Question

B

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cellphone and credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We find amazing things on the street. She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there.

I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister’s and that he'd swing by to pick it up, which he did.

And that was that. No verbal (口頭的) thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.

I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate (顫動) and dance across the kitchen counter.

“Who’s this?” someone asked when I picked up.

“Who’s this?” I countered. “Sarah?”

She was taken aback until she realized her name was on the credit card I also had recovered. “Could you send it to me?” she asked.

She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.

“Hmm, no,” I replied, adding that I thought she could come get them, and that if I wasn’t home, they would be in my mailbox.

A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved them. But I got nothing. In this age of e-mail and cellphones, there’s really no excuse.

Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street: a driver’s license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.

“I guess I could,” I replied.

And that was that.

Answer 1

61---65   DBCAC  

解析:

本文主要是指出當今社會缺乏一種感謝別人的基本素質(zhì)，丟了東西，不但不親自到拾到者那兒去領(lǐng)取還要人家給送來，并且連感謝的話都沒有。

61. D。          標題概括題。本文主要是指出當今社會缺乏一種感謝別人的基本素質(zhì)，丟了東西，不但不親自到拾到者那兒去領(lǐng)取還要人家給送來，并且連感謝的話都沒有。選項A只是文章的表面內(nèi)容；選項B和C是從問題的正面敘述而文章是從反面來進行敘述的。故答案選D。

62. B。          推理判斷題。由文章第一段“She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there”可知，既然它把人仍在地上的雞骨頭看作是它的美餐，這說明Maggie應該是作者的一只寵物，如小狗。故答案選B。

63. C。          事實細節(jié)題。由文章第四段“I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone”可知，但是作者很忙，所以沒有來得及打電話。故答案選C。

64. A。          詞義猜測題。文章前面提到作者讓失主前來認領(lǐng)，并且文后又提到作者并沒有得到任何感謝之類的話，所以可以判斷該詞的意思是“取回”。故答案選A。

65. C。          作者意圖推斷題。由文章最后三段，尤其是最后一段，可以看出作者對于那個丟失駕照的人感到非常的失望和無可奈何。故答案選C。
