Question

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her views with a classroom of students.

As the sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. She paused and said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is important. Each of us comes to this world to learn, share, love, appreciate and give. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”

Her eyes beginning to water, she went on:

“So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see. It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees…”

The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and left the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school.

Take notice of something special you see on your way home today. Go barefoot on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述的是我們的老師在她的丈夫去世以后，建議我們要珍惜人生中一些很平常的小事情，因?yàn)檫@些小事情上往往會(huì)有很多值得我們懷念的事情。

1.1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后三句Each of us comes to this world to learn, share, love, appreciate and give. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.句意是：我們來到世界上是為了學(xué)習(xí)、分享、愛、、欣賞和給予。沒有人知道美妙的經(jīng)歷什么時(shí)候?qū)��?huì)結(jié)束。任何時(shí)候它都可能被帶走。所以我們要珍惜我們生活的每一刻。故選B

2.2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is important.句意是：可結(jié)束以前，我想和你們分享一個(gè)和上課沒關(guān)系的觀點(diǎn)，但我感覺很重要。所以選D

3.3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees…它可能是某人房間烤新鮮面包的味道或者是微風(fēng)稍微吹動(dòng)樹葉的聲音。所以這里劃線的詞義應(yīng)是“氣味、味道”。故選A

4.4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.句意是：隨著我們變老，我們經(jīng)常后悔的不是我們做過的事，而是沒有做過的事。所以選C.
