"Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office．I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker．Congratulations!"Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job．

Answer 1

分析 俗話說：贈人玫瑰，手留余香．吉米冒著求職面試遲到的危險去幫助一個老人修車，結(jié)果證明，他在幫助別人的同時，也幫助了自己．

解答 31．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中的"but he lost his job a few months ago"可知，吉米找工作是因為他失業(yè)了，所以選A．
32．D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段，尤其是其中的"While waiting for…h(huán)e saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car．Obviously there was something wrong with the car．"可知，他看到一位老人的車出故障了．故選D．
33．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．前文說到在修完車后他回絕了老人修理費；再根據(jù)老人所說"It's the least I could do．Please，I insist"，可知老人是因為感激而主動送他去面試場的．故選D．
34．B　推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段中的"Jimmy's heart sank．‘With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？'"可知，吉米感覺自己沒有通過面試的希望．所以選B．
35．C　推理判斷題．通讀全文可知，吉米在去面試的路上幫助了一位車出了故障的老人，而老人剛好是那家公司面試他的人，故吉米順利得到了那份工作．吉米的好心得到了好的回報．故選C．

點評 在閱讀時要抓住文章的主題和細(xì)節(jié)，分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，挖掘文章的深層含義，對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機，事件中的因果關(guān)系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析，進一步增強理解能力，抓住材料實質(zhì)性的東西．
