Question

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文的內容判斷正誤，正確的涂A，錯誤的涂B。
When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps，Arkansas，she had a particular routine(慣例)when people who were known to be whiners entered her store. My grandmother would ask the customer，“How are you doing today，Thomas？” The person would reply，“Not so good today, Henderson.You see，it’s this summer heat.I just hate it.It just makes me tired.It’s almost killing me.”Then my grandmother would stand calmly，her arms folded，and say，“Uh-huh，uh huh.”
As soon as the complainer was out of the store，my grandmother would call me to stand in front of her.Then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times，it seemed to me.“Jane，did you hear what so-and-so complained about？”And I would nod.Grandmother would continue，“Jane，there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night，poor and rich and black and white，but they will never wake again.Those dead people would give anything，anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was complaining about.So you watch yourself about complaining，Jane.What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it.If you can’t change it，change the way you think about it.Don’t complain.”
I have learned a lot from my grandmother.Her opinions always hit the nail on the head.Whining is not only impolite, but can be dangerous.
【小題1】The underlined word “whiners” in Paragraph 1 refers to those people who enter a store regularly.
【小題2】 From what the author’s grandmother said we can infer that she was against whining.
【小題3】The author’s grandmother told her to treasure every moment of her life.
【小題4】The author was told different things after the whiners left Grandmother’s store.
【小題5】The purpose of the author in writing the passage is to show that complaining is not only rude but harmful.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】A
【小題4】B
【小題5】A

解析【小題1】B。詞義猜測。由第二段那個人的答復以及第三段中the complainer及complained about可知，whiners指的是那些經(jīng)常抱怨的人。故是錯誤的。
【小題1】A。推理判斷。祖母對抱怨者無話可說，而且要作者聽明白，其意圖是讓作者明白抱怨沒有用，由此可知作者的祖母反對抱怨。
【小題1】A。推理判斷。作者的祖母提到有些人晚上睡著，白天再也醒不過來了，說明活著就是一種幸福，要珍惜生命的每一刻。
【小題1】B。推理判斷。從第一段第一句話When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps，Arkansas，she had a particular routine(慣例)when people who were known to be whiners entered her store.可知。
【小題1】A。主旨大意。文章最后一句點題：Whining is not only impolite，but can be dangerous（抱怨不僅僅是不禮貌，可能會很危險）。
