Question

One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station. A pre-teen boy approached my car and asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week. He stated that if they did not come up with $25 they would be evicted that same evening. Having worked in social services before and having doubt about this, I asked why his mother hadn’t applied for social services for assistance. The boy said that they needed to remain in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother, who lived out of town, could take them in. I gave the boy what I had — $5. He thanked me and continued to wander the parking lot asking for help. I got my gas and drove away.

Some weeks ago, a boy asked me for money and I told him I didn’t have any though I did. Yet, I thought about it for a while and went looking for the boy to give him a dollar. But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. “This time,” I thought, “I’ll do it differently.” I went to my bank and got an additional $20, then I returned to the gas station. The boy was still there. I observed him shyly approaching strangers who walked past him without notice. I pulled up and waved at the boy to come over. I handed him the $20 bill. He reached through my car window and gave me a huge hug. His hug told me all I needed to know — that finally this kid could get out of the rain, the cold and the darkening skies and go inside where it was warm.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了我在一个下雨的晚上在加油站立帮助一个男孩的故事，以此告诉我们要多帮助那些需要帮助的人，我们的社会才会更美好。

1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第四句I gave the boy what I had — $5.和第二段最后三句I handed him the $20 bill. He reached through my car window and gave me a huge hug. His hug told me all I needed to know — that finally this kid could get out of the rain, the cold and the darkening skies and go inside where it was warm.可知我在一个下雨的晚上给了那个小男孩25美元帮助他们脱离难关。故C正确。

2.B 猜测词义题。根据前句A pre-teen boy approached my car and asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week.男孩走近我的车向我要钱，帮助他们在宾馆里再待一个星期。再本句He stated that if they did not come up with $25 they would be evicted that same evening.如果他们拿不出25美元，那么这个晚上他们就要被驱赶出宾馆。根据常识可知住宾馆要钱，如果没有钱，就会被赶出来。故B正确。

3.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第四句Having worked in social services before and having doubt about this, I asked why his mother hadn’t applied for social services for assistance.可知作者曾经在社会服务行业里工作过。故A正确。

4.He reached through my car window and gave me a huge hug.我给他20美元以后，他从车窗里伸出手来给了我大大的拥抱。说明他很感激我给他的帮助。故A正确。

【名师点睛】

本文5.

1.选项取舍

（1）内容与原文一致，通常要淘汰。如果题目是推断题，而某个选项的内容却与原文相同，那么这是与推断的含义相悖的，所以要淘汰。

（2）推理的结论不要偏离文章的过远，一步推出的结论最理想。很多同学喜欢发散思维，抓住一个方面能够想到很多，有时是自己主观上喜欢某个答案，而硬是要通过各种方法来想到该答案。久而久之，一种错误的推理方式也就固化在其头脑当中，后患无穷。

（3） 不要脱离文章的主线，与文章的主基调相符的结论最可靠。无论哪种题型，无论考查的侧重点是主旨还是推断，他们都不可能脱离文章的基调而存在。把握住文章的基调，按照基调来选择正确的答案可以说是一种必胜的武器。

（4） 客观，不要受自己主观意愿驱使。做推断题要始终以原文为依

托，紧紧地围绕原文展开推理，围绕原文来考虑对选项的取舍。有一部分同学十分喜欢根据已有的知识想当然的进行推理，对于文章的内容置之不理，完全按照自己的喜好来选择答案，忽略了文章的内容，往往题目就会做错。

2.注重整体

所谓的注重整体，就是要在处理推断题是要对文章的整体线索要有所把握，了解作者的侧重点，按照这根主线来取舍推断题的四个备选项。

3.注重逻辑

在处理推断题时，一定要注意，真缺德选项一定是非常符合逻辑，非常符合正常思维的。把握住这一点，就要对那些推理正常思维方式而得出的选项给予摈弃。很多同学喜欢想当然，从而得出五花八门的答案，根本原因是脱离了正常的合乎逻辑的思维方式。
