Question

【題目】This fourth of July I moved into a new house with my wife, Nicole. Nicole and I met through a series of coincidences that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to happen.

The day Nicole and I met, we talked about the Yankees. In the restaurant where we sat, the first game between the Yanks and Tampa Bay was being shown on television. Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating (約會(huì)) me. “My dad wouldn’t like me dating anyone who isn’t,” she said.

Nicole’s dad, Ira, used to be a coach for the Yankees. Many years ago, a colleague (同事) of his was leaving and packing up his office. The only thing left unpacked was a photo on the wall. It was a picture of Sparky Lyle, a famous baseball player. Sparky had signed the photo on the bottom.

“You’re not taking that?” Ira asked. “You want it?” his colleague offered. “Sure!” Ira said. He jumped at the chance to have a signed photo from a great player who had helped the team win two World Series.

Ira told me the story after the movers had gone. He then said to me, “Adam, when I first learned who was dating my daughter, that photo came into my mind,” he said. “But by now, I know for sure you’re meant to have it.” He then presented me with a box. I tore it open. Inside was the signed photo of Sparky Lyle which I had lost years ago.

“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”. It was picked up by Nicole’s dad years before I’d even met her. The perfect gift — a sign only making me believe what I already knew ... I was meant for Nicole and her family all along.

【解析】

試題分析:本文是一篇記述文，講述了Adam和他的妻子Nicole相識(shí)是因?yàn)?/span>Nicole知道Adam是一個(gè)棒球迷，Nicole的父親Ira曾經(jīng)是Yankees棒球隊(duì)的教練，Ira因同事留下的著名棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員Sparky Lyle的簽名照片而使Ira帶領(lǐng)隊(duì)伍獲得兩次冠軍,恰巧這個(gè)簽名照是Adam曾經(jīng)遺失的。

【1】D詞義推測(cè)題。由第一段“that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to

happen.”可知Adam認(rèn)為這件事十分巧合，有種難以置信的力量使這件事發(fā)生，故選D。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating me. Nicole同意成為Adam的女朋友的重要原因是Adam是個(gè)棒球迷，故選B。

【3】C推理判斷題。由第四段“You want it?” his colleague offered.可以判斷Ira從他的同事得到了這張照片，故選C。

【4】D推理判斷題。由最后一段“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”.可以判斷這個(gè)由Sparky Lyle簽名的照片最先是屬于Adam的，故選D。
