Question

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well，whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon，and it's their job to help stranded (擱淺) motorists，isn't it?

That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005：I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.

I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by，just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her，a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her，and was tinkering (修補) with her car's engine.

“Is there anything I can do to help？” I asked.

“No，thank you，”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it，the woman tried to give him some money，but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did；his family was sitting in the station wagon，waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often？”I asked.

“Somebody has to，”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps？”And for him，that was enough.

【解析】

1.答案　A　[推理判斷題。對比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不給這位汽車拋錨的女士以幫助，但后者卻這樣做了，因此作者通過本文想表達的思想是：無論你自己多么忙也應該給別人以幫助。]

2.2】答案　C　[推理判斷題。綜合前兩段的信息可知，作者在強調(diào)自己沒有幫助汽車拋錨的女士的原因，其中之一是作者的汽修技能很差，因此斷定，作者懷疑自己即使停下來也幫不上什么忙。]

3.3】答案　A　[推理判斷題。對比作者自己和西班牙男子所做的事情可知，后者有更充分的理由可以不給這位汽車拋錨的女士以幫助，但后者卻這樣做了，因此作者通過本文想表達的思想是：無論你自己多么忙也應該給別人以幫助。]

4.4】答案　C　[推理判斷題。綜合前兩段的信息可知，作者在強調(diào)自己沒有幫助汽車拋錨的女士的原因，其中之一是作者的汽修技能很差，因此斷定，作者懷疑自己即使停下來也幫不上什么忙。]

5.5】答案　B　[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.”可知作者想回去看看能不能幫到什么忙，說明當時是后悔沒有幫這位女士，所以才回去的。]
