Question

    Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. 1. There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. 2. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise ! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). 3.

Then I came to understand that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

4. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” 5.

【解析】

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己的窗户去看对面建筑里的一家，作者觉得对面的窗户需要清理，因为看不清楚是什么了。结果发现是自己家的窗户脏的原因。作者通过透过窗户看外面的这件小事让作者明白一个道理，即要评价他人时，首先要做好自己。

1.

根据“There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. 有个女人住在那里，我从没见过她，但我能看到她每天下午都坐在窗边，做针线活或者看书。”可知我与这个女的住得很近，F选项“隔壁的大楼离我的只有几英尺远”切题。故选F项。

2.

根据空格前句“After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. 几个月过去了，我开始注意到她的窗户很脏。”和空格后句“I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.” 我会对自己说”我想知道为什么那个女人不擦洗她的窗户，看起来真的很糟糕””可知我不能透过肮脏的窗户再看清楚什么了，E选项“透过肮脏的窗户，一切都不清晰”切题。故选E项。

3.

根据空格前句“Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). 对面，坐在窗边的女人清晰可见。”可知现在窗户是干净的，A选项“她的窗户干净了”切题。故选A项

4.

空格处为段首句，一般起到段落大意或承上启下的作用，根据“How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings 我多少次透过自己内心肮脏的窗户，透过自己的缺点，看着别人，批评别人。”可知这是我的感悟，再根据前文“Then I came to understand that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. 后来我才明白，我一直在批评她那肮脏的窗户，但我一直透过自己那肮脏的窗户看着她。”可知“通过窗户看外面”这件事让作者有所感悟，D选项“这对我来说是非常重要的一课。”切题。故选D项。

5.

空格处为段尾句，也是文章尾句，起到总结段落大意或呼应文章主题的作用，根据“Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” 从那以后，每当我想要评价一个人的时候，我都会先问自己”我是不是透过自己肮脏的窗户看着他? ”，”可知作者明白了要评价他人，首先要做好自己，即先要把自己的“窗户”清理干净，G选项“”我努力清洁自己世界的窗户，让自己更清楚地看到周围的世界。故选G项。
