Question

  I have had a strange knock on my front door asking for money for the bus so he could get to the hospital. I have had strangers asking for a donation. I have had strangers at my door looking for work or a ride. And I have managed to say no to just about everybody.

  But when a stranger recently knocked on my door and said he needed a place to live for the summer,I said to my family and friends, "Let's see what we can do."

  Khalil came to the United States from the United Kingdom,where he was a college student,and he had paid quite a bit of money to a company to come to this country and go door-to-door selling books. He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys―Khalil and his workmate,Andy. All the other salesmen had been placed with host families but there was no room for these two. And they were in trouble It was in June. After he knocked on my door,Khalil and I made the rounds of my friends in neighborhood. Did they have room? Did they know anyone who did?

  Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family. His mother was proud of his decision of coming to America. His mother had cried when he left. He missed his sister;she is his best friend.

  Just as I had predicted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent. I know I'm lucky as this story has a happy ending. I read the news?paper headlines,too,and I know there is evil in the world,but sometimes you just have to go with your gut and trust in karma.

1-4   AADD     

A篇：本文講述作者幫助英國學(xué)生找到住所的經(jīng)歷，揭示了幫助別人能得到快樂的道理。

1. A細節(jié)理解題。由第二段可以看出作者決定幫忙，由最后一段中"Just as I had predic?ted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent."可以看出作者幫忙在朋友家為Khalil 找到了房子。由文章的第二段可知Khalil上門不是賣書而是找住處；房東并沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)Khalil遇到困難;從第五段"Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family."可知作者對Khalil并不是很了解。因此可排除其他答案。'

2. A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段"He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys"可知答案為A.

3. D句意猜測題。對句子的猜測建立在對整篇文章理解的基礎(chǔ)之上。前一句講雖然相信陌生人有風(fēng)險，最后一句作為文章的總結(jié)，表明作者"相信感覺和緣分，幫助陌生人"之后的快樂心情。

4. D主旨大意題。從文章最后歸納總結(jié)的一句話可以看出作者是慶幸自己相信了陌生人并幫助他之后感到快樂，并不是慶幸有好鄰居。C不正確。也不是提醒我們要提防陌生人，因此A、B不正確。
