Question

【題目】 I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India. I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者講述在印度乘車的經(jīng)歷,與一名學(xué)生的交談使他感悟很深。

【1】推理判斷題。依據(jù)第一段中The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.（在這個(gè)小機(jī)器里，從汽車旁邊飛過(guò)的感覺(jué)是:就像你在一個(gè)有小輪子的盒子里，在可怕的交通中飛馳。）可知作者描述乘motor rickshaw時(shí)使用的詞The feeling of flying by cars以及dashing through terrible traffic說(shuō)明坐這樣的車是需要勇氣的,故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。依據(jù)第三段的The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport.（當(dāng)?shù)厝嗽俅味⒅�我看。這是一輛專供當(dāng)?shù)剡\(yùn)輸?shù)幕疖�。）可�?/span>,這些人盯著他看是因?yàn)樗�不是�?dāng)?shù)厝?/span>,故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第四段The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.（當(dāng)火車到達(dá)Tilak Nagar車站時(shí)，我遇到的那個(gè)學(xué)生幫我卸下行李。他緊緊地握著我的手，用真誠(chéng)的關(guān)心和友誼注視著我的眼睛，盡管我們只見(jiàn)面了20分鐘。）的敘述可知,這個(gè)學(xué)生樂(lè)于助人,而且很真誠(chéng),是一名要參加考試的大學(xué)生,故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知本文講述的是作者第一次在印度乘火車的旅行經(jīng)歷,故選D項(xiàng)。
