Question

12．There were smiling children all the way．Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang．Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favourite relatives．This is the simple village people of Malaysia．I was moved．
I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train．I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread．I looked about the train．There was not one familiar face．I sighed and sat down to read my Economics．
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia．Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past．As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green．Then the first village came into sight．Immediately I came alive； I decided to wave back．
From then on my journey became interesting．I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life．Then everything came alive．The mountains seemed to speak to me．Even the trees were smiling．I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time．
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry．I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 pm．Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth．I looked at the people all around me．They all looked beautiful．When my uncle waved with a smile，I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug （拥抱）．I had never done this before．He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile．We walked arm in arm to his car．
I looked forward to the return journey．

Answer 1

分析 文章主要讲述作者从看到马来西亚人总会在站台上笑对火车里的陌生人挥手后，心情由无聊、乏味变成高兴．可以看出，微笑能让人提起精神．

解答 33．D．推理判断题．根据第二段There was not one familiar face．I sighed and sat down to read my Economics，作者是第一次坐长途火车，带了很多杂志看，可以看出作者一开始认为坐火车是dull（乏味的）；故选D．
34．A．细节理解题．根据第一段This is the simple village people of Malaysia．I was moved，马来西亚人很热情，总会微笑着在站台上对火车里的陌生人挥手，欢迎乘客来到马来西亚．作者很感动；故选A．
35．B．词义猜测题．根据第二段I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread．I looked about the train可知作者开始并不享受火车之旅；可知意为享受；故选B．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
