One cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand. Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.” The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(迟疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打开) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.” Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything. Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?” She answered, “The false teeth”. 小题1:According to the first paragraph, the old couple _____.A.enjoyed the scene outside the McDonald’s | B.didn’t look suitable(合适的) for the environment | C.loved being with young families and couples | D.liked the food in McDonald’s | 小题2:The little old man cut the plain hamburger in half because _____.A.he couldn’t finish eating it with one bite | B.he was very careful with his food | C.he ordered more than he could eat | D.he wanted to share it with his wife | 小题3:The young man who offered to buy the old couple food was _____.A.impolite | B.stubborn | C.sympathetic(有同情心的) | D.doubtful | 小题4:From the old lady’s answer, we know that _____.A.she was not interested in the food | B.the couple suffered a terrible toothache | C.the couple were using the same false teeth | D.actually she didn’t answer the young man’s question |

小题1:B 小题2:D 小题3:C 小题4:C |
试题分析:本文讲述了一对老夫妇在麦当劳吃饭,他们习惯于分享所有东西,就连他们的假牙也一起使用。 小题1:细节题。前文讲到some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s 都是一些年轻人在吃,所以此处老人在这里看起来并不符合这样的环境,故选B 小题2:细节推断题。从文章第二自然段和But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.可知,将汉堡包分词两半是为了给他的妻子一半,故选D 小题3:细节题。前文讲到All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.所以的人都以为他们很穷,只能买一份,故这个男同志是非常有同情心的,故选C 小题4:推断题。通过最后一段She answered, “The false teeth”.可知,他们两个老人共用一份假牙,故选C 点评:文章风趣幽默,文章有不难,学生在答题中一定要认真细致的作答以求全对。对于此类记叙文的文章一定要将文章仔细的阅读完并理解,结合题目通过题目的关键词进行定位,分析好句子的意思,即可得出答案。 |

“Now ,”Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions .” The class seems to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old!

“Where is Papa going with that ax (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. “Out to the hoghouse,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.” “I don’t see why he needs an ax,” continued Fern, who was only eight. “Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak. So your father has decided to do away with it.” “Do away with it?” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it?” “Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.” Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father. “Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said. Mr. Arable stopped. “Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.” “This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand. “Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.” “But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?” Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. It’s a pig.” “There is no difference,” replied Fern. 小题1:What puzzled Fern at the beginning?A.Why her father refused to eat breakfast. | B.If the hoghouse was big enough for many pigs. | C.How pigs were born at night. | D.What his father would do with an ax. | 小题2:Why couldn’t Fern control herself?A.Because she was afraid of killing a pig. | B.Because the pig was treated unfairly. | C.Because she loved pet pigs very much. | D.Because her father was rude to her. | 小题3:According to the passage, Fern’s father thought that ______.A.it was natural for pigs to be born small | B.he couldn’t afford to have so many pigs | C.a weak pig needed more attention | D.he was troubled by raising a weak pig | 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Fern was _________.A.kind-hearted | B.brave | C.shy | D.patient |

They are too young to 40 .” “What a 41 ! They’ll die,” said the third one. “Well! They’re nothing but 42 ,” said the first lawyer. The three men looked down and saw the mother robin 43 to her mates.
