Hi~大家好!
我是陪你一起升本的知本~
①It's easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? ②This story happened not long ago, but it is a lesson(教训) that has stayed with me and helped me ever since(自从那时以来).
①It was Thanksgiving(感恩节) and I was volunteering(参加志愿活动) with my parents at a shelter(避难处) for the poor(穷人). ②We served(为…服务,提供) hot food to whoever came in. ③Most of these people looked as if(好像) they had been having hard times(遇到困难); their clothes were worn out(破旧不堪) and dirty. ④Then, a man came in, who looked anything but(一点也不) poor. ⑤He was well dressed(衣着得体). ⑥I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw(下巴) dropped in amazement(吃惊) when he joined the queue(排队) for food. ⑦What was this man doing? ⑧Surely he wasn't going to take food which was meant for(适用于,属于) those who were really in need!
①Then my mother quietly took me to one side. ②She said,“ You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely(完全) physical(物质的). ③But what if(如果…怎么办) his needs are emotional(情感的)? ④What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other people?” ⑤Her words hit me like a ton of bricks(砖)! ⑥I felt like l should apologize(道歉) to the man--but I didn't.
①About a week later the shelter received a large donation(捐赠) from an anonymous donor(捐赠者), I couldn't help but(情不自禁) wonder if it came from that man.
①Now, whenever I meet someone, I will remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness(友善) to him according to his needs, no matter how he looks. ②Needs aren't always seen. ③But kindness always makes a difference(有所作为).
26. How did the author feel as the well-dressed man joined the queue for food?
当这位衣着得体的男子排队领取食物时,作者的心情如何?
A. Surprised.
B. Excited.
C. Nervous.
D. Hopeless.
B. 激动的
C. 紧张的
D. 无助的
本题考查细节理解,直接回到原文第二段④⑤⑥句,
作者的感受体现在对 my jaw dropped in amazement 的理解,原文已对 jaw 进行了释义,为“下巴”。即使不认识 amazement ,但大家肯定认识amazing ,这个单词在生活中随处可见,所以根据 amaze 这个词根,也大致可以猜测出该词为“惊异、惊讶”的意思,再结合前面的“下巴” dropped,很轻松地判断出这个句子就是想表达“惊掉下巴”。而选项中只有A项 surprised 符合该意。
1. anything but 为副词短语,置于作表语语的形容词或名词前,表示强调否定,意为“一点也不,绝不”。
2. well dressed 为固定搭配,意为“衣着得体”
3. queue 作动词时为“排队”,用法为 queue up for … / queue to do 排队做……
而作名词时为“行列,长队”,用法为 join the queue for … 加入……的队伍。
如何帮助一些人很容易,但那些需求不那么明确的人怎么办?这个故事发生在不久前,但它给我上了一课,让我受益至今。
那天是感恩节,我和父母一起在一家穷人收容所做志愿者。我们为进来的人提供热食。他们的衣服又破又脏。这时,进来了一个人,他看起来并不贫穷。他衣着光鲜。我想知道他在那里做什么,当他加入排队买食物的队伍时,我惊讶得下巴都要掉下来了。这个人在干什么?他肯定不会去拿那些给真正需要的人的食物!
27. What the author's mother said shows that we ________ .
作者母亲的话表明我们_______ 。
A. shouldn't judge a man by his appearance.
B. shouldn't complain to others.
C. should give others what they want.
D. should accept everything we meet.
A. 不应以貌取人。
B. 不应该抱怨别人。
C. 应该给别人他们想要的东西。
D. 应该接受我们遇到的一切。
本题问及作者母亲的话表面的含义,在第三段②③④句和第五段原文第二段①句可以找到依据。
第三段中作者母亲批评作者仅仅因为这个人的衣着就盲目对其得出定论,而第五段中作者又提到母亲的教诲让他不再以貌取人,关键就在于no matter how he looks,等于 however he looks, 即无论对方的外在如何,而只有A选项中 appearance 意为外表,故选A。
1. what if 表示“如果……怎么办?”,后一般接完整句子。
2. physical 和 emotional 作为相对的表达,前者指物质上的,后者指情感上的。
3. no matter + how/what/who/when
=however/whatever/whoever/whenever
然后,母亲悄悄地把我拉到一边。她说:”你认为来这里的人的需求一定是纯粹的物质需求。但如果他的需求是情感上的呢?如果他需要安慰、朋友,或者只是想和其他人在一起呢?”她的话给了我很大的打击!我觉得我应该向他道歉--但我没有。
28. What does the underlined word "anonymous" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
第 4 段中划线的 "anoymous "一词大概是什么意思?
A. Important.
B. Unknown.
C. Independent.
D. Excellent.
A. 重要的。
B. 未知的。
C. 独立的。
D. 优秀的。
推测划线单词的含义,需要结合具体语境。这个词出现在第四段。
避难所从一位…的捐赠者那里收到了一大笔捐款,划线词对捐赠者进行修饰。而后面这句话作者说他 wonder(怀疑)捐赠者是不是这个人,因此可知前面句子中 donor 的身份应该是未知的。
而A项 important “重要的”,当然这笔捐款非常重要,但结合后面作者的猜测来看不如 unknown “未知的”更适合语境。C项 independent “独立的”和D项 excellent “优秀的“不符合题意。
1. donate v. 捐赠,捐款
donation n. 捐赠,捐款
donor n. 捐赠者
2. wonder if 想知道是否……
3. can't help but(情不自禁),一般用can't help doing …(情不自禁做某事)更多
大约一周后,避难所收到了一笔来自匿名捐赠者的巨额捐款,我不禁怀疑这笔捐款是否来自那个人。
29. From the last paragraph , we learn that _______.
从最后一段,我们可以知道______。
A. seeing is believing.
B. it's difficult to be kind to others.
C. some rich people pretend to be poor.
D. we should help people based on their needs.
A. 眼见为实。
B. 与人为善很难。
C. 有些富人假装贫穷。
D. 我们应该根据人们的需要来帮助他们。
直接回到最后一段,这句话 try to send kindness to him according to his needs 就是这题的答案,与D项help people based on their needs 表达的意思相同。
A项 seeing is believing ”眼见为实“,最后一段就是作者听从母亲的教导不再眼以貌取人,明显不符。
B项 it's difficult to be kind to others ”与人为善很难“,最后一段主要表面作者学会与人为善的方法和判断的标准,并没有谈及难度问题。
C项 some rich people pretend to be poor ”有些富人假装贫穷“ ,与最后一段的意义完全不符合。
1. pretend to do 假装做……
2. make a difference 固定搭配,意为”做出改变,造成影响,有所作为“
3. 最后两句话是非常好的作文素材,建议大家记一下!
现在,每当我遇到一些人,我都会牢记母亲的教诲,并努力根据他的需要向他传递友善。根据他的需要,无论他的长相如何。需求并不总是显而易见的。但友善总会带来不同。
30. What would be the best title for the passage?
这篇文章最好的标题是什么?
A. My Mother's Influence on My Growth
B. The Importance of Volunteering
C. One of My Most Shameful Experiences
D. A Simple Lesson in Kindness
A. 母亲对我成长的影响
B. 志愿服务的重要性
C. 我最羞愧的经历之一
D. 一堂简单的友善课
标题问题主要考查本文的主题,第一段提到了 lesson 对作者的影响,而通过全文的理解和前面的题目,可知作者通过自身经历学会了不以外在去评判他人,而是根据其需求友善待人,这也是作者从中学到的教训,与D项的描述十分贴切。
A项表达太过宽泛,没有明确说明影响的内容。B项过于强调志愿服务,作者并没有以志愿服务的意义进行阐述,仅仅是介绍了该行为的背景。C项仅仅是提及经历的尴尬,不深刻。
