【題目】Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款臺), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(電池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

試題分析:本文講述作者親身經(jīng)歷的兩件事:一是作者的車在路上壞了,一對夫婦幫助作者到了朋友家,作者向其致信表達感謝;二是作者車的電池用完了,向一家賣車的商店尋求幫助,之后作者同樣向其致信表達感謝。通過這兩件事作者向我們展示表達感謝的重要性。
【1】B詞義猜測題。A關(guān)閉;B離開;C舉起;D建立,根據(jù)第二段第一句I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.后文說才走幾米就發(fā)現(xiàn)車后冒煙,應(yīng)是發(fā)生在離開車之后,可知該短語意思是離開,故選B
【2】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句They said they would take me to my friend’s他們說他們會把我?guī)笥涯抢,可知在作者的車故障后這對夫婦主動幫助了他,故選C
【3】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(電池) was dead.下午我回到車發(fā)現(xiàn)車燈亮了一整天,電池用完了,可知作者的車電池用完是因為忘記關(guān)車燈,故選C
【4】D分析推理題。根據(jù)最后一句No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said沒有一個人花時間向他寫信表達感謝,這意義重大,他說,前一件夫婦幫助作者,作者同樣向他們寫信表達感謝,可知作者就是向我們展示表達感謝的重要性,故選D

When an English traveler, who spent a few week in Sweden, was about to return to home, he found he had only enough money left to get a ticket to England. Since it was only two-day voyage, he believed he can get home without eating anything. He final bought a ticket with that little money and went to board the ship. He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell or refused to go to the place where people had his dinner when dinnertime came. Therefore, he couldn’t stand this any longer and went to the dining hall, enjoy the last meal on the ship. He then said, “Waiter, brings me the bill.” “Oh, meals are included in the ticket.” said the waiter.
