助她,故選A項。
(3) B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從這個故事中我們學(xué)到了什么?通過對全文的理解,我們從中明白一點,一個善良的舉動能帶給人們很大的快樂,故選B項。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解,選擇正確答案。
I didn't think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye(吸引我的世界). It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫襤褸). He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍貴) thing he had.
"Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought(盡管) he's homeless?" I asked.
"He bought it," she replied. I was still unable to understand.
"But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need."
"Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too."
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized(意識到) that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to look forward to.
Since then I've never gone a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What's often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.
(1)How would Sarah spend her days long ago?
A.She watched TV all day.
B.She used to read a lot.
C.She did nothing but thinking.
D.She was always sleeping.
(2)Who caught Sarah's eye when her mum stopped the car at a red light?
A.A man dressed in rags.
B.A man dressed in new clothes.
C.A man sitting down with a sad expression.
D.A man singing happily to the music.
(3)Why was the man different?
A.He wore new clothes.
B.He was sitting with a sad expression.
C.He was homeless.
D.He lived an active life though he was very poor.
(4)What did Sarah do after she understood the fact?
A.She thought all day without doing anything.
B.She bought a radio just like the man's.
C.She had a passion with everything from then on.
D.She always danced to the music on the radio.
(5)What can we learn from the passage?
A.Sometimes food and clothes are the most important things in our life.
B.Happiness is the key to life and it is what we are looking forward to.
C.Music is more important than food or clothes.
D.Money is the most important thing for a person.
