18．The young boy saw me，or rather，he saw the car and quickly ran up to me，eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve，he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．"Bananas 300naira．Peanuts 200naira．"He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed，I handed him a 500naira bill．He didn't have change，so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth．
When，two weeks later，I saw the boy again，I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us．I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．"What's up？"I asked him．"I …I don't have money to buy books for school．"I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500naira bills．"Will this help？"I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5，000naira or less each year．"Thank you，sir，"he said．"Thank you very much!"
When driving home，I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．What if he's a swindler？And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better？Was I using him？Later，I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him，nor did I think to ask．
Over the next six months，I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned，I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over，the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face．
"Oh，gosh!Long time．"
"Are you in school now？"I asked．He nodded．"That's good，"I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other，and then I realized what he wanted．"Here，"I held out a 500naira bill．"Take this．"He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．"What's wrong？"I asked．"It's a gift．"He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said，"I've been waiting to give these to you．"

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，記敘了作者遇見一個男孩，他僅有12歲，但是在街上賣水果和堅果，當作者第一次見到他時，就感覺到這個小男孩遭受了很多苦難，買下了水果和堅果并且沒有要找零；再次見到男孩時作者知道了不上學的原因，毫不猶豫的把錢給了小男孩．從此以后，小男孩可以上學了，小男孩送水果給作者表達感謝．

解答 66．B．細節(jié)理解題，由第一段第二行Though he appeared to be about twelve，he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life（雖然他看上去大約12歲，似乎已經(jīng)知道了生活的艱辛）可以知道答案，故選B．
67．A．細節(jié)理解題，由第二段倒數(shù)第二行I don't have money to buy books for school（我沒有錢買書上學）．可以知道答案，所以選A．
68．B．細節(jié)理解題，由第二段第三行My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us（我的父母讓我從小就了解到自己獲得的優(yōu)越性和隨之帶來的責任）以及下文給予男孩幫助判斷作者從小就知道要幫助他人，所以選B
69．D．詞匯猜測題．由上一句"I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．（我想我的小朋友是否真的用這錢買書）"推測作者懷疑這個男孩會不會是欺騙他的，所以答案選擇cheat（騙子）．
70．C．推理判斷題，由小男孩告訴作者他沒有錢上學，這說明他誠實；小男孩為了感謝作者，給作者送水果，說明他感恩，所以選C．

點評 本文是記敘文．要通讀文章，在整體理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，關(guān)注細節(jié)：閱讀強調(diào)整體把握；解題強調(diào)依據(jù)原文細節(jié)推敲推斷．
