2.阅读理解
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were
still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the street.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the street next to me. When a voice called from the inside, \Camacho?\I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes.
\
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. (1)How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and helpful. C. Disappointed and helpless. D. Satisfied and cheerful.
(2)From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _________. A. solving her problem at the bank B. preparing for the first night show C. learning acting in an evening school D. taking part in various city activities (3)On her way home the writer __________.
A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man D. found some homeless people following her (4)In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming? A. Someone offered to take her back home. B. A red-haired man came to see her. C. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. D. She heard someone call her name. (5)From the text, we can infer that the writer _________.
A. would stop working at night B. would give up her job at the bank C. would stay on in San Francisco D. would make friends with cleaners 【答案】(1)C (2)B (3)A (4)D (5)C
【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在忙碌的工作之后感觉十分的失望无奈,只是在她回家的路上她的钱包在不知不觉中丢了,她在回去找钱包的路上遇到了归还钱包的清洁工,这份善良唤回了她对城市的信心。
(1)推理判断题。根据文章第一段\thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me\我想过放弃表演和旧金山,城市生活对我来说真是变化太大了,可推测此时的作者是失望和无奈的;故选C。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章第一段\was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time\可知我忙于准备晚上的表演;故选B。 (3)细节理解题。根据文章第三段%until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.\可知在她回家的路上她的钱包在不知不觉中丢了;故选A。
38.细节理解题。根据文章第五段\Camacho?\thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name\可知作者觉得在做梦因为她听到了有人在喊她的名字;故选D。 (4)推理判断题。根据文章最后一段\that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other\可知作者改变了对城市的态度,不再那么失望了,因此她很可能会留在旧金山;故选C。
【点评】做题时不必拘泥于书中所呈现的语篇顺序,应遵循先易后难的原则。如可先做细节题再做推断题,因为细节题大多能直接从文中找到答案,而推断题则需对短文进行深层理解,再作判断。
