Question

【題目】 My parents seldom encouraged me to ask for help, so I trained myself to become as independent as possible. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.

A few years ago, I was on a trip. In order to save money, I planned to stay in a stranger's house by couch surfing（沙發(fā)客）. When I arrived in the host's city, it was rainy.

My host was very friendly. She invited me to go on a walk with her around her city. At that time, I didn't even have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wanted to ask her whether she had any shoes for me. But I didn't want to trouble her. Finally, I said nothing.

It was really cold outside, and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost all feeling in my feet.

That was all because I wouldn't ask. I wouldn't ask a simple thing like, "Hey, could you find a pair of good shoes for me?”

From that day, I tried hard to get through my fear of asking. It has taken me a long time. From my experiences, I've discovered that people are always happy to offer help. What's more, I have finally realized that asking isn't a sign of weakness（脆弱）. Asking gives you the opportunity to discover the kindness of others.

So ask. The worst that can happen is a "no". The best that can happen is an experience you'll never forget.

【解析】

本文通過(guò)講述作者的一次旅行，讓我們知道人們總是樂于提供幫助的，并且請(qǐng)求別人并不是軟弱的表現(xiàn)，詢問(wèn)給你機(jī)會(huì)去發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的善良。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)A few years ago, I was on a trip. When I arrived in the host's city, it was rainy.可知，當(dāng)作者旅行的時(shí)候天在下雨。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I wanted to ask her whether she had any shoes for me. But I didn't want to trouble her.可知，作者想要問(wèn)主人是否有鞋子，但是作者不想麻煩主人，所以最后什么也沒有說(shuō)。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)From my experiences, I've discovered that people are always happy to offer help. What's more, I have finally realized that asking isn't a sign of weakness（脆弱）可知，作者通過(guò)的經(jīng)歷，發(fā)現(xiàn)了人們總是樂于提供幫助，除此以外，作者還最終意識(shí)到詢問(wèn)請(qǐng)求并不是脆弱的一種標(biāo)志，所以這就是她通過(guò)這次旅行學(xué)到的東西。故選A。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。task任務(wù)；chance機(jī)會(huì)；excuse借口；truth事實(shí)。根據(jù)上文From my experiences, I've discovered that people are always happy to offer help.可知，作者通過(guò)自己的旅行經(jīng)歷，發(fā)現(xiàn)人們總是樂意提供幫助，可知此處是作者通過(guò)詢問(wèn)別人以后才發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的善良之處，也就是說(shuō)詢問(wèn)可以給你機(jī)會(huì)去發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的美，此處劃線部分單詞opportunity與chance意思相同，均表示機(jī)會(huì)。故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)From that day, I tried hard to get through my fear of asking. It has taken me a long time. From my experiences, I've discovered that people are always happy to offer help.以及結(jié)合文意可知，文章主要講述作者通過(guò)自己的旅行經(jīng)歷意識(shí)到不要害怕請(qǐng)求別人，特別是當(dāng)自己遇到麻煩的時(shí)候。故選C。
