My friend, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom—Alex—used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary— General of the United Nations (UN).

Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.

1.Alex lent Emma the book, Markings,         .

A.to show his friendliness to her

B.to show his interest in reading

C.to tell her about the importance of the UN

D.to let her write her name and address inside

2.How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?

A.Pleased.          B.Satisfied           C.Worried.          D.Surprised.

3.We can learn from the text that the Californian       .

A.met Emma at a concert                   B.invited Emma to a concert

C.introduced Emma to his friend             D.left Emma his backpack

4.Who was supposed to be the first owner of the book?

A.An official of the UN.                     B.A coffee shop owner.

C.A friend of the author’s.                 D.Alex’s friend from California.

 

【答案】

1.A

2.D

3.A

4.D

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了发生在作者的朋友Emma Daniels身上的一件很巧合的事情。Emma呆在耶路撒冷期间,她的新朋友Alex借给Emma一本书,Emma 打开一看竟吃惊的发现自己的名字和地址写在书上,原来去年夏天Emma遇到一个加利福尼亚的新朋友在交换地址时让Emma把地址写在书上,然后又把书落在Montreal被Alex保存起来了。

1.这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and he’d be happy to lend it to her”可知这本书是Alex主动借给Emma 的,为了表达友情。

2.这是一道细节推断题。根据“But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting”,可知floored 的意思是十分吃惊的,选项中surprise意思最接近。

3.这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends.”可知the Californian met Emma in a concert.

4.这是一道推理题。根据短文可知去年夏天The Californian在交换地址时让Emma把地址写在书上,然后又把书落在Montreal被Alex保存起来了,所以书的最早主人是the Californian.

考点:日常生活类短文阅读。

点评:本文讲述了发生在作者的朋友Emma Daniels身上的一件很巧合的事情。在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点。

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “  36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”

My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him.   41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

I did not  43  asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44  those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45  I cannot alone  46  every single cause in the world!

I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47  , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48  . I realized that   49  I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50  .

I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51  I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52  . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53  .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54  , and I became a successful fundraiser.

At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55  how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
