  (1) :D他看到一位老妇人和她停在路边的车子。他能看得出这位老妇人需要帮助。因此他把车停在她的车前面然后走了出去。

  即使他面带微笑,老妇人依然感到害怕。他看上去可不安全,而且又穷又饿。

  他说,“我来帮助你,夫人。我的名字叫布莱恩·安德森。”其实只是爆胎而已,但是对这样一位老妇人来说已经算是很糟糕了。布莱恩帮老妇人更换了轮胎,老妇人感激不已。紧接着,老妇人问布莱恩应该付多少钱给他。老妇人已经想象到了所有可能发生的不好的事情。布莱恩告诉老妇人,如果她真的想要报答他,那么下一次当她遇到需要帮助的人的时候,她可以伸出援手。

  沿着公路开了几英里,老妇人看到一间小咖啡馆。她走进去。服务员脸上带着甜蜜的笑容,那笑容即便在站了一整天之后还是无法抹去。老妇人注意到眼前的这个服务员已经有了大约8个月的身孕,但她却不让自己的痛苦为人所知。老妇人想知道是什么让一个几乎一无所有的人却仍然给予一个陌生人这么多。这时,她想到了布莱恩。用餐之后,老妇人付了一张100美元的钞票。服务员马上回去找零钱,但当她回来的时候,发现餐巾纸上有这样的几行字:“你不匙我什么。曾经有个人帮助过我,就像我现在帮助你一样。如果你真的想要回报我,就这样做:不要让爱的传递在你这里停止。”在餐巾纸的底下还放着4张100美元的钞票。晚上服务员回到家,想起了老妇人写下的话。老妇人怎么知道她和她的丈夫是多么地需要钱来迎接下个月即将出生的婴儿呢?她躺在她的丈夫身边,轻柔地低语。“一切都会好的。我爱你,布莱恩·安德森”。

  推理题。题二F意为“为什么当布莱恩试图帮助老妇人的时候,她感到担忧?”从文中第二段对老妇人心理活动的描写“He didn’t look safe.He looked poorand hungry.”

  可以推断老妇人害怕布莱恩伤害他。故D为正确答案。

  (2) :C推理题。题干意为“为什么老妇人想要付钱给布莱恩?”从文中第三段对老妇人心理活动的描写“Shehad already imagined all the temble things that could have happened.”可以推断老妇人想要破财免灾。故c为正确答案。

  (3) :D推理题。题干意为“第五段中划线的单词erase是什么意思?”从第五段第三句话“She noticedthe waitress was nearly eight months pregnant,but she never let her aches be noticed.”可以推知服务员尽管已经怀了8个月的身孕,但是不想让别人感到她身体的不适,因此竭力让自己的笑容不被抹去,故D为正确答案。

  (4) :A细节题。题干意为“老妇人建议服务员如果想要报答她的话,要怎么做?”从文中第六段最后一句话“If youreally want to pay me back,here is whatyou d0:Do not let this chain oflove end with you.”可知,老妇人让服务员将爱心传递下去,也就是继续帮助其他人。故A为正确答案。

  (5) :B主旨题。题干意为“以下哪项最适合做本文的标题?”通过本文叙述的两个故事可以看出文章的主题是爱的传递,布莱恩付出的爱心经由老妇人又传递回了他本人和他的妻子。故B为正确答案。
