When I was in my first year of high scho...

    When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible.

On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he'd walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled.

Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice"Whatever is wrong will pass. You're going to be OK, just hang on." He then smiled again and walked away.

I can't explain the effect of that man's unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I'd lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.

That was thirty years ago. And I've never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything.

If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope.

1.Where did the writer meet with the young man

A.In the school. B.In the school bus. C.In the classroom. D.In the library.

2.From the passage we may infer that the author ________

A.had known the young man for a long time

B.made friends with the young man afterwards

C.was grateful to that young man very much

D.avoided meeting the young man since then

3.The author has given a lot of help to others in order to ________

A.show his sympathy to those who are badly ill

B.give others hope of life when they are in trouble

C.realize his promise made to the young man

D.get respect from those who were helped by him

4.It can be known from the passage that ________

A.the young man always tried his best to help those who were in trouble

B.it was the young man's smile and words that made the author feel hopeful

C.the author had never been praised by others before he met with the young man

D.the author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed

 

1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者在上高中一年级的时候,有一段时间作者感到孤独和绝望,在校园里,一个陌生人对作者说了“无论发生什么事,都会过去的。一切都会好起来,只是时间的问题” 这样简单的话语给了作者希望。三十年过去了,作者依然记得那个时刻,每当作者看到一个有麻烦的人,总会想起那个年轻人,尽自己所能给处于麻烦中的人一线希望。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. 可知,有一天,我走出教室,穿过学校,赶校车回家,低着头,强忍绝望的泪水,这时一个年轻人从人行道上走向我。所以作者是在学校见到了这个陌生人。故选A项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第四段I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. 我在学校里找过他,想谢谢他,但再也没见过他。由此判断出,作者很感激那个年轻人。故选C项。 3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. 我依然记得那个时刻,每当作者看到一个有麻烦的人,总会想起那个年轻人,尽自己所能给处于麻烦中的人一线希望。故选B项。 4. 细节理解题。根据第四段I can't explain the effect of that man's unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I'd lost completely—hope. 我无法解释那个人出乎意料的善良和关心所产生的效果,他给了我一件我完全失去的东西 ---希望。由此可知,正是这个年轻人的微笑和话语让作者充满希望。故选B项。

阅读下面,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25)

Christine closed the door to Anna’s room. Inside, her classmate and friend had fallen asleep.

Downstairs, Christine’s mom, Donna, was grasping Anna’s mother Sheila around the shoulders.

“We should go,” she said. “Get some rest, huh?” Sheila nodded, blew her nose, and then waved them goodbye.

On the car ride home, Christine worked up the courage to ask the question on her mind. “Mom? Why was Sheila weeping?” She thought she knew the answer, of course: Anna’s cancer. In the past, Anna had been the neighborhood do-gooder, always going door to door for various causes: the local animal shelter, suffering children in Africa, or the families who’d lost their homes to fire. Now Anna could barely feed or dress herself. Christine thought it so unfair when bad things like this happened to good people.

“Well, it’s complex, but I guess you’re old enough to understand.”

“Understand what?”

“Understand that Anna is sick, yes, but Anna actually gets a lot of help. The government helps pay for a lot of her medicine. She gets meals delivered to her by a nonprofit. She even gets massages from local volunteers.”

“Wow!”

“Her life’s still very hard, of course, and no one would trade places with her, but when you have cancer, everyone can see that you need help, “continued Donna.” They don’t always see that the people around you are suffering.”

“People like Sheila?”

“Yes, did you know that Sheila took a break from her job to stay home with Anna?”

“No!” Christine was surprised. She had never thought about who took Anna to her appointments, or fed her when she was too weak to lift a spoon. Of course it was her family.

“Yes. So that means that many of the things they used to do with that extra money are all out the window now. They’re even worried now about keeping the house.”

“Their house? So Anna might have to move, while she’s sick?”

“If she doesn’t get better soon, and the bills keep piling up...” Donna pulled into the driveway, and just in time. Her cheeks were shining with tears.
