【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 tic cold to reach the mountains of my home. It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龍頭)were dry. The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house. I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(軟線)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with Thank you heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast. Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heartfelt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird39。s song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.（1）What was the direct reason why the water pipes were frozen?

Then I sent a joy filled with Thank you heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.”中的smiled和“a joy filled with Thank you”可知，作者對(duì)自己的工作很滿意。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.”可知，作者強(qiáng)調(diào)我們要感激生活中的每一個(gè)溫暖，無(wú)論它們是多么的微不足道。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 She was known to millions as the Queen of Crime or the Duchess (女公爵)of Death. But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing about the weapons most often used in murder. I don39。t think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body, Agatha Christie once said. But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In her 50year writing profession, Christie39。s murder stories made her the world39。s bestknown mystery (神秘)writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare39。s works have sold more copies than her. Her novels have been turned into films and TV scenes. This month, British TV announced they will remake eight Christie films. Her work has continuing appeal for viewers, said director Laura Mackie. There is always a desire for a really good detective novel. Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World War I. She went on to produce 79 novels and lots of short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express(1934) and Death on the Nile (1937). Poirot is a tidy little man with a funnylooking moustache, an eggshaped head and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behaviour of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has bee so famous that someone has even written his biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.（1）What kind of works did Agatha Christie write?
