Question

B [2014 •福建卷]

   It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

  Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, "Mum, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

   At the front of the supermarket, a charity (慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. "It will make her feel better," he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.，，

   By now paramedics (急救人員)had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him, "My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better. "

   At that, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you so much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.“

   The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

B

[文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了去年母親節(jié)的早上，"我"帶著五歲大的兒子購物要離開時，一位老太太在超市入口處摔倒了，流了很多血。這時兒子提議去超市前面的慈善義賣處給這位老太太買朵花，安慰她一下。后來，作者請老太太的丈夫轉(zhuǎn)交了花并轉(zhuǎn)達(dá)了孩子對她的關(guān)愛之心，老人非常高興。

4. D推理判斷題。A項(xiàng)意為"一個人無論怎樣小心都不過分"；B項(xiàng)意為"行勝于言"；C項(xiàng)意為"愛始于微笑"；D項(xiàng)意為"一個小小的善行會帶來巨大的喜悅"。綜合全文可知，D項(xiàng)最符合文章主旨。

5.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的"As we were leaving, we found —on the concrete."可知，A項(xiàng)是錯誤的；根據(jù)第三段中的"I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller-"可知，B項(xiàng)是正確的；根據(jù)第= 段中的最后一句可知，賣花的人非常認(rèn)同作者母子的做法， 故C項(xiàng)是錯誤的；根據(jù)最后一段可知，老太太并沒有感動得落淚，故D項(xiàng)是錯誤的。

6.C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的"He said he was just too scared to go up to her."可知，兒子被鮮血和醫(yī)療器械嚇到了，故選擇C項(xiàng)。astonished驚訝的，震驚的；struck被打擊的；excited激動的，興奮的。

7.A主旨大意題。B項(xiàng)只是一個時間點(diǎn)，在本文中并沒有詳盡表述；C項(xiàng)只是文中的一個小細(xì)節(jié)；D項(xiàng)在文中沒有具體描述。綜合全文可知，只有A項(xiàng)概括了全文的事實(shí)和主旨，故選擇A項(xiàng)。
