Question

At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop．I thought the job would be easy and stress-free．I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with regular customers．
I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection．I couldn’t seem to please anyone．
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset．He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years．I knew exactly how he felt．
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee．He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee．I had given him his favorite type of droughnut．
“It’s on me,” I told him．“Have a nice day．”
He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain．
The next day, it was still raining．I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders．I was completely wet and freezing cold．Worse, no one was tipping that day．Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed．
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window．He handed me a pink rose and a note．He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world．With a friendly wave, he drove away．
I ran to the back of the shop and read the note．It read:
Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank
After that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness．Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

試題分析：本文通過作者在咖啡店打工的經(jīng)歷告訴我們，我們要用自己對別人的關(guān)愛換得別人的關(guān)懷。
1.推理題：從文章第一段和第二段的女兒，可知作者去打工，原以為那里情況會很美好，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，顧客如潮，抱怨多多，I couldn’t seem to please anyone．所以，作者遇到的實際與想象的想去甚遠(yuǎn)。選D
2.推理題：從文章開頭可知作者在咖啡店打工，這個人是熟客，這次只買了咖啡，由此判斷這次來的目的是買咖啡。選C
3.考查細(xì)節(jié)題：從便條的內(nèi)容Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday．It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice．可知作者在他需要幫助的時候?qū)λ�很好。選A
4.主旨題：本文通過作者在咖啡店打工的經(jīng)歷告訴我們，我們要用自己對別人的關(guān)愛換得別人的關(guān)懷。選B
考點：考查故事類短文
點評：題目以推理題的考查為主，不能以自己的觀點代替作者的觀點，最主要的方法是根據(jù)詞義關(guān)系推斷具體細(xì)節(jié)。對于文章中的推理題，要注意文本內(nèi)容的理解。關(guān)鍵是找出原文的根據(jù)，認(rèn)真核查題支和原文的異同，常犯錯誤有：絕對化語言，范圍擴大或縮小，以偏概全，張冠李戴等。帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀。
