Question

【題目】

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It's happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.

A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.

When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying, “I see you, honey. It's going to be okay.”

Just last year, I was running a halfmarathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting_the_wall”. I thought I couldn't move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What's your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.

I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?

【1】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者意外受到陌生人幫助的故事，并把這件事牢記心里。

【1】主旨大意題。文章第一段引出主題“someone unexpectedly did something nice for you”，詢問是否有陌生人曾經(jīng)幫助過你，然后下文講述了自己的兩段相關(guān)的經(jīng)歷，因此文章的主要內(nèi)容是講述陌生人的幫助的。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題是“陌生人的善良”。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。從第三段The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying,一句可知這位穿白衣的人與作者不相識(shí)，卻為他們付了錢，由此判斷出可知他是一個(gè)慷慨、善良的人。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。由畫線部分前面的” With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. “可知作者剛跑了一英里就耗盡了體力（out of gas），Runners call it ...中的it用來代指上句中的out of gas，畫線部分與”I was out of gas”表達(dá)相似的意思。選項(xiàng)D. running out of energy（耗盡能量）符合。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的Okay, Jennifer, let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace可知，好了，詹妮弗，我們走！ 快點(diǎn)！ 就要到了！ 你能做到的! ” 他跟我一起跑，直到我完成比賽。所以那個(gè)陌生人一直陪著作者，鼓勵(lì)作者。故選B。

詞義猜測(cè)是考生必須掌握的一項(xiàng)重要閱讀技能，因此，意義猜測(cè)題是高考閱讀理解的必考題型。這類題包括猜測(cè)單詞、短語、句子的意思和判斷指代內(nèi)容。解題技巧:

1.文中找線索或信息詞。

2.根據(jù)熟悉的詞及詞義判斷新單詞的意思。

3.根據(jù)上下文判斷新詞匯在特定句中確切的意思。

很多情況下都根據(jù)技巧1.文中找線索或信息詞。以本文第3題為例：由畫線部分前面的” With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. “可知作者剛跑了一英里就耗盡了體力（out of gas），Runners call it ...中的it用來代指上句中的out of gas，畫線部分與”I was out of gas”表達(dá)相似的意思。選項(xiàng)D. running out of energy（耗盡能量）符合。故選D。
