分析 本文是一篇人物故事類短文.主要講述了布萊恩•安德森幫助一個年紀(jì)大的女士的故事.布萊恩看到一位女士在她的車旁邊,很顯然需要幫助.他就下了車,但是這個女士看起來有點害怕,可能是布萊恩看起來有點嚇人,布萊恩就用柔和的聲音說"我是來幫助你的",他很快就修好了她的車,但是布萊恩沒有要女士的錢,就說"你想回報的話,就去幫助其他人吧!"他們就道別了.這個女士繼續(xù)往前走,看到了一個小咖啡館,就停下來吃點東西,她看見漂亮的服務(wù)員可能懷孕八個月了,還在工作,女士給服務(wù)員一張100美元的鈔票,服務(wù)員拿著零錢回來的時候,女士已經(jīng)走了,留下了一個便條,寫著"有人用這種方式幫助了我,你想回報我的話,就用這種方式繼續(xù)幫助他人吧."服務(wù)員激動的給丈夫打電話,說"親愛的布萊恩,你簡直就不會相信剛才發(fā)生的事情."
解答 56.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"the old lady was worried.Was he going to hurt her?He didn't look safe."可知這個年紀(jì)大的女士看上去有點害怕,布萊恩看起來不大安全,以為布萊恩可能傷害她,故選A.
57.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car,clearly in need of help."一個年紀(jì)大的女士站在她的昂貴的汽車旁邊,可知這個女士可能很富有,故選C.
58.B.句意理解題.根據(jù)"clearly in need of help"以及"I'm here to help you,madam."可知這個女士需要幫助,所以 giving a hand to someone in trouble的意思就是幫助有麻煩的人,劃線部分的意思就是"幫助"故選B.
59.C.詞義理解題.根據(jù)"On the table she saw a small note."以及"when she readit"可知她在讀便條上的字,所以it指的是note,故選C.
60.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"The waitress was excited that she called her husband to tell him the news."Bryan…Bryan Anderson my dear…you're not going to believe what just happened…"可知服務(wù)員給自己的丈夫打電話的時候,正好就是前面的幫助這個女士的布萊恩•安德森,也就是說這個服務(wù)員和布萊恩•安德森是夫婦,故選C.
點評 首先要仔細閱讀短文,掌握大意,然后結(jié)合具體的題目,再讀短文,從中找出相關(guān)信息,就可以確定正確答案.
