Question

【題目】 When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument(爭論) with a boy named Michael in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.

I was convinced that I was right and he was wrong, and Michael was just as convinced that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class, placed Michael on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. And she asked Michael what color the object was, “White,” he answered.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between Michael and me, this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where Michael was standing and told him to come and stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint（視角）it was white. Only from my side it was black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day. You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文作者講述了他和邁克爾爭論，都認(rèn)為自己正確，對(duì)方錯(cuò)誤。老師把一個(gè)兩面顏色的球放在桌子中間，讓他們看，然后作者讓他們互換位置在觀看，結(jié)果他們看到的顏色和第一次不一樣。這個(gè)故事告訴我們你必須站在另一個(gè)人的位置上，通過他們的眼睛看情況，才能真正理解它們。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第1段第2句“I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.（我忘記了爭論的內(nèi)容，但我從未忘記那天學(xué)到的教訓(xùn)。）”可知作者不清楚起初作者和邁克爾之間的爭論是什么；故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第3段第1句“I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black!（我不敢相信他說那東西是白色的，而它顯然是黑色的！）”可知當(dāng)作者聽到邁克爾的回答時(shí)，他感到難以置信。故選B。

【3】詞意猜測(cè)題。此句I was convinced that I was right and he was wrong, and Michael was just as convinced that I was wrong and he was right.句意是：我確信我是對(duì)的，他是錯(cuò)的，邁克爾也同樣確信我是錯(cuò)的，他是對(duì)的。根據(jù)句意可知“convinced”的意思是“確信”，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第4段第4和5句“It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint（視角）it was white. Only from my side it was black.（這是一個(gè)有兩個(gè)不同顏色邊的物體，從他的觀點(diǎn)來看，它是白色的。只有我這邊是黑色的。）”可知老師在桌子中間放了有兩種顏色的物體。故選D。
