【题目】 I drove a taxi to make a living. One night about twenty years ago, I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
【1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A.show she was familiar with the city
B.let the driver earn more money
C.see some places for the last time
D.reach the destination on time
【2】The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.
A.shut off the meter by mistake
B.wanted to do her a favor
C.had received her payment in advance
D.was in a hurry to take other passengers
【3】What can be inferred from the story?
A.Giving is always a pleasure.
B.People should respect the old.
C.People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.
D.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral de Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other cathedrals and historic 【1】 (structure) across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European government are doing enough 【2】 (keep) up and care for such buildings.
Tibor Navracsics, the European Union’s top cultural official, told The Associated Press that “we are so used to our outstanding cultural heritage in Europe that we tend to forget that it 【3】 (need) constant care and attention.” Some people say the fire was a wake-up call, not just for Europe,【4】 for the whole world.
Large fires have long robbed humanity 【5】 knowledge, art and treasures. In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens 【6】 (find) that Scotland had about ten damaging fires a year, while England lost at least a dozen listed buildings a year. In Germany, seventy historic buildings have been 【7】 (heavy) damaged since 2000.
Experts say that 【8】 is needed is continuous attention and maintenance. Some say world-famous monuments like Notre-Dame are the 【9】 (drive) force behind tourism and should get more respect. Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, who heads the heritage group Europa Nostra, noted the 【10】 (important) of such respect. “Cultural heritage is a gold mine. You cannot exploit it and then just leave the mine and go to another one.” She said.
