Question

【題目】閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

As I was walking home, a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice, walking in front of me and carrying some of the same high school books I had with me. I caught up to him, and said “Hello”. I could tell he was startled, and dropped one of his books. I picked it up and as I handed it to him, he said “Thank you” in a strange way, like with a strong accent (口音).

We soon began walking together and talking. It turns out he was in my science class, and I didn’t even know it!

His name was Ahmad, and his family had just moved here this school year. He invited me into his house, and his family treated me like a special guest, which made me feel very welcome. He said hospitality (好客) is very basic to his culture, and strangers were always treated very kindly. His mom brought out some great food, and offered me some tea. Ahmad’s father and two sisters wanted to hear all about me and my family, and my schooling.

Ahmad’s whole family had to leave their lifelong home because war had broken out, and it wasn’t safe there anymore. They left with only what they could carry. His family was happy to feel safe, and they got used to American culture quickly. They seemed pleased that Ahmad had brought a friend home to meet them.

And as my friendship with Ahmad has continued, I now realize that the world is so much bigger than I thought! I also realize that your friends don’t have to be just like you. Differences make the world go round.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

本文是記敘文。作者偶遇了一個(gè)來(lái)自另外一個(gè)國(guó)家的男孩，盡管他們之間有著很大的文化差異，他們還是成為了很好的朋友。

【1】C 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的…and dropped one of his books及in a strange way, like with a strong accent.可知，這個(gè)男孩不認(rèn)識(shí)作者，對(duì)作者的突然問(wèn)候感到吃驚，以至于掉了一本書。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句可知，在他們的文化中，殷勤好客是一種基本的禮節(jié)，他們總是善待陌生人。故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第三句…and they got used to American culture quickly可知，這家人很快適應(yīng)了美國(guó)文化，可以推斷出作者的國(guó)籍可能是美國(guó)。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】A 推理判斷題。通讀本文可知，作者與來(lái)自另外一個(gè)國(guó)家的男孩Ahmad在路上偶遇，男孩帶作者回家見到了他的家人。慢慢地，作者和男孩成為了很好的朋友。由此可以推斷A項(xiàng)正確。
