【題目】閱讀理解
It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their ears,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10 hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18 speed,was our only transport(交通工具).Trevor used it to get to work,putting in 60-hour weeks to support(養(yǎng)活)his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨)saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so said that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor(幸事)that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole.And it has influenced(影響)us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.
(1)Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A.The man's job was bike racing.
B.It was their only possession.
C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D.They used it for work and daily life.
(2)We can infer from the text that______.
A.The couple worked 60 hours a week
B.people were busy before Christmas
C.the stranger brought over the bike
D.life was hard for the young family
(3)How did people get to know the couple's problem?
A.From radio broadcasts.
B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news.
D.From a stranger.
(4)What do the couple learn from their experience?
A.Strangers are usually of little help.
B.One should take care of their bike.
C.News reports make people famous.
D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)D
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了一對艱辛度日的年輕夫婦,在丟失家里唯一的一輛自行車后,登報(bào)求助,得到許多人幫助的故事。告訴我們,有時(shí)候一個(gè)善意的行動(dòng)可能對別人意味著很多事情,愛是能夠傳遞的。
(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.”可知這輛自行車對家庭很重要,幫助我們做了很多的家務(wù),故選D。
(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.和Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.以及After putting in 10 hours of labor”可知我們家的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況很不好,丈夫工作得也很辛苦,故D項(xiàng)正確。
(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“ I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story”可知我給報(bào)紙寫了信,因此人們是通過報(bào)紙知道這個(gè)故事的,故B正確。
(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.”可知一個(gè)善意的行為對別人來說可能會(huì)有很大的意義,故D項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】閱讀理解
People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”
Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph' to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”
Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don't know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”
(1)The subject discussed in this passage is _______.
A.how people do research studies
B.how people open up when emailing
C.how to communicate at work
D.how to discuss and solve a problem
(2)The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.
A.they didn't talk about very personal things
B.they couldn't see each other
C.the cameras on the computers were turned on
D.they had to discuss a question
(3)In the writer's opinion, one should ______.
A.focus on oneself when emailing
B.talk more freely in emails than usual
C.consider how one uses email at work
D.discuss any subject that one wants to
