Question

Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall over and drop all of the books. He was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（隨身聽）. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(鎖柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

試題分析：
小題1:D 推理題。根據文章最后一段I cleaned out my locker(鎖柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else.說明Bill把自己的柜子都清理了，在根據第一段內容可知他把東西都帶著回家了，故D正確。
小題2:B 推理題。根據第一段He was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（隨身聽）.他帶著籃球和隨身聽說明他肯定很喜歡打籃球和聽音樂，故B正確。
小題3:A 細節題。根據第二段4,5行they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years.說明他們是在同一所初中和高中，故A正確。
小題4:C 推理題。根據第一段倒數1,2行he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.說明Bill那段時間一切都不順利，故應該是與女朋友分手了，故C正確。
小題5:D 推理題。通讀全文可知Mark一開始并不知道Bill要自殺，他只是看到他的東西掉了，而去幫他，后來兩個人談的很投機就成了好朋友，故D正確。
點評：文章講述了Mark無意的一個行為卻挽救了Bill的性命，告訴我們要做善事，也許無意中的一個小小的行動就會導致一個幸福的結尾。以間接事實的推理為主，結合上下文提供的語境和信息進行簡單的概括和判斷。
