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______.

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(guò)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 A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol cigarette and junk food. The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth39。s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (應(yīng)答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強(qiáng)度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵?jǐn)_性) of their desires on an 11point scale. Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent39。s view was greenery. Previous scholarship(學(xué)術(shù)研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90 minute group nature walks were effective at batting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don39。t have time for a 90minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person39。s wellbeing, lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research. A 2018 study from Denmark39。s Aarhus University for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person39。s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.(1)What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? results of the new study. purpose of the new study. significance of the new study. content of the new study.(2)What does the underlined word batting in paragraph 4 probably mean? ...(3)According to the passage, the new study _____. referred to exercise in nature enriched the previous research to some degree carried out by the Universit
