Question

Dear Students,
I am delighted to be your guest.
I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.
In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.
Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.
Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.
In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people

試題分析：本文是一位記者在中國給學(xué)生所做的演講，講述了自己在工作的過程中所遇見的幾件感人的事情。
1.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一行Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition.可知現(xiàn)在是在中國，他是給中國的學(xué)生方便演講的，故D正確。
2.A 推理題。根據(jù)本句. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death可知該詞是與wars, earthquakes, poverty and death一樣表示災(zāi)難之類不好的詞，選項中只有A項饑荒表示的是不好的事情，故A正確。
3.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后3行But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.可知她為孩子們做了那么多的事情，說明她是一個善良的人，故C正確。
4.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)2,3段中所列舉的這兩個例子都說明這兩個人意志堅定，不怕困難，故D正確。

點評：本文是一位記者在中國給學(xué)生所做的演講，講述了自己在工作的過程中所遇見的幾件感人的事情。要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，做出一定判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話，也可是某幾句話，但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù)，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理，要根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案。
