8.Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.If anything,he looked more pitiable,"Charge it to me,"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

63.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuitsC.
A.promised to obey the store rules                     
B.forgot to take any money with him
C.hoped to have the food first and pay later      
D.could not afford anything more expensive
64.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?B
A.kind and lucky                    B.poor and lonely
C.friendly and helpful              D.wise and disappointed
65.The writer followed the store rules becauseA.
A.he wanted to keep his present job
B.he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C.he considered the old gentleman dishonest
D.he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
66.What does the writer learn from his experience?B
A.Wealth is most important than anything else.
B.Helping others is easier said than done.
C.Experience is better gained through practice.
D.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者在做收銀員的時(shí)候遇到了一位可憐的老人身邊沒(méi)有現(xiàn)金和食物希望先賒賬在付錢,為了保住自己的工作,盡管可憐他作者還是拒絕了,幸虧一位男士幫助了這位老人.

解答 CBAB63.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段".He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day"可知他并非忘了帶錢,而是沒(méi)有現(xiàn)金(out of cash),新家里又沒(méi)有食物,因而想先吃食物之后再付賬;故選C.
64.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards"可知這個(gè)老人貧窮又孤獨(dú);故選B.
65.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job"可知作者雖然可憐老人但還是拒絕的原因是他很重視他的工作不想失去;故選A.
65.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed",說(shuō)明"compassion(同情)"更注重的是"action(行動(dòng))",說(shuō)說(shuō)容易做起來(lái)難;故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).
