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給。故選A。 (3)考查細節(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(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(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。8.請認真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him. After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without promise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment. For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer39。s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever. As Fleming waited in Jamaica for Anne39。s divorce to bee final, he wrote the first draft of a novel, Casino Royale. Fleming39。s career as a writer deserves more examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into some of the greatest thrillers ever written. Fleming incurred the respect of authors as diverse as Raymond Chandler, Kingsley Amis, and Edith Sitwell. His fans included John, Jackie, and Bobby Kennedy, and his social circle included Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Evelyn Waugh, and Somerset Maugham. Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short nonfiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the Flemingflair ensured exciting reading. He wrote the Atticus column for the Sunday Times, proving a wonderful conduit for inside intelligence information, and clever rebukes (指責(zé)). Regardless of book sales or family obligations, Fleming managed to live the life he wanted. As the years passed, his passion for golfing increased so he took more time with it. Fleming39。s longterm fascination with America grew, so he traveled there more often. Ian Fleming39。s full life caught up with him through his heart. It may be that years of drinking and smoking took their toll, or that the butterrich cooking Fleming loved was the culprit. Or maybe it was just genetics. Whatever the cause, Fleming39。s health declined in the late 1950s. This plus anxieties in the marriage increased Fleming39。s depression. With the success of Bond, the world came knocking at Fleming39。s door, and he had a harder time shutting those out that he did not want in his life. Nonetheless, Fleming fought the loosing battle of his weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fire. He continued to drink and smoke, making some excuses but not many. He wrote books he wanted to read, and traveled the world with style and authority. By this time, Fleming had already earned his own fortune, created his own identity, and ruled his own literary empire.(1)According to the second paragraph, Fleming accepted the job offered by Kemsley newspaper ________.
