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(guò)那些可能需要幫助的親戚。所以通過(guò)關(guān)鍵詞not be good, raced through, need help可知,作者聽(tīng)到電話鈴響時(shí)感到很不安。故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)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(shí)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?nèi)狈κ澄镅a(bǔ)給。故選A。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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(rèn)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?yàn)樗幌肜速M(fèi)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(shí)期收到Lesley的求助,詢問(wèn)其冰柜是否有空間存放火雞,結(jié)果卻得到Lesley幫助的故事。結(jié)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(kāi)的。故短文的最佳標(biāo)題為“你有地方放一只火雞嗎”。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(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。8.閱讀短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 If you feel sick or unfortable, you might seek out a doctor. But what to do if you don39。t quite know where you fit into this world and you39。re tired of carrying that burden alone? I answered strangers39。 questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th.

Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. It39。s OK, I offered. Do you have a question? The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: How do I know I39。m real? Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase I think, therefore I am? Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous here is one hand, here is the other, to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. Close your eyes, I said. She did. Well, did you disappear? She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. Congratulations, you39。re real. She grinned (露齒而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.(1)Why did the author show up at the entrance of the subway?
