The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8...

    The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine. As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one coming most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.

Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20- year-old Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window, in visible pain.

Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.

It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, "My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly." For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.

1.Where was the first sound actually from?

A.A house on fire. B.A car crash.

C.The bedroom window. D.The basement.

2.What do we know about Quintin Thompson?

A.He saved his car from fire. B.He was successfully rescued.

C.He remained calm all the time. D.He was capable of helping himself out.

3.Which of the following best explains "empathy” underlined in the last paragraph?

A.Honesty. B.Wisdom. C.Sympathy. D.Responsibility.

4.Which words can best describe Damian Languell?

A.Daring and generous. B.Caring and grateful.

C.Courageous and noble. D.Ambitious and reliable.

 

1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了Damian Languell勇敢地救出了一起车祸中的幸存者Quintin Thompson的故事。因为他的英勇行为,Languell被列入了现实生活中改变世界的英雄名单。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段中The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine.(清晨8点15分, Damian Languell被吵醒的声音太大了,以至于他以为那声音是从缅因州Wade的家中传出来的)以及A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.(一辆汽车绕在树的底部,发动机着火了)可推知,第一个声音实际上是车祸发出的。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.(现在Thompson自由了,Languell把他拉了出来,在整辆车起火之前把他拉到安全的地方)可知,Quintin Thompson成功获救。故选B。 3.词义猜测题。根据下文My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly.(我很同情汤普森。当你接近那种程度的伤害时,你会直接感受到)可推知,正是这种同情心促使Languell伸出援手的,由此可知,划线单词意思为“同情心”。故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.(他用随身携带的小刀割断了Thompson的安全带。现在Thompson自由了,Languell把他拉了出来,在整辆车起火之前把他拉到安全的地方)可知,Languell不怕危险将Thompson从车里救了出来。由此可知,Languell很勇敢;根据最后一段中For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.(因为他的英勇行为,朗格尔被列入了现实生活中改变世界的英雄名单)可推知,Languell的行为很高尚。故选C。

The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”

At this time some expression of irritation(恼怒)was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff(生硬回绝). “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”

This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”

A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(发皱的)diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son,
