Then I sent a joy filled with Thank you heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.”中的smiled和“a joy filled with Thank you”可知,作者對自己的工作很滿意。故選B。 (4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of warmth for others every chance we get.”可知,作者強調我們要感激生活中的每一個溫暖,無論它們是多么的微不足道。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,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(jù)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.閱讀短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 At first, Michael Surrell didn39。t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors39。 home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house, when they got a call from one of his daughters: The house next door is on fire! He went to investigate. That39。s when he saw two women and a girl panicstricken on their doorway. The baby39。s in there! one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. The baby was 8yearold Tiara, the woman39。s granddaughter. Entering the burning house was like running into a bucket of black paint, Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to struggle blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been risky for anyone, but for Surrell, who has lung disease, they were lifethreatening. After a few minutes in the smokefilled house, he withdrew outside to catch his breath. Where is Tiara? he asked desperately. The second floor, The woman shouted back. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar design to his, Surrell found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He was already out of breath. Then a soft but distinct moan appeared. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. Finally, he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara into his arms. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. It39。s a small price to pay, Surrell says.
