Question

【題目】 I’m going through it right now. Last night one of our three family dogs was hit and killed by a car in front of my mother’s house. The dogs became, more or less, my mother’s surrogate children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mother far more than the others.

She is extremely shocked. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother bear another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life. In the midst of all of this, I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but it’s not.

I’ll start by stating it was not his fault. The dog ran after a deer into the road at night. In an effort not to hit the deer with his car, he changed direction, not seeing the dog, resulting in its death. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget.

In my eyes, he did the right thing. The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car to preserve its dignity, and carried it up to my mother’s front door.

He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He comforted her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in any way he could.

Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog accidentally. What he really did was spare my mother, and potentially my sister, from coming across a horrible scene themselves while searching for the dog. He had so many choices that were far easier to make than what he chose. He did the right thing and for that, thank you, Stranger. You restored my faith in humanity.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者媽媽最喜愛的一只狗被一名司機(jī)撞死了，但事故之后司機(jī)并沒有逃掉，而是將死去的狗包裹好送到作者媽媽的家里的事。當(dāng)時(shí)司機(jī)很傷心并向作者的家人解釋了事情的經(jīng)過。司機(jī)的這一做法得到了作者的充分諒解。作者也從這件事中恢復(fù)了對(duì)人性的信心。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中The one that was killed had bonded with my mother far more than the others.可知死去的那只小狗和我媽媽的關(guān)系比其他的狗更加親密。由此可知，這只小狗應(yīng)該是媽媽最喜歡的一只。故選C。

【2】

句意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文She is extremely shocked. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother bear another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life.In the midst of all of this, I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle,可知她震驚了。我愛這只狗，但現(xiàn)在我真正的悲傷是看到我的母親在經(jīng)歷了生命中的一切之后又承受了另一場(chǎng)悲劇。由此可知，“我”愛這只狗，但“我”真正的悲傷卻是源于不得不看著母親在經(jīng)歷了生活中的一切之后，還要忍受另一場(chǎng)悲劇。在這一切之中，“我”又不得不真誠(chéng)地為司機(jī)鼓掌，雖然“我”認(rèn)為這種感覺不對(duì)，但事實(shí)并非如此。即劃線句子的意思是“作者認(rèn)為贊揚(yáng)司機(jī)是明智的”。故選B。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He comforted her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in any way he could.可知他顯然在發(fā)抖，非常不安。他把發(fā)生的事告訴了我母親，她立刻崩潰了。他以一個(gè)陌生人所能做的最好的方式安慰她，和她一起等著，而我姐姐則跑回了家。他留下了他的信息，并表示要盡他所能提供幫助。由此可推知，那位司機(jī)一直對(duì)于小狗的死亡感到傷心，同時(shí)他又安慰作者的家人，司機(jī)既為小狗的死亡感到自責(zé)，但同時(shí)又體貼作者的家人。故選A。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget.可知他本可以輕松地繼續(xù)他的旅程，但他做了一件事，我希望我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記。以及第四段In my eyes, he did the right thing. The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car to preserve its dignity, and carried it up to my mother’s front door.可知在我看來，他做得對(duì)。司機(jī)把車停在路邊，小心翼翼地用毯子把我們的狗裹了起來，這是他從車?yán)锬贸鰜淼�，以保護(hù)它的尊嚴(yán)，然后把它帶到我母親的前門。由此可推知，雖然司機(jī)導(dǎo)致了小狗死亡，但是司機(jī)的表現(xiàn)卻讓作者感到他是一位勇于承擔(dān)責(zé)任的人。故D項(xiàng)“承擔(dān)責(zé)任是最好的策略”的觀點(diǎn)作者會(huì)認(rèn)同。故選D。
