It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.”在我們動身的前兩天，她寫信通知我，她將在維也納中途離開我。那時再找一個朋友已經(jīng)太晚了，所以我要么從維也納回家，要么一個人繼續(xù)走。我繼續(xù)。我自己上了火車，自己住旅館，自己找路?？芍?，關(guān)于她第一次獨自旅行，作者說她不得不選擇自己去，故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.”那是30年前的事了，從那時起，我周游世界，通常是獨自一人。我仍然做我當時做的事，那就是記日記。由此可知，文“The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way.”的意思是獨自旅行最棒的禮物就是一路上遇到的人。 solo travel 的意思是獨自旅行，故選C。 （4）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.”我可能每次都是獨自出發(fā)，但我遇到了很多對我很重要的人。我在尼泊爾加德滿都遇見了我的丈夫。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結(jié)識了一生的朋友?？芍髡邚乃穆眯兄械玫降暮锰幨且宦飞纤龅搅撕芏嗳耍蔬xD。 【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，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into ignore pattern, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself. Hi, my name is Helga! We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called .(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad39。s health was on the decline. Later her father39。s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers. When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I39。ll never forget about Helga39。s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked at me and said, Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day. It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn39。t normal. Kindness isn39。t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I39。m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help. So, I39。ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I39。m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.（1）What impressed the author most about Helga39。s story?
