【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
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.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. After I was married and had lived in Japan for while, my Japanese gradually improved to the point where I could take part in simple conversations with my husband and his friends and family. And I began to notice that often, when I joined in, the others would look surprised, and the conversational topic would e to a stop. After this happened several times, it became clear to me that I was doing something wrong. But for a long time, I didn39。t know what it was. Finally, after listening carefully to many Japanese conversations, I discovered what my problem was. Even though I was speaking Japanese, I was handling the conversation in a Western way. A Westernstyle conversation between two people is like a game of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you to hit it back. If you agree with me, I don39。t expect you simply to agree and do nothing more. I expect you to add somethinga reason for agreeing, another example, or a detailed explanation to carry the idea further. But I don39。t expect you always to agree. I am just as happy if you question me, or challenge me, or pletely disagree with me. Whether you agree or disagree, your response will return the ball to me. A Japanesestyle conversation, however, is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It39。s like bowling. You wait for your turn. And you always know your place in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger to the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn es, you step up to the starting line with your bowling ball and carefully bowl it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, murmuring encouragement. Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley(球場)and watches to see if it knocks down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them. There is a pause, while everyone registers your score. Then, after everyone is sure that you have pletely finished your turn, the next person in line steps up to the same starting line, with a different ball. He doesn39。t return your ball, and he does not begin from where your ball stopped. And there is always a suitable pause between turns. There is no rush, no scramble for the ball. If you have been trained all your life to play one game, it is no simple matter to switch to another, even if you know the rules. Knowing the rules is not at all the same thing as playing the game.(1)The author makes all of the following arguments EXCEPT that _____.
