Question

【题目】 The summer I turned 16, my father gave me a car, which permitted Hannah and me to drive around Tucson whenever we wanted to.

Hannah was my best friend. “Hannah’s amazing," my mother always said. And sure enough, that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.

One day, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald's drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. "Let’s ride around a while," I said. It was a clear night, moonlight shone over the desert. Taking a turn too fast, I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.

French fries on the floor. An impossible amount of blood on Hannah’s face. They took us in separate ambulances. In the ER, my parents spoke quietly: Best plastic surgeon in the city. End of her modeling career.

We'd been wearing lap belts, but the car didn’t have shoulder harnesses. I’d cracked my cheekbone; Hannah's forehead had split wide open. What would I say to her?

When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, bracing myself for her anger. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I almost ended my best friend when I was your age,” she said, “I totaled her car and mine.”

“I'm so sorry,”I said.

“You’re both alive,”she said, “The rest is window dressing.” I started to protest, and Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you. Hannah will too.”

Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout life. I think of her gift of forgiveness every time I want to resent someone for a perceived wrong. And whenever I see Hannah, the scars are a symbol of grace for me.

【4】D

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者载着好朋友汉娜开车时，因为转弯太快出了车祸。这场车祸毁了汉娜即将开始的模特事业。作者非常内疚，但是汉娜的妈妈和汉娜原谅了她。之后每当作者想因为错误而怨恨某人时，就会想起汉娜对她的宽恕。

【1】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Taking a turn too fast, I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.可知，作者是因为开车的时候转弯太快出了事故，故选B项。

【2】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you. Hannah will too.”可知，汉娜的妈妈原谅了作者，所以她是一个宽宏大量的（generous）人，故选B项。

【3】细节理解题。根据第四段中的End of her modeling career.可知，这场车祸毁了汉娜的模特事业，故选C项。根据Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout life. 可知，汉娜原谅了作者，她们之后还是朋友，A项错误；文章中只提了汉娜和作者的伤势，没有说作者和汉娜因此残疾了，也没有提到作者因此对开车失去信心，B，D项错误。

【4】主旨大意题。好朋友汉娜原谅了作者的过错，她们成为了一生的好朋友，而之后每当作者想因为错误而怨恨某人时，就会想起汉娜对她的宽恕。作者通过这个经历强调了学会宽恕。故D项“学会宽恕”是最佳题目。

做细节理解题是要学会排除干扰项。事实细节题的设计干扰项一般都是某一细节的错误叙述与论断，可先排除干扰项。比如第三小题，可以通过原文Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout life排除错误的A项，而B,D项在原文也没有提及，直接排除。通过排除干扰项可以让自己的答案正确率更高。
