【題目】In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便車).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

【解析】

試題分析:本文是一篇記敘文，題材是社會生活。作者講述了25年前自己錯(cuò)過了唯一的一趟回家的火車，她想搭便車回家但沒有人為她停車。最后一位名叫Gordon的人把自己請到家中吃了午飯并幫助自己找到了回家的便車。25年后的一天搭自己便車的老人竟然是那位名叫Gordon的人。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。用題干中“hitch a ride…1978 ”定位到第一段，答案在第一段最后兩句the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride唯一的一趟回家的火車已經(jīng)離開，所以我想搭便車回家。，故選B。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。B, C, D三選項(xiàng)均與第二段不符，答案選A.He helped the girl find a ride, 與第二段最后一句After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.他還主動幫助我找到回家的便車，故選A。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier可知，我認(rèn)為這是回報(bào)幾十年前給我?guī)椭娜说挠忠淮螜C(jī)會，故選D。

【4】C寫作意圖題。綜合分析全文內(nèi)容，25年前我得到Gordon的幫助，25年后Gordon又偶然地得到我的幫助。所以作者想通過這個(gè)故事，告訴我們：給予有時(shí)會產(chǎn)生好的結(jié)果,故選C。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 【1】 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter --- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. 【2】 .

Experience fear.

I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 【3】 .

Create space.

The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 【4】 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight (逃避)" response in the body.

Control the breath and feel the fear.

Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests (展現(xiàn)) in the body. 【5】 .

With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do. For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

B. Fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.

E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

F. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

G. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

Dear Jeremy and Alice,

Although we’ve been delighted to have you as neighbors, we’re hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog—Cleo.

We’ve called several time about Cleo’s early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she’s outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o’clock. That is too much for us. considering how closely the houses are.

We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope which you can figure out a good way of settling the matter.
