Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2015·大庆高三教学质量检测)Steve and I pulled trash for four solid hours continuously,except for about five minutes when we stopped to talk.My shoulder hurt badly each time I put another full barrel on it, and my legs occasionally trembled as I was heading for the street.But the rest of me said, “Go, trashman, go.”
I could not have imagined there would be joy in this.Dump.Lift.Walk.Lift.Walk.The hours flew by.
Saturday meant many people were outdoors working in their gardens or greenhouses.Most of them looked approachable enough.There wasn't time for lengthy talks but enough to exchange greetings that go with civilized ways.But I was shocked to find that this wasn't the case.
When I said hello to them, most often the response was either nothing at all, or a surprising stare because I had spoken.
One woman in a housecoat was startled as I came around the corner of her house.At the sound of my greeting, she gathered her housecoat tightly about her and retreated quickly to the door.I heard the lock click.
Steve complained angrily on the long ride to the dump:“They don't realize we're humans.”
I had originally planned to stay at this employment for only two days but now I'm going to continue.I have decided, too, to keep saying hello in people's yards.It doesn't do any harm,and it still feels right.Frankly,I'm doing an essential task.I left this country a little cleaner than I found it this morning.Not many people can say that tonight.
John Gardner wrote that a society which praises its philosophers and looks down on its plumbers (管子工) is in trouble.“Neither_its_pipes_nor_its_theories_will_hold_water,”he warned.He might have gone a step further and called for respect for both our economists and our trashmen; otherwise,they'll both leave rubbish behind.
1.How did the woman feel when she heard the author's greeting?
A.Doubtful. B.Embarrassed.
C.Frightened. D.Pitiful.
2.At the end of the passage,what's the author's attitude to his job?
A.He is ashamed of it.
B.He is boastful about it.
C.He is proud of it.
D.He isn't serious about it.
3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Both the facilities and the thoughts of society may go wrong.
B.Both the trashmen and the economists should not be respected.
C.Both practice and theories are important.
D.Both the pipes and the theories make sense.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.An Experience as a Trashman
B.The Trashman
C.Economists and Trashmen
D.Misunderstanding
答案:
解题导语:这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一名垃圾清理工,他以前对自己的工作不认同,后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。
1.C 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“she gathered her housecoat...and retreated quickly to the door. I heard the lock click.”可知,那位女士感到害怕,故选C项。
2.C 解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I'm doing an essential task. I left this country a little cleaner...morning”可推知,作者为自己的工作感到自豪,故选C项。
3.A 解析:推理判断题。根据画线句前的“a society which...is in trouble”可推知,画线句主要是说人们对社会价值观的判断会出错,故选A项。
4.B 解析:标题判断题。根据整篇文章内容可知,作者是一名垃圾清理工,以前他对自己的工作不认同,但后来逐渐以自己的工作为荣。故选B项。A项突出的是一次经历,比较片面。

答案:
解题导语:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述作者在去工艺品店的路上搭载了一位陌生女子,这位陌生女子欣然接受作者的帮助使作者感到惊奇,然而接下来发生的事情使作者觉得这是美好的互动,这个故事旨在告诉人们:善有善报,恶有恶报。
1.B 解析:文章开头提到听见一位女士说自己的脚受伤了,并打算叫计程车可知,此处她应该是在等计程车。
2.D 解析:她要去的地方实际上就在作者要去的工艺品店的那条路上。on the way to表示“在……的路上”。第8空后的“on the way to”也是提示。
3.A 解析:根据下一句话可知,作者是开着车的。
4.C 解析:根据语境可知,作者想叫这位女士取消打车,作者会载她一程。cancel“取消”。
5.B 解析:这位女士毫不犹豫地答应乘坐作者的车,这使作者很吃惊(amazement)。
6.A 解析:参见上题解析。without hesitation“毫不犹豫”。
7.C 解析:作者不知道如果自己处于这种情况,是否也会这么容易相信陌生人。trusting“容易相信他人的,轻信的”。
8.D 解析:她要去的地方就在作者要去的地方的那条路上。right在此处为副词,表示“就在(某个位置或地方)”。
9.B 解析:根据上一句话可知,两人要去同一方向真是一个美好的巧合。此处可用排除法,结合选项可知,只有B项符合语境。
10.A 解析:当作者拿起要买的东西准备付账时,作者后面的女士说她有优惠券。pick up“拿起”。
11.D 解析:购买这家商店的任何商品都可以使用这张优惠券。item“一件商品或物品”。
12.C 解析:因为这位女士还有一张优惠券,所以她把这张优惠券给了作者。extra“额外的,另外的”。
13.B 解析:作者得到了这张优惠券,当然会很高兴,于是给了女士一张微笑卡。
14.D 解析:俗话说,一报还一报,但是有时很难明白是怎么回事,因为往往不是现世报。work意为“起作用”。
15.A 解析:我们的每个行为都会产生涟漪。create“产生”。
16.C 解析:我们的行为所产生的影响最终又会回到我们身上,即指一报还一报。come back“回来”。
17.C 解析:因为有时行为所产生的影响来得较迟,即不是现世报,因此我们会忘记它们之间的联系。
18.A 解析:在给予中,自己也得到了回馈。giving与receiving呼应。
19.B 解析:从他人那里作者学会了应接受别人的帮助。由前一句中的“I'm also opening myself”可知,应选B项。
20.D 解析:此处和文章第二段的最后一句话呼应,表示提供的帮助。
