Question

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【解析】

試題分析: 這篇文章講述了作者一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情。作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包，正當著急的時候，有人打電話給送了回來，原來是那家人的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件，通過這件事作者一家不僅找回了丟失的文件也找回了對人們的信任。

1.B考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段的Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house…可知：Rashid到了悉尼后，計劃找房。故選B。

2.C考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第第五段的… found a pile of unfamiliar papers. … At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.可知：這個女孩的父母是從他文件總的一封信中得到了Rashid的電話號碼。故選C。

3.D考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段第一句That family not only restored the important documents to us…可知：最后一段中的劃線詞意思是“歸還”，“這家人把這些重要的文件歸還了我們”。故選D。

4.C考查主旨大意。一般情況下垃圾箱里的東西是沒有用的，但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等規(guī)整好送還給作者的丈夫，這些別人眼里的垃圾對作者的丈夫來說卻是重要的。故選C。

考點：記敘文。
