6.When I went away to college,I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books.
Since I didn't know a soul at this university,I volunteered for a club to make friends.That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union,waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up.My assignment was to escort (護送)her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou,author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
As showtime neared,Angelou's car pulled up.When its door opened,Angelou and a female friend exited,each wearing head-to-toe fur coats.I nervously guided the pair inside.Angelou was ready to sweep onstage,but first,there was her fur coat.I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.
"No,"she said.She looked out at the audience."You need to get out there and live."
So I found a front-row seat and heard,for the firsttime,a book come alive in an author's own voice.The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.
I wish I could say that my life changed then.But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact.A few years later,I became a newspaper editor,which required talking to many people.For those times,I depended on index(索引) cards.But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.
Today,I'm in my 50s.I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true.I get out there now and live.

分析 本文是記敘文,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一位作家所說的話和他的表演對自己的深遠影響.
解答 24.D.推理判斷題.根據第一段的neveragainsee those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me可推測,作者應該是個比較靦腆的女孩.倒數(shù)第二段的 I went deeper into my interior self也是提示;故選D.
25.C.推理判斷題.根據第四段Angetou所說的話You need to get out there and live 可知,Angelou拒絕作者照顧她的皮草外套的建議是希望作者把時間用在該用的地方,應該去看表演而不是看衣服;故選C.
26.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據倒數(shù)第當段fifl wish I could say that my life changed then.But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact 可知,作者剛畢業(yè)時,并未因Angelou的話而改變,還是把自己封閉起來;故選B.
27.A.標題歸納題.根據第四段Angelou所說的話 You need to get out there and live 和文章結尾 I get out there now and live 可知,A 項作標題表現(xiàn)出Angelou對本文作者的影響以及作者自身的改變,非常貼切;故選A.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
