Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (給予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.

試題分析：短文大意：本文中的教授給學(xué)生布置了一道發(fā)散性的題目，讓他們自己去感受并完成，其間，學(xué)生明白了kind的真諦，做了很多的善行且樂(lè)于與人分享這些友善的故事。最終此次善行活動(dòng)被推及到周邊學(xué)校及地區(qū)引起較大的反響和轟動(dòng)。全文行文自然，深入淺出，令人尋味和思考。。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題，題干文中教授給學(xué)生布置的作業(yè)是什么，根據(jù)題干我們可以對(duì)應(yīng)到文章中“…and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random kindness.”，(隨機(jī)，偶然的善行)，所以本題是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)對(duì)文章中提到的“to perform one act of”和理解我們可以很容易的排除掉A和D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)。最終在B和C選項(xiàng)中糾結(jié)。所以此處我們還需要回到原文，找出最符合原文的選項(xiàng)。太過(guò)閱讀和對(duì)比會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)B選項(xiàng)太過(guò)籠統(tǒng)，并且根據(jù)文章后面的情節(jié)展開(kāi)可以看到大量的學(xué)生幫助他人的行為和事例，可以鎖定答案為C選項(xiàng)。所以，在做細(xì)節(jié)題的時(shí)候，面對(duì)強(qiáng)干擾選項(xiàng)，我們一定要回到原文，再次檢索，根據(jù)文章提示，找出最符合原文的選項(xiàng)。答案選：C
小題2:推理題，ABD三項(xiàng)均為否定，負(fù)面，消極的選項(xiàng)，A選項(xiàng)與文章沒(méi)有聯(lián)系，文中并未提及教授的學(xué)生聰明與否，相反從學(xué)生的所作所為可以看出他們很聰明且有愛(ài)心。B選項(xiàng)與原文意思相反，從“One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless…”
可以排除該項(xiàng)。而從“Students were engergized by the homework assignment…”可以看出D選項(xiàng)也是錯(cuò)誤的。
所以，答案選：C
小題3:推理題，我們需要對(duì)每個(gè)選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行逐個(gè)推敲課排除。
A選項(xiàng)：在文章中并無(wú)明顯的證據(jù)，繼續(xù)往下看
B選項(xiàng)：與該句子“Since then, similar knidness activities have been started in schools around the world.” 矛盾
C選項(xiàng)：“Students were engergized by the homework assignment…”可以看出學(xué)生對(duì)此次作業(yè)還是很感興趣的，足以說(shuō)明C選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤
D選項(xiàng)：從“One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless.” Homeless與 only people they knew矛盾。
所以，答案選A
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)“Students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a better plac” 可知答案選：D
小題5:主旨題(選最佳標(biāo)題)，A選項(xiàng)：學(xué)習(xí)善行，友善。B選項(xiàng)：善的教育。C選項(xiàng)：世界友善日。D選項(xiàng)：Bakersfield大學(xué)。其中C和D都是比較好排除的選項(xiàng)。那么這篇文章到底是講學(xué)習(xí)善，還是關(guān)于善的教育呢?因?yàn)楸疚氖敲}，而文章名或文章標(biāo)題的擬定除了要結(jié)合文章主旨之外，在某種程度上還會(huì)影響作者的行文。文章開(kāi)篇講到教授的作業(yè)，通過(guò)后文不難看出此教授的高明之處，通過(guò)讓學(xué)生自己去理解并進(jìn)行實(shí)踐的方式來(lái)教導(dǎo)學(xué)生什么是善。因此答案為B選項(xiàng)。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文難度較大，個(gè)別小題需要根據(jù)相關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推理總結(jié)。首先要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，注意前后聯(lián)系，掌握短文大意，然后帶著問(wèn)題再讀短文，找出相關(guān)段落，分析總結(jié)，判斷出正確選項(xiàng)。文章所設(shè)試題主要考察細(xì)節(jié)查找，做題關(guān)鍵是找出原文的根據(jù)，認(rèn)真核查小題和原文的異同。

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered a planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid（液態(tài)）water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion（萬(wàn)億）kilometres －500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacec raft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes（望遠(yuǎn)鏡）towards the planet and search for radiation（放射）. By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals（化學(xué)物質(zhì)）around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea whether the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
小題1:What did scientists find in September 2010?
A．A planet with water.B．A planet similar to the earth.
C．A planet without life.D．A planet near the earth.
小題2:According to the article, Gliese 581g ________.
A．is at the right distance from its starB．moves around the earth
C．is as far away from us as the moonD．can be reached in about 220 years
小題3:Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.
A．the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B．the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C．the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D．the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?
A．Gliese 581g, a Likely Living PlanetB．Gliese 581, a Likely Living Planet
C．Gliese 581g and Its StarD．Gliese 581g and Radiation

Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much.
The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (馬拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way.
It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time.
The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _______.
A．they are especially talented people
B．they don’t want or need to learn too much
C．they have to spend a lot of time on it
D．they have a chance to go abroad
小題2:The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _______.
A．forget your own goals
B．become a talented language learner
C．get tired of learning it
D．reach your learning goal
小題3:The best title of this passage would be _______.
A．Easy Language Learning B．Hard Language Learning
C．Fluency in a Foreign Language D．A way of Language Learning
