Question

A few years ago, I moved into a new house in Los Angeles. Soon after, a family moved in next door. It wasn’t the best of times for me. I had just divorced(離婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard. One night, I heard someone from the yard next door, “Tom ! How are you, Tom? ” 

I couldn’t see anybody through the trees, but I answered, “I’ m good.”

“Good!” said the voice.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“Eric.” Then I heard someone say, “Eric, don’t bother him.”

“Okay!” Eric said. “Talk to you tomorrow!”                                                                           

Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(億萬(wàn)富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group.

One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor. My son’s an actor, too. And he’s very good. I want you to write a movie for him. He wants to do something like True lies.” That’s the movie I made in 1994. His father has given Eric the great gif of confidence. He believes he can do anything he wants. He also offered to fund the movie. And that’s how The Kid & I, which opens in November, began.

Well, I really have to say that opportunity(機(jī)會(huì))lies anywhere.

試題分析：

1.細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段I had just divorced(離婚) from my second wife, and I wasn’t working. I’d come home each day and sit by myself in the backyard.中可知作者和他的第二任妻子離婚了，也沒(méi)有工作，每天獨(dú)自坐在后院里。故選C

2.細(xì)節(jié)題。第八段One day, Alec called me and said, “I know you are an actor.可知，作者是一名演員。故選B

3.細(xì)節(jié)題。第七段Months later, on Halloween, we finally met face to face. Eric came to the door dressed like a rap star. We became friends. We’d hang out in our yards, and Eric, who was almost 17 at the time and look liked a 13-year-old, would tell me his ideas and dreams. Eric’s dad, Alec Gores, is a billionaire(億萬(wàn)富翁), the head of Gores Technology Group. 在萬(wàn)圣節(jié)上，Eric的裝扮像一個(gè)說(shuō)唱歌手，他的父親是個(gè)億萬(wàn)富翁，是戈?duì)柨萍技瘓F(tuán)的總裁。并沒(méi)有說(shuō)，他只和他父親生活在一起，也未提到他感到過(guò)寂寞。故選B

4.推斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段，Eric的父親知道作者是一個(gè)演員，他的兒子也是一個(gè)演員。他想讓作者為Eric寫(xiě)一部電影，他會(huì)為電影投資。這樣，《孩子和我》這部電影就在11月份開(kāi)工了。故選A

5.主旨題。最后一段I really have to say that opportunity(機(jī)會(huì))lies anywhere.作者不得不說(shuō)，機(jī)會(huì)無(wú)處不在。故選C

考點(diǎn)：記敘文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：文章講述了作者因?yàn)榈诙�次離婚后無(wú)所事事，整天就是坐在后花園里消磨時(shí)間。一天他認(rèn)識(shí)了一個(gè)17歲的男孩Eric，由于Eric和作者都是演員，Eric的父親是一位億萬(wàn)富翁，準(zhǔn)備為兒子投資一部電影，想請(qǐng)作者為其編劇一個(gè)電影。最后作者發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)機(jī)會(huì)無(wú)處不在。文章簡(jiǎn)短精悍，理解好文章后，掌握細(xì)節(jié)題的解題方法，答案就一目了然了。
