Question

【题目】 After long hours of waiting for my friend at the bus station, I got tired and was going to leave and plan another meeting. As I was still deciding, there came a man selling culture shoes and started showing them to me. I just smiled and said thank you. I didn’t know if it was the smile or what but the young man stepped closer and started talking to me.

“You know I didn’t just end up like this. I had a family but one day life just turned upside down and all was gone,” he said. In short, his wife stole all his money, sold his car and house. It was really a hard time for him and he was psychologically anguished. A lot happened and then he decided to pick up the pieces of his life and try to make ends meet. So he started making culture shoes and selling them to earn a living.

As I stood there listening to his story, I was still surprised how in the world someone can be so open to a total stranger.

You see, a lot of times we meet people and most of them have difficulties in their life. Some of them don’t have a person to listen to them, so I’ve learned to be good to people and always give them time to listen to what they want to say. By doing this, I not only help that person get relieved (宽慰) but also learn something from them and see the other side of life. This will make the world a better place to live for all of us.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者在公共汽车站等了朋友好几个小时后，正要离开时，一个卖文化鞋的男人向作者推销商品，这个男人坦诚地向作者讲述了自己的遭遇，作者感到惊讶，在这个世界上，怎么会有人对一个完全陌生的人如此坦诚。作者倾听了他的故事，通过这样做，作者不仅帮助他们使他们获得了理解，而且从他的身上学到一些东西，看到了生活的另一面。

【1】细节理解题。由第二段“I had a family but one day life just turned upside down and all was gone,” he said. In short, his wife stole all his money, sold his car and house”可知，这个男人有一个美满的家庭，但有一天生活完全颠倒了，一切都消失了。”简而言之，他的妻子偷走了他所有的钱，卖掉了他的车和房子。所以男人的妻子彻底改变了他的生活。故选A项。

【2】词句猜测题。由第二段“I had a family but one day life just turned upside down and all was gone,” he said. In short, his wife stole all his money, sold his car and house. It was really a hard time for him”可知，这个男人有一个美满的家庭，但有一天生活完全颠倒了，一切都消失了。”简而言之，他的妻子偷走了他所有的钱，卖掉了他的车和房子。对他来说，那真是一段艰难的日子。所以他的心理很痛苦。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，第二段下划线的“anguished”是painful“痛苦的”意思。故选D项。

【3】推理判断题。由最后一段“You see, a lot of times we meet people and most of them have difficulties in their life. Some of them don’t have a person to listen to them, so I’ve learned to be good to people and always give them time to listen to what they want to say. By doing this, I not only help that person get relieved (宽慰) but also learn something from them and see the other side of life.”可知，你看，很多时候我们会遇到很多人，他们中的大多数会在生活上遇到困难。有些人不愿去倾听他们所说的，所以我学会了善待他人，留出时间去倾听他们想说的话。 通过这样做，我不仅帮助他们使他们获得了理解，而且从他们身上学到一些东西，看到生活的另一面。由此判断出，作者在文章的最后部分想告诉要学会倾听他人。故选C项。
