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.

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another39。s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollarbill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend, she said, and we were both a bit teary. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used, and thought, I39。ll give that to my friend.

A.In the back of her wallet.B.In a little pencil case.C.In the pocket of her raincoat.D.In the layer of her suitcase.(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The author became rich all of a sudden.B.The author39。s friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C.The author39。s friend was not touched by her story.D.The author felt unfortable when receiving the bill.(4)What can be the best title for the text? A.A crown coinB.The help to a friendC.A hard lifeD.A gift from my father【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,父母結(jié)婚時,父親送給母親一枚1937年的王冠硬幣,讓母親時刻感到他的關(guān)心和愛。作者結(jié)婚時,丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬幣,然后作者又運(yùn)用這枚王冠硬幣的影響(代表了另一個人的關(guān)心和愛),送給一個經(jīng)濟(jì)困難的朋友,并把一張百元紙幣放在錢包里保護(hù)她。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.可知,結(jié)婚時父親送給母親一枚1937年王冠硬幣意味著母親總會覺得父親在保護(hù)自己,并且需要錢時,她總會有錢,也就說這枚硬幣代表了父親對母親的關(guān)心和愛,故選C。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒
