Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on。 our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a fulltime job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank. Sam opened the door and it was Mervin. There39。s a bird on the second floor, he said. It39。s in trouble. Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most mon of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄臟) your newly washed car. And it wasn39。t flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, Number two. Sam asked him to repeat that. Number two, Mervin said. The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it39。s stuck to his foot.It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, All right, then. and walked away. Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here? I said to Sam when he returned with his story. It39。s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course. Sam didn39。t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it. They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.（1）How did the author feel about the knocks?

He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it”可知，他把紙板箱倒空并用紙箱把鴿子帶回來養(yǎng)，所以推斷出Sam用紙板箱做鳥巢。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。全文介紹了Sam如何救助一只鴿子，由此可以推斷出Sam很有愛心。故選C。 【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)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Generally speaking, people like those who have a good sense of humor. Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brian39。s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this bynowfamiliar excuse wouldn39。t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brian39。s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. How do you do! he said. I39。m Brian. I39。m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn39。t the early bird get the worm? The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh. Humor is a most effe
