18.My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company.One day,I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath.I started with my normal pitch (音高),expecting to hear the normal reply-"I don't want any."
Instead,he spoke in a faint,weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering,but he couldn't because he was dying of illness.He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then,and it took almost all his energy to answer the call.He asked if I smoked,which I did,and begged me to stop.He told me smoking was what was killing him.He told me to spend every day with my loved ones,and tell them how much I love them.A this point,I couldn't control myself.We ended the call,but I hel on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
I wrote down his name and address,and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family.Shortly after,I received a letter from Frank,along with a picture of him and his wife.We continued to write back and forth over the next few months,and became very fond of each other.He was old enough to be my grandfather,and in many ways,I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife.When I started to read,tears came to my eyes.She told me how Frank's battle with the disease had finally come to an end,and he passed away shortly before the Christmas.She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank,and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years.At his funeral,to show just that,they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he'd never met.

48題答案:A考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第一段的My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company.(高中畢業(yè)后我的第一份全職工作是為一家著名的公司通過打電話售賣旅行包)可知本題答案為A選項"旅行代社".
49題答案:D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第二段的At this point,I couldn't control myself.We ended the call,but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in.(這時候我無法控制自我,我們結(jié)束了通話,但是我還是握著電話為了阻止另一個電話打進(jìn)來)可知作者沒有掛斷電話,這樣可以讓自己冷靜下來;故"collect myself"的意思是"冷靜下來"的意思,因此本題答案為D選項.
50題答案:C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第二段的Instead,he spoke in a faint,weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering,but he couldn't because he was dying of illness.(相反,他用無力、微弱的聲音告訴我他有多么想?yún)⒓右淮挝覀兲峁┑穆眯,但是他不能因為他得病快要死去了)及后面的He asked if I smoked,which I did,and begged me to stop.He told me smoking was what was killing him.(他問我是否抽煙(我抽煙),并且求我不要再抽了.他告訴我正是吸煙才讓他致死)可知"這位老人的肺部有問題"(吸煙會導(dǎo)致肺癌,老人說話蒼白無力說明肺部的損壞已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致他呼吸很困難了),故本題答案為C選項.
51題答案:D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第三段的We continued to write back and forth over the next few months or so.(我們繼續(xù)在接下來的數(shù)月中書信來往)可知作者和Frank保持聯(lián)系,一直到他去世;故本題答案為D選項.
52題答案:B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)第四段的She wanted to thank me for the letters I had written to Frank,and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years.At his funeral,to show just that,they read the 1st letter.(她想謝謝我寫給Frank的信,然后解釋到Frank在過去的那些年中是如何感動很多生命的.在他的葬禮上僅僅為了說明那一點(觸及他人心靈),他們讀了第一封信)可知在Frank的葬禮上,作者的第一封信被朗讀,暗示Frank觸及了很多人的心靈;故本題答案為B選項.
