Question

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had stumbled over something and dropped all of the books he was carrying along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and  that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.  

Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if Ihad killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

Answer 1

【小題1】D

【小題2】C

【小題3】A

【小題4】B

【小題5】B

解析:

【小題1】猜測詞意題。根據(jù)上下文而作出正確判斷。通過此句后“…and dropped all of  the books he was carrying…”的意思,可以看出, stumbled是“絆倒; 失去平衡”的

意思, 所以D為正確答案。

【小題2】推理判斷題。由最后一段中 “But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I  had killed myself, I would missed that time and so many others that might follows.”可以推出Bill非常珍惜與Mark交往的那些日子。A，S，D三項文中均示涉及到。

【小題3】推理判斷題。由最后一段可知作者強調(diào)的是人與人之間的友誼和一顆好心。故A為正確答案。

【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。由第一段中“he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.” 最后一段中

“ I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit 

suicide(自殺)  ”可以判斷B為最佳答案。

【小題5】主旨大意題。本文主要講述了Mark通過一件小事，無意中拯救了Bill的生命，說明友誼的重要性,哪怕是淺淺的一絲微笑，微不足道的行為，很簡單舉動，只要是善意的，都可能對別人產(chǎn)生莫大的鼓舞或動力，所以B為正確答案。
