Question

4．Compassion （同情） is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn't help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，and the store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．if anything，he looked more pitiable，"Charge it to me，"was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft，safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed，either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者在做收銀員的時候遇到了一位可憐的老人身邊沒有現(xiàn)金和食物希望先賒賬在付錢，為了保住自己的工作，盡管可憐他作者還是拒絕了，幸虧一位男士幫助了這位老人．

解答 59．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段"．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day"可知他并非忘了帶錢，而是沒有現(xiàn)金（out of cash），新家里又沒有食物，因而想先吃食物之后再付賬；故選C．
60．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段"This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards"可知這個老人貧窮又孤獨；故選B．
61．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段"I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job"可知作者雖然可憐老人但還是拒絕的原因是他很重視他的工作不想失去；故選A．
62．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段"Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed"，說明"compassion（同情）"更注重的是"action（行動）"，說說容易做起來難；故選B．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
