解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是在一个大雾天,Smith先生要去开一个很重要的会。在这样的天气里,人们很容易迷路。幸运的是,Smith先生得到了一个陌生人的帮助。这个人在茫茫大雾中没有费什么力气就找到了Smith先生要去的地方,原来他是一个盲人。
小题1:词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在的句子以及上下文的意思可知,在一个雾很大的一天,Smith先生要去开一个很重要的会议,He tried to walk there but found he was quite lost. Suddenly he bumped into a
stranger.他走路去那里,但是发现自己迷路了。这时他碰到了一个陌生人。故bump into在这里的意思应该是偶然碰到。故选B。
小题2:推理判断题。根据短文中Buses, cars and taxis were not able to run and were standing by the side of the
road.可知,在雾大的天气里,开车是很危险的,故B这个句子是正确的;根据People were trying to find their way about on foot but were losing their way in the fog.可知,在大雾中,人们很容易迷路,故C这个句子也是正确的;根据The fog was getting thicker every minute可知,雾变得越来越大了,故D这个句子也是正确的。而根据故事的结尾我们知道,这个帮助Smith先生的陌生人是一个盲人,因此A不对。故选A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据故事的大意我们可以知道,这个陌生人在茫茫大雾里好像没有费什么事,就帮助Smith先生找到了他要去的地方,因为他是一个盲人,他不是通过眼睛来看路,而是通过自己的心。故应该选D。
小题4:主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述的是在一个大雾天,Smith先生要去开一个很重要的会。在这样的天气里,人们很容易迷路。幸运的是,Smith先生得到了一个陌生人的帮助。原来这个人是一个盲人,这种天气对他来说没有什么影响。故C选项在一个雾天一个盲人帮助Smith领路最符合文意。故选C 。

举一反三
To: manager@tastytreat.com
Date: Monday, 7th October, 3:34 p.m.
From: raymondyuen@canada.net
Subject: Complaint
Dear Mr. Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing(失望).
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(作料).When we told her it had legs, she apologized
(="said" sorry) and took the food away.
We asked for the pay for my wife’s meal bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The headwaiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced(被迫)to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite headwaiter and a full refund(退款)for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen
