解析:

本文主要敘述美國的一個(gè)白人青年幫助一個(gè)黑人老太太的故事。

1. A。根據(jù)下文60年代矛盾沖突(指白人對(duì)黑人的種族歧視)，下文提到了一個(gè)白人青年幫她，因此可判斷老太太是“黑人”。

2. B。從第15空前的 freeway 一詞可以得出此題答案。

3. C。從下文 she decided to flag down the next car 說明她的車“拋錨”了。

4. B。因?yàn)檐噿佸^了，所以她“非�！毙枰钴�，只有 badly 符合此意。

5. D。從下文 in his car 得出答案。

6. D。因?yàn)槭悄贻p人，對(duì)60年代美國種族歧視沒有聽說過，才伸出援助之手。hear of是“聽說”的意思。

7. D。take sb. to some place意為“把某人帶到某地”是固定短語。

8. A。因?yàn)槭浅鲎廛嚕砸白赓U(雇)”。

9. C。從下文看，她是去看他快要死了的丈夫，所以很“匆忙”。

10. A。從下文可知老太太為了感謝那位白人青年，買了一臺(tái)電視機(jī)給他送去，所以記下的是“地址”，而不是電話號(hào)碼。

11. B。從老太太留的紙條可知她沒有親自去，因此可以判斷是直接讓“售貨員”把電視機(jī)送去的。

12. A。因?yàn)樗麤]有買電視機(jī)，看到一個(gè)售貨員送來一臺(tái)電視機(jī)，所以感到“驚奇”。

13. C。因?yàn)槭羌垪l，所以判斷是“貼”(stick)在電視機(jī)上。

14. B。根據(jù)第一空已經(jīng)得出答案是一位黑人婦女，因此選 dark。

15. B。從上下文的時(shí)間判斷，是“幾天前的一個(gè)夜晚”。

16. B。因?yàn)楹竺媸切稳菰~ wet 使渾身都濕了用 make，turn也可以跟形容詞，是表示變化，不符句意。

17. B。not only…but(also) 是固定搭配。

18. D。從上文可以得知，當(dāng)老太太的車子拋錨時(shí)，那個(gè)白人青年及時(shí)地出現(xiàn)在她跟前，并給予了幫助。

19. A。根據(jù)下文表示“能”使她及時(shí)趕到她快要死了的丈夫跟前(be able to do sth表示通過努力才能實(shí)現(xiàn)的動(dòng)作)，其余不符句意。

20. B。因?yàn)槔咸玫搅饲嗄甑膸椭�，才使她在她丈夫死之前趕到。

Lynn was a young French Canadian girl who grew up in the farming community. At the age of l6, her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income. In l922, with limited education and skills, the future didn’t look bright for Lynn. Her father demanded that Lynn find a job as soon as possible, but she didn’t have the confidence to ask for a job.
One day, Lynn gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door. She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager. In her broken English, Lynn told her she was interested in the secretarial position. Margaret decided to give her a chance.
Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Lynn, let’s see how good you really are.” She directed Lynn to type a single letter, and then left. Lynn looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 a.m. Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon. She thought she should at least attempt the letter.
On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now read 11:45. “At noon,” she said to herself, “I’ll move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.”
On her second attempt, things didn’t get any better. Again she started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though. She looked at the clock: 11:55—five minutes to freedom.
Just then, Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lynn, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girl’s shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said, “Lynn, you’re doing good work!”
Lynn was surprised. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow. She thought, “Well, if she thinks it’s good, then it must be good. I think I’ll stay!”
Lynn did stay at Carhartt Overall Company…for 51 years, through two world wars and 11 presidents—all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of self-confidence when she knocked on the door.
【小題1】Why did Lynn leave school at an early age?

Lightning flashed through the darkness over Donald Lubeck’s bedroom skylight. The 80-year-old retired worker was shaken by a blast of thunder. It was 11 p.m. The storm had moved directly over his two-story wood home in the rural town of Belchertown, Massachusetts. Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping. Lubeck padded down the stairs barefoot and opened the door to the basement, and flames exploded out.
Lubeck fled back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom, but the phone didn’t work. Lubeck realized he was trapped. “I started panicking,” he says.
His daughter and young granddaughters, who lived with him, were away for the night. No one will even know I’m home, he thought. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by pines that Lubeck knew calling for help would be fruitless.
Up a hill about a third of a mile away lived Lubeck’s closest neighbors, Jeremie Wentworth and his wife. Wentworth had been lying down, listening to the radio when it occurred to him that the sound was more like a smoke detector. He jumped out of bed, grabbed a cordless phone and a flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise.
He dialed 911. “Is anyone there?” he called out as he approached the house. Wentworth knew that Lubeck lived in the house.
Then he heard, “Help me! I’m trapped!” coming from the balcony off Lubeck’s bedroom.
“I ran in and yelled,‘Don, where are you?’ Then I had to run outside to catch my breath.”
After one more attempt inside the house, he gave up and circled around back. But there was no way to get to him. “I shined the flashlight into the woods next to an old shed and noticed a ladder,” says Wentworth. He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Lubeck down just as the second floor of the house collapsed.
Wentworth and Lubeck don’t run into each other regularly, but Lubeck now knows that if he ever needs help, Wentworth will be there.
Lubeck still chokes up when he tells the story. “I was alone,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was Jeremie.”
【小題1】According to the text, Lubeck___________.

A．stayed calm in the fireB．couldn’t find a safe way out
C．lived on the first floorD．called for help in the fire
【小題2】How did Wentworth help Lubeck escape?
A．He called 911.
B．He went upstairs and took Lubeck out.
C．He put out the fire.
D．He used a ladder and pulled Lubeck down.
【小題3】Which of the following factors was not mentioned in the text that almost cost Lubeck’s life?
A．He was living in his wood home alone that night.
B．The storm was too heavy and the fire was too fierce.
C．He lived far from the main road and was surrounded by pines.
D．He was too frightened to escape from the danger.
【小題4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．A near neighbour is better than a distant cousin.
B．A good way to get a narrow escape.
C．God helps those who help themselves.
D．Blood is thicker than water.
