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,作者強調(diào)我們要感激生活中的每一個溫暖,無論它們是多么的微不足道。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,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。8.Choose the one that fits best according 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 _______. A.called the children39。s parents to pick them upB.provided schoolchildren with warm sheltersC.did business with the children39。s helpD.sold bus tickets to the children(2)By saying … it wasn39。t a big deal, (in paragraph 4) the author meant that _______. A.she hadn39。t found it hard to get along with the childrenB.she hadn39。t made a lot of money from the childrenC.she hadn39。t spent plenty of time with the childrenD.she hadn39。t done anything very significant(3)According to the author, those who _______ are Doughnut Ladies. A.are always ready to help othersB.provide free doughnuts for the poorC.work in the doughnut store for a whileD.are curious about the happenings around(4)The passage suggests that _______. A.taking responsibility is a virtueB.devotion coexists with rewardC.running a business requires skillsD.acts of kindness are never too small【答案】 (1)B(2)D(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,作者講述了她在商店做兼職時,下午一群孩子總會進(jìn)入商店等公交車,雖然這給她的生意帶來了不便,但是她沒有在意,善意的對待這些孩子,比如在這些孩子丟票時給他們錢買票,下雪天給他們一些甜甜圈。她的善意得到了他人的感謝,她的孩子也得到了他人的幫助。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally ,和孩子們一起在暖和的商店里等待公交車。作者給孩子們提供了溫暖的庇護(hù)所,故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段可知作者最喜歡的兩個小孩的父親來專門找到她向她表示感謝,然后她告訴這位父親她享受和孩子們在一起的時光,這不是什么大不了的事。根據(jù)語境,作者的回答是想表達(dá)她做的事不是特別重要,只是一件小事罷了,故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“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?’”以及最后一段“That wasn39。t a police car. 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。9.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 I was getting ready to go to
