【題目】In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便車).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

【1】The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .

A. her work delayed her trip to Sydney

B. she missed the only train back home

【3】The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

【4】What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】試題分析:本文是一篇記敘文，題材是社會生活。作者講述了25年前自己錯過了唯一的一趟回家的火車，她想搭便車回家但沒有人為她停車。最后一位名叫Gordon的人把自己請到家中吃了午飯并幫助自己找到了回家的便車。25年后的一天搭自己便車的老人竟然是那位名叫Gordon的人。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。用題干中“hitch a ride…1978 ”定位到第一段，答案在第一段最后兩句the only one train adayback to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride唯一的一趟回家的火車已經(jīng)離開，所以我想搭便車回家。，故選B。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。B, C, D三選項均與第二段不符，答案選A.He helped the girl find a ride, 與第二段最后一句After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.他還主動幫助我找到回家的便車，故選A。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier可知，我認(rèn)為這是回報幾十年前給我?guī)椭娜说挠忠淮螜C會，故選D。

【4】C寫作意圖題。綜合分析全文內(nèi)容，25年前我得到Gordon的幫助，25年后Gordon又偶然地得到我的幫助。所以作者想通過這個故事，告訴我們：給予有時會產(chǎn)生好的結(jié)果,故選C。

【題目】Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes (話匣子) to take the term "handsfree" to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as "Talk to the Hand" and cost 1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.

Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget (小玩意) recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which took up the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.

Mr. Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves — one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to 260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles (操縱臺), MP3 players and digital cameras.

Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, "I hope that my 'Talk to the Hand' project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim."

Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, "There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away."

【1】The underlined word "O2" in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.

A. an artist B. a mobile

C. a company D. an exhibition

【2】 Consumers can buy the "Talk to the Hand" gloves ______.

A. in the exhibition

B. from Mr. Miles

C. after they recycle the gadgets

D. when they are mass-produced

【3】The purpose of the project is to _______.

A. promote the technology of IT

B. enable people to talk to their hands

C. raise peoples awareness of recycling

D. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. New mobiles which are fashionable.

B. Outdated handsets which are upgraded.

C. Outdated gadgets which can be used for recycling.

D. New gloves which can be used for making phone calls.
