Question

【題目】A

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment—to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

Most of the class might be considered economically disadvantaged, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her student’s art. And they were.

But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, frail and unhappy. As other children played at recess, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.

Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be？ One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.

When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.

Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.

In fact, people might not always say “thanks”. But they’ll remember the hand that reaches out.

試題分析：文章大意：文章主要講述通過(guò)感恩節(jié)老師布置任務(wù)的故事說(shuō)明盡管人們很少對(duì)幫助說(shuō)謝謝，但是他們會(huì)將那份幫助銘記于心，充滿感激的。（文章材料出自網(wǎng)絡(luò)，試題原創(chuàng)）

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 依據(jù)文章第一段“to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.”可知老師布置的任務(wù)是為了表示對(duì)別人幫助的感謝，故選B.

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 依據(jù)文章第四段中的“When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty han”可知小男孩的畫(huà)之所以特別就在于他只畫(huà)了一只手。A項(xiàng)依據(jù)文章第二段中的“These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her student’s art. And they were.”可知錯(cuò)誤；B項(xiàng)依據(jù)文章第三段的內(nèi)容可以判斷小男孩不喜歡與別的小孩一起玩，所以錯(cuò)誤；D項(xiàng)依據(jù)文章第六段可以知道是老師問(wèn)小男孩畫(huà)的內(nèi)容而不是小男孩主動(dòng)說(shuō)的，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

【3】D 詞義猜測(cè)題 依據(jù)上下文判斷“capture”在這表示的是“引起”之意與D項(xiàng)意思一致。A項(xiàng)表示的是“影響”；B項(xiàng)是“反映”而C項(xiàng)是“征服”的意思，故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】C 主旨要義題 依據(jù)文章最后兩段可以看出主要是老師對(duì)于小男孩幫助的描繪，A項(xiàng)表示的“言語(yǔ)勝于行動(dòng)”正好相反，故不正確；B項(xiàng)表示“時(shí)光一去不復(fù)返”顯然與主旨不一致；C項(xiàng)是“日久見(jiàn)人心”，平時(shí)的點(diǎn)滴可以看出老師的關(guān)愛(ài)和幫助，與內(nèi)容一致；D項(xiàng)是“愛(ài)屋及烏”之意，意思上不符，故選C項(xiàng)。
