I was coming back home late at night in a ”Sharing” minivan. In Hyderabad, India, it is a cheap and quick means of transport. The van drivers ply (攬客) as many as 13 people at times in a vehicle which is designed for the transport of 8 people.Our van was crowded as well. People were getting off and on at many places.

On the journey, one girl waved her hand to ask the driver to stop. While getting down, she tripped and fell.None of us notice it,as it was dark. The driver was waiting for her to pay. It was then that we saw the girl was on her knees by the side of the road. Another passenger and l got down and held her up.

Even in pain, the girl held up a note and asked us to pay the driver.The other passenger took the note and paid the driver.My stop was a few hundred meters away. I decided to stay with her till she was fine. I paid the driver for myself and he took off with the other passengers.

I neither knew her nor did I know what to do, but I was there, saying some comforting words to a stranger in pain. I asked her to stand still for a few minutes. We then looked for a place for her to sit. From out of nowhere, her friend joined us.

We made her sit in a nearby grassland and her friend rushed to get a taxi. In the meantime, she examined her leg and her ankle had swollen up (腫脹). It looked like a sprain (扭傷). Once her friend came back, they took the taxi and rushed to a hospital. Before they left, the girl thanked me and said they could manage as it was only a small sprain.

I do not know if I did enough. But I feel I gave some comfort to her in a small way.

Did the story happen in India?

1.

How many people did the drivers ply in fact?

2.

Why did no one notice the girl?

3.

What did the writer do for the girl?

4.

Where did the girl go after she left the bus stop?

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:湖北省武漢市2017年中考英語(yǔ)模擬押題卷 2 題型:閱讀理解

I had unpleasant experiences in a summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident,

leaving my mother, my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time, I was a senior high

school student. After my father’s funeral, I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in

a factory.

I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college, but I couldn`t. I only hoped

to bring up my two younger brothers. Life was not easy for me, for I can’t afford their tuition

even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection, I thought

I was a slave (奴隸) to the fate.

Later on, something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself

in the rain and walked slowly in the street.

Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue

umbrella. Then I noticed a middle-aged man with one leg on crutch standing behind me. He

said to me, “Why not run without an umbrella? If you didn`t run, you would get drenched.”

The man told me that he was promoter. He once dreamed of being a policeman, but an

accident ruined his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs, it was a

wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn`t lose heart and still “ran” on the road

of life…

I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and I became an assurance

representative (擔(dān)保代表). After two years’ running, I did well and my family condition turned

better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.

Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you couldn`t find a way to

prevent you from being wet, you would be overwhelmed. But if you decide to get rid of it,

you`ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.

1.What happened to the writer at the beginning of the story?

A. His father died in a car accident six years ago.

B. He had to drop out of school to look after his sick mother.

C. He couldn`t afford his two brothers’ tuition even if he worked from day to night.

D. He didn`t have money to hold the funeral for his father.

2.About the middle-aged man with one leg on crutch, which of the following is not true?

A. He had dreamed of being a policeman.

B. He was a promoter.

C. He lost one leg in an accident.

D. He had a good job which was suitable for him very well.

3.What does the underlined mean in Chinese?

A. wet B. very dry C. quite nervous D. really comfortable

4.What’s the main idea of the sixth paragraph?

A. The writer didn`t want to listen to the middle-aged man and left without any word.

B. The writer made friends with the middle-aged man and they got on well with

each other.

C. The writer had to give up his dream and became a promoter as the middle-aged man.

D. The writer learned from the middle-aged man and the situation got better.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Run out of the Rainy Season of Your Life.

B. Care for the Disabled Person.

C. Try to Be Independent.

D. Get to Know More About Middle-aged People.
