17.Years ago,I lived in a building in a large city.The next building only was a few feet away from mine.They was a woman lived there,and I had never met her,yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon,sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by,I began to notice that her window was dirty.Everything was unclear through the dirty window.I would say to myself."I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window.It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished he cleaning,I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.What a surprise!Across the way,the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看見).Her window was clean!

Tat was quite an important lesson for me.How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart,thrugh my own shortcomings?Since then,whenever I wanted to judge (評判) someone,I asked myself first,"Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

分析 多年前,作者喜歡通過窗戶看隔壁樓里的一位婦女看書.有一天他注意到那位婦女家的窗戶臟了,覺得很討厭.決定擦自己的,擦完之后,坐下來一看,才知道是自己窗戶臟的緣故.這件事情給作者的觸動很大,在以后的生活中,每次他想批判別人的時候,都捫心自問:"我是正在通過自己的臟窗戶看別人們?"
解答 28.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段"Her window is clean"可知是我的窗戶臟了.故選B.
29.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段"What a surprise!Across the way,the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible."在對面,坐在窗邊的女人清晰可見.可知窗戶很干凈,故選D.
30.A.詞義理解題.由后面I had been criticizing (批評) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window,可知是我明白了過來,原來是自己的窗戶臟,Cheer up意為"歡呼",grow light意為"變明亮",get dark意為"黑暗"均不符合題意.故選A.
31.C.推理判斷題.本文講述了作者注意到有位婦女家的窗戶臟了,覺得很討厭.決定擦自己的,擦完之后,坐下來一看,才知道是自己窗戶臟的緣故.我們可以學習到"批評別人的時候先看看自己".故選C.
點評 本篇內(nèi)容比較適中,對于考生的能力要求不高,只要認真細致閱讀,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)答案.可以先看題目再讀文章,這樣可以提高閱讀的速度.還要準確定位考點.特別是推理題,要結(jié)合上下文的暗示做題,掌握方法是關(guān)鍵.
