Question

【題目】 I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn't speak much English, but understood, "Belapur Railway Station. ” I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is : as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through disorderly traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a local train to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow, I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I knew what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

【4】D

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者講述了一次在印度乘火車的經(jīng)歷。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through disorderly traffic.可知在這個(gè)小機(jī)器里，飛車的感覺是：仿佛置身于一個(gè)帶著小輪子的盒子里，在混亂的車流中穿梭。由此可推知，作者認(rèn)為乘坐機(jī)動(dòng)三輪車是需要勇氣的。故選B。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride.可知我買了票，坐20分鐘火車只要55美分。由此可知，坐火車很便宜，作者對(duì)此很吃驚。劃線部分意思為“坐火車很便宜”。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow, I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I knew what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams.If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.可知通過談話，我知道他是一名工科學(xué)生，明天就要考試了，我真誠(chéng)地祝他考試順利，因?yàn)槲抑�道考試得高分�?duì)印度學(xué)生意味著什么。如果學(xué)生得不到足夠好的分?jǐn)?shù)，那么在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的環(huán)境中，就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)將很少。由此可判斷出，那個(gè)年輕人認(rèn)真對(duì)待考試。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，作者坐著電動(dòng)人力車飛一樣的趕到了火車站，車票很便宜，在火車了遇到了一位年輕人，他們談之甚歡。由此可推知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是分享他在印度第一次坐火車的經(jīng)歷。故選D。

寫作意圖推理判斷題。作者一般不直接表明自己的意圖，而是通過文章所提供的事實(shí)和理論依據(jù)，客觀地使讀者信服某種想法和觀點(diǎn)。這種題型要求我們不僅要理解文章的內(nèi)容，同時(shí)還要具備對(duì)作者闡述問題的寫作手法進(jìn)行歸納、總結(jié)和分析的能力。推測(cè)作者的寫作意圖時(shí)，不同體裁的文章有不同的寫作目的。故事類記敘文的寫作目的通常是娛樂讀者（to entertain）；廣告類應(yīng)用文的寫作目的是推銷產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)人們（to persuade）；議論文的寫作目的是闡述論點(diǎn)（to argue）；科普文化類說明文的寫作目的是介紹知識(shí)，幫助大家廣聞博見（to inform）。如第四小題，通讀全文可知，作者坐著電動(dòng)人力車飛一樣的趕到了火車站，車票很便宜，在火車了遇到了一位年輕人，他們談之甚歡。由此可推知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是分享他在印度第一次坐火車的經(jīng)歷。故選D。
