【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 nvestigate, he heard another sound, this one ing most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree39。s base, its engine on fire. Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver39。s seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20 yearold Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver39。s side window, in visible pain. Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car39。s back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he39。d brought with him, he cut through Thompson39。s seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames. It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly. For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of reallife heroes changing the world.（1）Where was the first sound actually from? house on fire. car crash. bedroom window. basement.（2）What do we know about Quintin Thompson? saved his car from fire. was successfully rescued. remained calm all the time. was capable of helping himself out.（3）Which of the following best explains empathy underlined in the last paragraph? ....（4）Which words can best describe Damian Languell? and generous. and grateful. and noble. and reliable.【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，Damian Languell勇敢地救出了一起車禍中的幸存者Quintin Thompson，因?yàn)樗挠⒂滦袨?，Languell被列入了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中改變世界的英雄名單。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine.”清晨8點(diǎn)15分， Damian Languell被吵醒的聲音太大了，以至于他以為那聲音是從緬因州Wade的家中傳出來的；以及“A car wrapped around the tree39。s base, its engine on fire.”一輛汽車?yán)@在樹的底部，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)著火了，可推知，第一個(gè)聲音實(shí)際上是車禍發(fā)出的。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.”現(xiàn)在Thompson自由了，Languell把他拉了出來，在整輛車起火之前把他拉到安全的地方，可知，Quintin Thompson成功獲救。故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“My heart goes out to Thompson.

One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success. Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions — or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it. Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合約). Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, bed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary. It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottomtotop process took him only three seconds, while the toptobottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up. “I can save fortyfour seconds,” he plained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn39。t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.（1）Why was the author39。s house considered a sort of school?
