My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皺眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.
小題1:From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.
A．waiterB．a(chǎn)ctorC．beggarD．worker
小題2:The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.
A．the man was not friendly
B．he had fired the man before
C．the man had stolen something from the restaurant
D．he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food
小題3:From the passage, we can infer the man _____.
A．was thankful for their kind act
B．felt ashamed and slipped away
C．was hungry and ate a lot of food
D．was too proud to accept their offer
小題4:The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A．wasted my moneyB．moved me deeply
C．made me feel sorryD．made me very happy

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:D

試題分析：本文講述了自己在旅行途中幫助了一位乞丐的故事來告訴我們幫助別人才能讓自己真正的快樂起來。
小題1:C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段2,3行He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing.說明他的衣著很不整潔，沒有穿鞋子衣服也很破舊，說明他最可能是一個(gè)乞丐。故C正確。
小題2:D 推理題。根據(jù)第四段2,3,4行The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.”說明經(jīng)理很擔(dān)心這個(gè)乞丐付不起錢，我這樣說就是為了打消他的顧慮。故D項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:A 推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段4,5行We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!”說明這個(gè)乞丐對作者的善意的行為很感激。故A正確。
小題4:D 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后2行that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.說明這樣的行為讓我感覺很開心，故D正確。
點(diǎn)評：真正的快樂來自于幫助他人。本文細(xì)節(jié)題居多，答題時(shí)在文章找到對應(yīng)的地方，用筆進(jìn)行標(biāo)記，這有利于后期有時(shí)間檢查時(shí)可以立刻找到答案的位置。仔細(xì)理解作者所講的意思，再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，通過排除法和自己對全文的把握，選出正確答案。

I had a friend who visited me from out of town and I wanted to show him the CN Tower. It was one of the tallest structures on the earth. So I thought it would offer a(n)   36  sight.

When we got there, we went around the   38     of the tower and saw the hard wire fence  39     to the structure serving as a barrier.

I walked on the    48   and looked around and thought about how  49   the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no  50   , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we  51    and exactly how many of them are actually illusions. I thought about all the things we   52    ourselves from doing because we have  53   ourselves into thinking there’s risk. I thought about all the things that I still have yet to do that appeared  54   . I was glad to discover that although fear isn’t a stranger to me, my desire to live a life without    55   has a much stronger pull.

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪漢） has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   36  by tramps to inform their  37  whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to  38  them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite  39  one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be  40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not been a   42  in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,  43  a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44  a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with  46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47  his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The  48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt  49  for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the  53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his  54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried  55 , whistling as he went along.
