My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help可知,這可能不是什么好事。我的腦子里飛快地掠過那些可能需要幫助的親戚。所以通過關鍵詞not be good, raced through, need help可知,作者聽到電話鈴響時感到很不安。故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的 We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much.和最后一段中的Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try可知,我們冰箱的空間很多,事實是太多的空間。冰箱里面都是我們渴望而不可及的昂貴的食品。所以第2段下劃線的句子表明他們缺乏食物補給。故選A。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of.可知,他們認為丟掉這些好食物是可恥的,于是決定把食物送給她能想到的任何人。所以Lesley為什么給作者打電話是因為她不想浪費食物。故選D。 (4)考查主旨大意。短文主要講述了作者一家在困難時期收到Lesley的求助,詢問其冰柜是否有空間存放火雞,結果卻得到Lesley幫助的故事。結合文章中提到的Do you have room for a turkey?可知,短文是圍繞著“你有地方放一只火雞嗎?”而展開的。故短文的最佳標題為“你有地方放一只火雞嗎”。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上,進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970, my husband, who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another39。s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollarbill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend, she said, and we were both a bit teary. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used, and thought, I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.(1)What did the 1937 crown coin from the author39。s father mean to her mother? A.His concern for her.B.His pity and protection for her.C.His care and love for her.D.His pride and respect for her.(2)Where did the author39。s friend keep the $ 100 dollarbill? A.In the back of her wallet.B.In a little pencil case.C.In the pocket of her raincoat.D.In the layer of her suitcase.(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The author became rich all of a sudden.B.The author39。s friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C.The author39。s friend was not touched by her story.D.The author felt unfortable when receiving the bill.(4)What can be the best title for the text? A.A crown coinB.The help to a friendC.A hard lifeD.A gift from my father【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,父母結婚時,父親送給母親一枚1937年的王冠硬幣,讓母親時刻感到他的關心和愛,作者結婚時,丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬幣,然后作者又運用這枚王冠硬幣的影響(代表了另一個人的關心和愛)送給一個經濟困難的朋友一張百元紙幣放在錢包里保護她。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.可知,結婚時父親送給母親一枚1937年王冠硬幣意味著母親總會覺得父親在保護自己,并且需要錢時,她總會有錢,也就說這枚硬幣代表了父親對母親的關心和愛,故選C。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據倒數第二段中的so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins可知,作者的朋友把那張100美元紙幣放在了小文具盒里,故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used, and thought, I39。ll give that to my friend.可知,作者將會把那個自己從未用過的小錢包送給朋友,故選B。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據第一段中的“When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it.”父母結婚時,父親送給母親一枚1937年的王冠硬幣,讓母親時刻感到他的關心和愛,文章由此而展開,作者結婚時,丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬幣,然后作者又運用這枚王冠硬幣的影響(代表了另一個人的關心和愛)送給一個經濟困難的朋友一張百元紙幣放在錢包里保護她,全文都是圍繞“王冠硬幣”而展開,故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上,進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。9.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. After some blood tests, Dr Stubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. You have systemic lupus, he said matteroffactly. Lupus, he continued, is an autoimmune disease and …. I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children. Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway. As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression. Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms tiredness and joint painwere both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.160
