Question

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you are such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice (臨終醫(yī)院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I'm tired. Let's go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers.” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

試題分析：文章講述的是作者去接了一個(gè)即將即開這個(gè)世界的老人去醫(yī)院，路上對(duì)老人非常友善，并免費(fèi)帶老人去市中心轉(zhuǎn)了一圈。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題：從第四段的句子：She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”可知這個(gè)人幫助老人很多，因?yàn)樗�想自己的媽媽也被這么對(duì)待，選D
小題2:考查整體推斷的能力。老人請(qǐng)求開車穿過市區(qū)(Could you drive through downtown?)，然后，她說她要去臨終醫(yī)院（I’m on my way to a hospital.）。在接下來的兩個(gè)小時(shí)，她在車上最后觀看了市區(qū)的景象，回憶了她年輕時(shí)的情景。最后她到達(dá)了臨終醫(yī)院。選B。
小題3:考查簡(jiǎn)單推斷的能力。從文章最后一段的句子：She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.” 可知老人對(duì)司機(jī)做的事情很感激。選C。
小題4:考查主旨題。從全篇文章看出租車司機(jī)沒有收老人任何費(fèi)用，很善良，使得老人感到很欣慰。同時(shí)老人也善良，主動(dòng)要付給出租車司機(jī)費(fèi)用，也使得出租車司機(jī)很感動(dòng)。所以文章要表達(dá)的是：一個(gè)善舉會(huì)給人們帶來快樂。選C。
