Question

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,
Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before．
College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.
It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.
Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.
But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.
I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.
I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.
The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.
Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.
Yours most respectfully,
Jerusha Abbott
to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】B
【小題3】D
【小題4】C

解析試題分析：文章講述了Jerusha是一個(gè)孤兒，她是在陌生人的幫助下才得以能夠上大學(xué)，在剛進(jìn)大學(xué)的不久，她寫(xiě)了這封信給幫助過(guò)她的陌生人，感激他們?yōu)樗�做的事情�?br />【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第二段   College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused;可知大學(xué)太大了，她總是會(huì)感到困惑，迷路，所以可知她對(duì)學(xué)校并不熟悉，故選B
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.可知，她不妨寫(xiě)信給Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line 這兩個(gè)名字的人，所以她確定John Smith 肯定是個(gè)不正確的稱呼，故選B
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful.可知，這樣的生活是充滿活力的，故選D
【小題4】推斷題。從文章So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. Dear Daddy-Long-Legs.是一只寵物的名字，而這只寵物肯定是作者很喜歡的，故選C是為了拉近彼此的距離。
考點(diǎn)：人生百味類(lèi)應(yīng)用文
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文較難，作者的思想隱喻的內(nèi)容較多。對(duì)于此類(lèi)文章的作答，需要把握好作者實(shí)質(zhì)要表達(dá)的感情色彩，理解作者的深層次的中心思想。將這一思想始終把握在答題的過(guò)程中，以此為出發(fā)點(diǎn)。結(jié)合問(wèn)題中所給的信息同時(shí)利用排除法即可作答。
