【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 to the information given in the passage you have just read. In university I had a parttime job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus. Every afternoon around four o39。clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would e to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn39。t mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing — always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived. I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives — until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o39。clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites. I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn39。t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids. So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They bee, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰場) who let my boys ring home。 Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn39。t leave until I arrived to pick her up。 Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work — even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. Was that a police car I saw at your house last night? That wasn39。t a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.（1）According to the passage, the author sometimes _______.

That was a Doughnut Lady.”可知有好心的警察在下雨時將她的孩子送回去了，而作者把這位好心的警察稱為甜甜圈女士，說明在作者心中，幫助他人的人就是甜甜圈女士，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。文中作者充滿善意地對待在她兼職的店里等車的孩子，她自己孩子也被善意地對待，全文的關(guān)鍵就是善意的行為，所以D項切題，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis39。s Swamp (沼澤地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. What happened? Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. The land hit back—just as the old man warned, Jack shrugged. Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. What a st
