Question

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in the strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了作者一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情。作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包，正當(dāng)著急的時候，有人打電話給送了回來，原來是那家人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件，然后給送還了回來，通過這件事作者一家又找回了對人們的信任。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首段Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house可知Rashid獨自一人到了悉尼后住在旅館中，同時到處去給家人找房子住，故答案選C。

2.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.可知陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的內(nèi)容得知他的電話號碼的，故答案選B。

3.詞義猜測題。據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.可知那家人把撿到的文件替作者的丈夫保存著，然后送還給他，由此判斷該詞意思是“歸還”，故答案選C。

4.主旨大意題。文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱，但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等規(guī)整好送還給作者的丈夫，這些別人眼里的垃圾對作者的丈夫來說非常重要。而選項D的內(nèi)容（把垃圾變成財富）更符合大意，故選擇D。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.可知，是這個家庭的小女兒發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件。故選擇B。
