【解析】

試題分析：作者通過講述在商店里幫助一位窮顧客的故事，說明了兩個道理：第一，做人應(yīng)該有一副熱心腸；第二，人無論貧富，都是平等的，都應(yīng)享受同等的權(quán)利和地位。

1.A 根據(jù)第三段中she purchased the item可知，她買的這件商品本來是為女兒買的。

2.C 根據(jù)下文“exchange the item for something else”，應(yīng)該是他的女兒已經(jīng)有了類似的東西。

3.B 因為女兒已經(jīng)有了類似的東西，所以這位婦女想換一件另外的商品。 manage to do是“成功做了某事”的意思。

4.B 根據(jù)下一段的內(nèi)容可知，調(diào)換商品需要有ID卡（商家發(fā)放的一種顧客身份標(biāo)識卡）才可以，否則無法調(diào)換。 

5.A 作者決定幫助這位婦女，于是和她一起走到商店的柜臺處。

6.D 根據(jù)全文語境可以看出，這位黑人婦女在商店受到了不公正的待遇，被拒絕調(diào)換商品。售貨員看到她找到作者幫助，十分不禮貌地指責(zé)她不應(yīng)該隨便找個人來幫忙。

7.D 考察上下文語境。這位婦女并不認(rèn)識作者，找到她屬于隨機(jī)行為。因此售貨員的話符合事實。

8.B 這位婦女并不認(rèn)識作者，找到她屬于隨機(jī)行為。因此售貨員的話符合事實。

9.A 售貨員所指責(zé)的情況屬實，但作者不明白隨便找個人來幫忙就有那么值得關(guān)注嗎（有什么值得如此大驚小怪的呢）。matter意為“關(guān)系重大”。

10.D 畢竟不是所有的人都有機(jī)會獲得ID卡的。

11.C 根據(jù)下文“then went on to say the woman could not   47  she purchased the item.”說明經(jīng)理要設(shè)置退換商品的門檻。經(jīng)理解釋說即使有了ID卡，如果沒有收據(jù)的話，也是沒有辦法退換商品的。

12.B 接著上面的話，經(jīng)理順?biāo)浦壅f這位婦女不能證明該商品是在他這里買的。

13.D 經(jīng)理的這種無賴的行為激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例來進(jìn)行反駁：如果我，一位白人女性，到這里要求換貨，沒有收據(jù)，照樣我是不會被（你們）拒絕的。因為我有過去的經(jīng)歷為證。 

14.C經(jīng)理的這種無賴的行為激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例來進(jìn)行反駁：如果我，一位白人女性，到這里要求換貨，沒有收據(jù)，照樣我是不會被（你們）拒絕的。因為我有過去的經(jīng)歷為證。 

15.A 從語境可知，經(jīng)理意識到自己的言行失當(dāng)，因此同意換商品。 

16.C 根據(jù)句中but后面的內(nèi)容可知，作者在婦女請求幫助時，一開始也猶豫過。

17.D 但她很快地調(diào)整心態(tài)，捫心自問：“為什么不幫她，我有不幫她的正當(dāng)理由嗎？”

18.C但她很快地調(diào)整心態(tài)，捫心自問：“為什么不幫她，我有不幫她的正當(dāng)理由嗎？”

19.B 從下文可知，這位婦女看起來非常窮。售貨員和經(jīng)理的無禮行為可能與此有關(guān)。作者想要表達(dá)的是，我們不應(yīng)該以貌取人（不能通過書的封皮確定一本書的質(zhì)量）。

20.A 人雖然窮，但有資格和別人享受同等的待遇。

考點：考察人生感悟類短文

點評：作者通過講述在商店里幫助一位窮顧客的故事，說明了兩個道理：第一，做人應(yīng)該有一副熱心腸；第二，人無論貧富，都是平等的，都應(yīng)享受同等的權(quán)利和地位。本文主要是測試學(xué)生綜合運(yùn)用語言的能力，即從語篇的角度綜合測試閱讀理解能力、詞匯的掌握和對英語習(xí)慣用語的熟悉程度、以及語法規(guī)則的靈活運(yùn)用�？忌鲱}時必須時刻從上下文考慮，不應(yīng)該只看到所添的詞在短語或句子內(nèi)是否可行。因此，在做題時最好將全文通讀一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。

The people below traveled abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.
【小題1】_______ David got lost in an isolated place. To make matter worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of timely help.
【小題2】______ Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs(海關(guān)).
【小題3】_____ Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying drugs without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!
【小題4】_____ Sally offended some of the people in the town she was visiting by wearing inappropriate clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.
【小題5】______ Jack didn’t obtain a transit card when he changed planes at an airport, which made him very worried. There was no doubt that he was not allowed to get on board.
A  My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer inspected all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.
B  It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.
C  During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.
D  When I got off the plane at the first airport, I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.
E  I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.
F  When I arrived at my destination, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.

“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters. 

“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”

Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.

“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷揚(yáng)機(jī)), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.

1.Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.

A. panicked but optimistic                           B. nervous and hopeless

C. upset and regretful                         D. frightened but calm

2.Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?

A. Sandwiches                   B. Running water

C. Chocolates                      D. Staying up in a tree

3.What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?

a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.

b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.

c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.

d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.

e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.

A. a d e c b               B.     d a e b c                      C. a d e b c                        D. d e a b c

4.The article can be classified as _________.

A. a news story              B. a scientific fiction

C. a personal essay           D. a literary report
