Question

【題目】My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day, he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me.

Western New York had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet (雨夾雪), or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child, I looked forward to the daily treats, but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else.

My grandfather touched many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her, play bridge, or just chat. It lasted for years without stop. She had few visitors. Even a hitch-hiker who had traveled by getting free rides from passing cars told me of my grandfather’s influence on his life. My grandfather had picked him up for free and took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless, my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket.

I was touched, but not surprised to know all of the touching stories from which I understood my grandfather’s selflessness. I have since tried to learn from him to help others. Although he died years ago, we still respect him.

試題分析：這是一篇記敘文，記敘了作者對于祖父的一些經(jīng)歷，祖父每日給我送來美食。同時也介紹了祖父幫助他人，無私奉獻(xiàn)的實例。從而作者學(xué)習(xí)到祖父的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)，為此感到自豪和感動。

【1】事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile可知祖父來每天步行來我們家是為了看望自己的兒子和孫子。

【2】概括總結(jié)題。根據(jù)The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him可知祖父很善良，而且樂于助人，以及I understood my grandfather’s selflessness可知他很無私。C項并未提及。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)解釋who had traveled by getting free rides from passing cars 可知B項最佳。

【4】事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)he still walked the half mile every single day可知B項錯誤，She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home可知祖父看望那個老婦人是在她家里而不是在醫(yī)院，C項不對，又有He later found a job in a supermarket可知年輕人自己找到的工作而不是祖父幫他找的，D項也不對。

【5】事實細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段I was touched, but not surprised to know all of the touching stories 以及I have since tried to learn from him to help others可知B項最佳。
