Question

【題目】（題文）When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down.

I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?" I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.

My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man's face looked like, but he taught me a lesson-people are more important than things.

【3】【3】D

【解析】

本文講述了有一個(gè)陌生人幫助作者的故事，作者背著弟弟，把他的鞋丟了，想把弟弟放下，去找鞋。有一位陌生人告訴他，人比東西重要，并乘坐出租車把他們送到他母親工作的地方。作者記不清那個(gè)人的樣子，也無法找到他們說聲謝謝，為此他感到抱歉。

【1】【1】A

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you.可知我這一生依賴于很多陌生人的仁慈，但是我無法找到他們，說聲謝謝，因此我為此會(huì)感到抱歉，故選A。

【2】【2】A

推理判斷題。根據(jù)It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.可知“你沒有找到那只鞋，沒關(guān)系，但是你丟了你的弟弟，那就不行了”故推斷此處表示弟弟比鞋重要，人比任何東西都重要，故選A。

【3】【3】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi. 可知這個(gè)人不僅告訴我人比東西重要，而且坐著出租車，把我送到媽媽的工作車間，故推斷這個(gè)人是善良的，故選D。
