Question

【題目】Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【解析】

試題分析：正所謂：山窮水復(fù)疑無路，柳暗花明又一村。我的丈夫到了悉尼以后，裝有重要文件的箱子被偷掉了。我的丈夫束手無策，突然有人主動(dòng)把丟失的文件送還過來，讓我們對(duì)別人重新有了信任。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.中的while looking for a house for me and our children可知我的丈夫到了悉尼稍作停留之后就開始為我和孩子找房子了。說明找房子是丈夫計(jì)劃要做的事情。故B正確。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段后3行Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.孩子的父母親仔細(xì)把這些文件進(jìn)行分類，盡管里面有很多他們不熟悉的外國地址。最后他們找到了“a half-written letter”一封寫了一半的信，信里有丈夫給朋友的電話號(hào)碼。根據(jù)電話號(hào)碼他們找到了我的丈夫。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【3】D猜測詞義題。根據(jù)本句That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people這個(gè)家庭不僅僅把這些重要的文件歸還給我們，而且還把對(duì)人的信任歸還了我們。再根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.說明restore表示歸還。故C正確。

【4】C主旨大意題。本文敘述了作者的丈夫到悉尼，裝有重要文件的箱子被偷掉了。在他萬般無奈的情況下，有人主動(dòng)聯(lián)系他，并歸還他丟失的重要文件。這些重要的文件在別人看來都不重要，但是對(duì)于丈夫來說卻是萬分重要。選項(xiàng)中的C項(xiàng)能夠說明文章的中心思想。故C正確。

【長難句解析】

1.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.

翻譯;那天下午當(dāng)他回來的時(shí)候，他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的手提箱不見了。

分析：本句中的不定式在句中充當(dāng)?shù)氖墙Y(jié)果狀語，通常和only連用表示意料之外的結(jié)果。現(xiàn)在分詞在句中做狀語，通常表示意料之中的結(jié)果。

2. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.

翻譯:那家人不僅僅歸還了這些重要的文件而且還歸還了我們對(duì)人的信任。

分析:本句中的謂語部分是由not only….but also…組成的一個(gè)并列結(jié)構(gòu)。要注意當(dāng)not only放在句首的時(shí)候，要使用部分倒裝的形式。本句可以改為：Not only did the family restore the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.
