【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
That was the only reason why I joined my school39。s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall. These people like to plain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and passion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person39。s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the neverending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else39。s life.(1)What was the influence of the boy39。s rose on the author?

I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school39。s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer.“從那時起,我就把盡我所能做隨機的善舉作為我的人生使命。我下定決心要讓別人微笑。這就是我加入學校Red Crescent Society并成為一名志愿者的唯一原因。作者加入學校的Red Crescent Society的原因是為了讓別人微笑。故選C。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的”Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while“可知每當我對別人做了好事,我周圍的人就會開始評判我的行為。通常我會保持沉默,忽略他們說的話,但每隔一段時間,這些人還是真的會讓作者特別生氣。上文but可知前后文表示轉(zhuǎn)折,周圍人的言語偶爾還是會讓作者非常生氣。故可推測劃線部分短語意思為“是我非常生氣”。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查,是一篇人生感悟類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行推理,歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for. For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (預(yù)算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使參與) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone. Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There39。s no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.(1)Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young? milk the cow. meet the farmer and his family. experience country life. enjoy the scenery.(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? author encouraged his customers to save their money for family vacation. author met new people and new things during the trip. trip helped the author understand the meaning of vacations better. author involved his kids in planning the vacation to cut their budget.(3)What is this passage mainly about? author had a good time in the countryside. author advised others to spend vacations with their families. author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family. author realized the
