【題目】閱讀理解
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
C.she was going home for her holidays
D.the town was far away from Sydney
（2）Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?
A.He helped the girl find a ride.
B.He gave the girl a ride back home.
C.He bought sandwiches for the girl.
D.He watched the girl for three hours.
（3）The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .
A.she realized he was Gordon
B.she had known him for decades
C.she was going to the nearby town
D.she wanted to repay the favour she once got
（4）What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?
A.Those who give rides will be repaid.
B.Good manners bring about happiness.
C.Giving sometimes produces nice results.
D.People should offer free rides to others.

【答案】
（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，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)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“the only one train a day back 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)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“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)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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(jī)會，故選D。
(4)考查寫作意圖。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】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tire. It sounds absurd．But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲勞). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!
If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins (霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情緒的)attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further, He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated— those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
（1）What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood
B.Albert Einstein didn't feel worn after a day's work
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue
D.A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins
（2）According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A.Challenging mental work
B.Unpleasant emotions
C.Endless tasks
D.Physical labor
（3）What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' idea?
A.He agrees with them
B.He doubts them
C.He argues against them
D.He hesitates to accept them
