7.That cold January night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was,walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre.With opening night only a week ago,I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked,I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings,I felt very small and cold.I began running,both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (搶劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房間),I heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly,half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still,the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes,my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search,I heard the garbage truck (垃圾車) pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside,"Alisa Camacho?"I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name?The door opened,and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye."Is this what you're looking for?"he asked,holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3A.M.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night,but I had gotten my wallet back.I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were welling to help each other.

點評 閱讀理解是考查語篇理解能力.?嫉念}型有:推理判斷題;主旨大意題;細(xì)節(jié)理解題;猜測詞意題.近幾年又出現(xiàn)了兩種新的考查方式:寫作態(tài)度判斷題和文章結(jié)構(gòu)題.解題時,在讀懂文章的基礎(chǔ)上,還有特別注意掌握題型的特征,尤其是細(xì)節(jié)題和推斷題不可混淆:細(xì)節(jié)題是文章信息的再現(xiàn);推斷題是文章信息的提。绢}是廣告類文章,考查主要是以細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題要注意常用的出題陷阱有:夸大,縮小,張冠李戴,偷梁換柱,無中生有等,做題時要看清看準(zhǔn).
