【題目】I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (滅火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.

I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.

We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇跡) of the modern flight.

【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful. B. Fearful.

C. Doubtful. D. Admiring.

【2】 How did the author like her roommate’s job?

A. It was the same as hers.

B. It was more interesting than hers.

C. It was easier than hers.

D. It was more serious than hers.

【3】Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she’d like to earn more money.

【4】What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析:作者是一名飛機乘務員,她欽佩Mother Teresa,她希望自己像她一樣為人們多做一些事情。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.我26歲,我很清楚我從來都不會趕上Mother Teresa,但我想做一些事情像他一樣幫助人們?芍髡邔other Teresa是欽佩和羨慕的。故選D。

【2】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第三句I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (滅火器) to put out the fire.我有一個做服務員的室友,她只是把一支蠟燭和一塊桌布在燃燒,而我要用滅火器把火撲滅?芍矣训墓ぷ鞅茸髡叩墓ぷ饕菀,故選C。

【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第三句If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.如果我飛,其他某人就會和他們的孩子在一起。一個飛機場的圣誕節(jié)可能是令人沮喪的,但這小事情會產(chǎn)生大意義?赏浦髡呦氤蔀橐幻幸獾暮献髡,故選B。

【4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段特別是第二句It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t.呈現(xiàn)微笑,假裝微笑當他們不是的時候和最后一句You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”你會迫不及待地關掉空中乘務員的聲音,找點東西吃,沒有任何人說“對不起”?芍藙諉T也是人,也是有情感的。故選B。

【名師點撥】

.推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎上,做出一定的推理判斷,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話,也可能是某幾句話,所以,推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude indicate等標志性詞語。 這種題型主要包括細節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題。比如第28小題,推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段特別是第二句It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t.呈現(xiàn)微笑,假裝微笑當他們不是的時候和最后一句You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”你會迫不及待地關掉空中乘務員的聲音,找點東西吃,沒有任何人說“對不起”?芍藙諉T也是人,也是有情感的。故選B。

It was almost five years since I began to learn English. I’m glad to say I’m getting along well with it. However, first I came across a lot of difficulties. I couldn’t pronounce English sounds good, nor could I remember the words I had learned. In class, I couldn’t understand that the teacher had said. I almost lost my heart when the teacher said to me, “Keeping on and you will do well.” I was greatly encouraging. I started working hard at English. With the help by my teacher and classmates, I made some progresses. I’m very pleased, but I will work harder.

【題目】Maybe you are an ordinary student. 1 This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

Make good use of your time in class. 3 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

5 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. This will help you understand the next class.

B. You probably think you will never be a top student.

C. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

F. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

G. Make full use of spare time to take note of what the teacher says in class.
