Question

【題目】 Two girls, one older and the other younger, became close friends as a result of the same misfortune they met with--a fire made them lose their homes and their mothers. Both of them were disfigured and had several operations on their faces, yet they said they were fortunate enough to be alive.

Girl A（the older one）, returning from the hospital's ICU to her bed, was scared and almost passed out at the first looking like a ghost, as she saw herself reflected by the stainless steel railings around her bed. She said "I met a ghost on the railing. How horrible! I was really terrified, but I didn't collapse（崩潰）completely. When is it that one feels grateful for his or her survival? It must be now like this. Thank goodness! I am still alive."

The first phone call that Girl A gave to Girl B（the younger one）raised a question: "Do you know why I am so glad?" She gave the answer without waiting for a reply, "Because when I got hold of a loop（吊圈）on a bar in the bus to make myself stand like others, I felt very happy that I had a pair of hands."

Girl B's words were also very moving. She replied, "Hey, you know, don't be surprised by what I'm going to say. It was true. Let me ask you first. Do I look pretty? No, of course not. But before 11 years old I was pretty. I had snow-white skin, big eyes and a round face. I was also a wild kid. I think I'd grow up naughty if I was not properly educated. I would fall in love with other boys and become a bad girl, if I hadn't met the disaster. I disliked going to school. I'd prefer playing all day long. If there were not such a fire, I wouldn't have had chances of meeting so many kind strangers that help me to realize how wonderful life is. If there were not such an accident, I would grow into a beautiful lady. But now I am more considerate, grateful, hard-working and independent of others. Such a person as I am today will always be pretty all my life."

We never know what is waiting for us ahead. Yet, we still have the right to choose a positive attitude to face it.

【解析】

短文介紹了兩個女孩因同樣的不幸而成為親密的朋友。遭受火災(zāi)的不幸并沒有讓她們放棄對生活的希望，她們樂觀地面對人生。故事也告訴我們，我們永遠無法預(yù)知將來會發(fā)生什么，然而我們?nèi)匀挥袡?quán)選擇一種積極的態(tài)度來面對眼前所發(fā)生的一切。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)前面的句子“-a fire made them lose their homes and their mothers.” 火災(zāi)使她們失去了家園和母親。以及“disfigured”所在句子的后半部分“and had several operations on their faces”臉上做了幾次手術(shù)。由此判斷兩個女孩在火災(zāi)中毀容。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“Girl A (the older one ), returning from the hospital’s ICU to her bed, was scared and almost passed out at the first looking like a ghost, as she saw herself reflected by the stainless steel railings around her bed.”可知，女孩看到自己像一個幽靈一樣，不能接受臉上的變化，差點暈過去。故選A。

【3】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“I was really terrified, but I didn’t collapse(崩潰) completely.”可知，女孩（年齡較大的）并沒有完全崩潰，沒有放棄希望，故A選項錯誤；從兩個女孩的言語中我們可以知道，這兩個女孩沒有放棄對生活的信仰，仍然感到感激，故B答案正確；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的句子“I disliked going to school. I’d prefer playing all day long. If there were not such a fire, I wouldn’t have had chances of meeting so many kind strangers that help me to realize how wonderful life is.”可知，女孩（年齡較小的）在火災(zāi)發(fā)生前不喜歡上學(xué)，整天玩，故C項錯誤。故選B。

【4】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。短文首先交代了火災(zāi)發(fā)生前年齡較小的女孩討厭上學(xué)，火災(zāi)發(fā)生后，兩個女孩的媽媽在火災(zāi)中失去了生命，年齡較大的女孩毀容后做了面部手術(shù)；后來兩個女孩在電話里交談，相互鼓勵，她們顯得很樂觀，沒有放棄對生活的信仰。故答案為C。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題。 A terrible Fire可怕的火災(zāi)；Two Terrified Girls兩個驚恐的女孩；Rise from the Fire從火災(zāi)中振作起來。同樣的不幸讓兩個女孩而成為親密的朋友，受火災(zāi)的不幸并沒有讓她們放棄對生活的希望，她們樂觀地面對人生。所以C答案最能反應(yīng)文章的主旨大意。故選C。

這篇短文介紹了兩個遭遇相同的小女孩成為好朋友的故事。啟示我們：生活中無論遇到什么困難，都要勇敢地去面對，保持一種積極樂觀的心態(tài)。題目中設(shè)置了細節(jié)理解、詞義猜測、判斷正誤和主旨大意題，考查較為全面。在解答詞義猜測題時，由于短文中出現(xiàn)了部分生詞，在不允許查字典的情況下，只能運用“猜測詞義法”來猜測單詞的意思。猜詞的技巧有多種，可以通過因果關(guān)系，對比關(guān)系猜詞；也可以通過同義詞，反義詞或構(gòu)詞法猜詞，以及上下文的句意去判斷，如第1小題，可以通過上下文語境，運用邏輯推理能力，準確猜出詞義。
