6.About ten years ago,a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street.He was going a bit too fast in his shiny,black,12cylinder Jaguar XKE,which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no child came out,but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jaguar's shiny black side door!SCREECH…!!!!Immediately Josh stopped the car,jumped out,seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid,"What was that all about and who are you?Just what the heck are you doing?!""That's my new Jaguar,that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money.Why did you throw it?"
"Please,mister,please…I'm sorry!I didn't know what else to do!"begged the youngster."I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car."It's my brother,mister,"he said."He rolled off the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."Sobbing,the boy asked the businessman,"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved by the words,the young businessman lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts,checking to see that everything was going to be OK.He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black,shining,12cylinder Jaguar XKE--a long and slow walk.Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar.He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.Feel for the bricks of life coming you.

分析 大约十年前,一位叫做Josh的年轻商人,开着他刚买两个月的那辆黑亮12缸的捷豹XKE以有点快的车速经过住宅区的巷道.他正看着孩子们从停着的车辆之间冲出来,当他以为看到了东西时,他就放慢了速度.当他的车通过,没有孩子出来,但一个砖出去了-WHUMP.击中捷豹那闪亮的黑色侧门SCREECH…!!Josh立即停下车,跳了出来,
窗体底端
他跳出车外,抓了那个小孩,把他顶在车门上说:"你为什么这样做,你知道你刚刚做了什么吗?"接着又吼道:"你知不知道你要赔多少钱来修理这台新车,你到底为什么要这样做?"小孩子求着说:"先生,对不起,我不知道我还能怎么办?"他接着说:"因为我哥哥从轮椅上掉下来,我没办法把他抬回去."那男孩啜泣着说:"你可以帮我把他抬回去吗?他受伤了,而且他太重了我抱不动."
这些话让这位年轻的商人深受感动,他抱起男孩受伤的哥哥,帮他坐回轮椅上.并拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的伤口,以确定他哥哥没有什么大问题.然后他看着男孩推着他哥哥回去.年轻商人返回的路变的很漫长,他也没有修他汽车的侧门.他保留着车上的凹痕就是提醒自己.生活的道路不要走的太匆忙,否则需要其他人敲打自己来注意生活的真谛.
解答 50-51BDA
50.B细节理解题.根据"I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car."他要寻求帮助.故选B.
51.D 推理判断题.根据文章的第四段的描述可知Josh是个好心人.故选D.
52.A 句意理解题.由最后一段倒数第二句He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention的句意,他没有修车门,让保留在车上的凹痕时刻提醒自己:不要在生活的道路上走得过于匆忙,那样别人只好向你扔砖头,引起你的注意.可知是叫人们多体谅他人疾苦.
点评 本文通过记叙十年前一个叫Josh的非常成功的企业家驾驶着他那崭新的汽车在芝加哥附近的街道上发生的故事,告诉人们应该多体谅他人疾苦.注意推理判断题需要正确的阅读短文对语篇有个整体的把握.会根据语句之间的逻辑关系、段内的语义关系及篇章的语义关系,从段落篇章的角度理解文章的主旨、作者的观点和态度..做此类试题要善于抓住一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义.
