This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar. Linda, this is Lesley. I didn39。t know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer? We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much. Sure, I responded, did your freezer break down? Not exactly, Lesley replied, but I will explain when I arrive. Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租約) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, When will you e back for all this? Lesley laughed, We don39。t want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out! Then they waved goodbye and drove away. For helping them out? We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone.

A.Who Is My Angel?B.Unexpected BargainsC.A Friend on Speaking TermsD.Do You Have Room for a Turkey?【答案】 (1)B(2)A(3)D(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,作者在困難時(shí)期意外收到一位只有點(diǎn)頭之交人的“求助”,實(shí)際上卻得到了對(duì)方的幫助。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的This could not be good. 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(guān)鍵詞not be good, raced through, need help可知,作者聽到電話鈴響時(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,從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 One night I received a Facebook message from Laura, a former classmate. Hey Steve, she said, I know you39。ve always been an animal lover. I39。ve just had a baby and I can39。t keep my mini pig. Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a twobedroom singlelevel house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It39。s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner. But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I39。d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha—her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It39。s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her. When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She plained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house. I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We
