With effort, we can translate passion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work parttime in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it39。s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款機(jī)）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day. I couldn39。t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn39。t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job. Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said. What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me passion.（1）The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______. A.promised to obey the store rulesB.hoped to have the food first and pay laterC.forgot to take his credit card with himD.could not afford anything more expensive（2）Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A.He considered the old man dishonest.B.He felt no pity for the old gentleman.C.He wanted to keep his present job.D.He expected someone else to pay for the old man.（4）What lesson did the author learn from this experience? A.Obeying the rules means more than passion.B.Wealth is most important in older age.C.Experience is better gained through practice.D.Compassion means helping in some way.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者通過一位老人買餅干而沒錢付賬的經(jīng)歷告訴我們可以把同情的愿望轉(zhuǎn)化為行動(dòng)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.”可知，結(jié)賬時(shí)這個(gè)老人說(shuō)自己沒有錢了，問我他可不可以先把餅干拿走，第二天再把錢送來(lái)，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段老人身上連買餅干的錢都沒有及第二段中的“all alone in the world.”可知，他又窮又孤獨(dú)，故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“but store rules didn39。t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.”可知，商店的規(guī)定不允許先拿貨后付錢，作者想保住這份工作所以不敢違反規(guī)定，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Compassion（同情）is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate passion into action. ”可知，同情是我們內(nèi)心幫助別人的愿望，通過努力，我們可以把它轉(zhuǎn)化為行動(dòng)，也就是說(shuō)作者從這個(gè)經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到了同情意味著以某種方式幫助別人，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(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。9．閱讀理解 The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect。 however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience. One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews.
