Question

3．When I was a child，my parents often took me to an old house in a thick forest．No other children ever stayed there．I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister．
  I could never understand what the attraction（吸引） of the house was，even for my parents，who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book．The woman in the house，my father's distant cousin，was a terrible cook and her food was inedible．
  One day，when I was wandering around the garden behind the house，I noticed a wooden housewhich had clearly been abandoned（被遺棄的）．As I walked towards it，I heard a noise，like ananimal moving hurriedly away．Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door．I was greatly surprised．
"Please don't tell them you saw me，"he said．"They never use this place，and I have nowhere else to live．""Don't worry，"I said．"I won't tell anyone．But are you all right out here？I mean-do you have enough to eat？"The old man shook his head．
  The same evening，I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and，while no one was looking，emptied some of the food into it．Later，I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man，whose name I had discovered was Taff．
  I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taff's face when he ate the food．From then on，my visits to the old house had a purpose，and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay．

Answer 1

分析 當(dāng)我還是個孩子的時候，我的父母經(jīng)常帶我到一個茂密的森林里的一所老房子里，那里沒有其他的孩子，我甚至沒有選擇是和兄弟玩耍還是和姐妹玩耍．
我不明白這房子的吸引力是什么，即使是我的父母，他們只喜歡安靜的坐著看一本好書．房子里的女人，我父親的遠(yuǎn)房表妹，是一個糟糕的廚師并且她做的食物都不能吃．
有一天，當(dāng)我徘徊在房子后面的花園，我注意到一個木制的已經(jīng)被廢棄的房子．我向門走去，我聽到了一個聲音，像動物突然跑開的聲音．然后我看見一個長著長胡須的人站在門口，我感到非常驚訝．"請不要告訴他們你看見我了，"他說，"他們從來不使用這個地方，我沒有別的地方住．""不要擔(dān)心"我說．"我不會告訴任何人．但你總是呆在這里嗎？我是說你有足夠的東西吃嗎？"老人搖了搖頭．
當(dāng)天晚上，我?guī)е�一個小塑料袋走進(jìn)餐廳，趁人不注意，把一些食物倒到了里面．后來，我從后門偷偷給了那個我已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的叫做Taff的老人．
當(dāng)他吃東西的時候我看到了我從未看到過的滿足的笑容．從那時起，我去這間老房子都帶著一個目的，我很享受我每次去的每一分鐘．

解答 56．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"No other children ever stayed there．I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister．"（沒人呆在那，我沒有兄弟姐妹陪我玩）可知作者很孤獨．故選D．
57．A 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)"was a terrible cook and her food was inedible．"中的terrible可知她做飯肯定不好吃．故選A．
58．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"when I was wandering around the garden behind the house，I noticed a wooden house"可知小木屋的位置是在the garden behind，故選C．
59．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)"I have nowhere else to live．"（我沒有地方可以�。┛芍�老人很窮．根據(jù)"do you have enough to eat？The old man shook his head．"（你有足夠的食物嗎？老人搖了搖頭），可知老人沒有足夠的食物，很餓．故選A．
60．B 文章主旨題．根據(jù)"No other children ever stayed there．"可知剛開始作者感覺去老房子是很孤獨的，是不想去的．根據(jù)最后一段"I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taff's face when he ate the food．"可知作者在幫助了老人之后，看見老人臉上滿足的笑容，很高興．并且I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay．可知自從那之后，我每次去都去幫助老人并很享受去那的每一次經(jīng)歷．可知幫助人對別人有好處，對自己也是有價值的．故選B．

點評 本篇閱讀帶有故事性，讀起來趣味性強(qiáng)．需要多讀幾遍，體會其中作者想要表達(dá)的感情．詞義猜測題要根據(jù)上下句中的關(guān)鍵詞來進(jìn)行猜測．推理題要聯(lián)系我們的生活實際，再結(jié)合文章中的信息來進(jìn)行推理判斷．
