Question

【題目】On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. He played such great music that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.

The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said, "George Black has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(認(rèn)領(lǐng))it. Soon the people were all interested in the words and wondered what it could be. After a while, a man rushed into the crowd, took the violinist's shoulders and said, “I knew you would certainly come.” The violinist asked, “Did you lose anything?” “Lottery(彩票).” The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Black's name on it. Black took it and danced happily.

Black was an office worker. He bought the lottery and won a prize of $500,000. But when he gave $50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, the lottery ticket was thrown in, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to fly to Vienna for high education. However, when he found the ticket, he put off the flight and went back to the entrance.

Later someone asked the violinist why he didn't take the lottery ticket to pay for his high education. He said, “Although I don't have much money, I live a happy life. If I lose honesty, I won't be happy forever.”

【4】 D

【5】 A

【解析】

一個(gè)小提琴手在地鐵站的入口演奏音樂(lè)，很多人都往他的帽子里扔錢(qián)。Black先生在扔錢(qián)的時(shí)候不小心把中了50萬(wàn)美元的彩票也扔了進(jìn)去。小提琴手誠(chéng)實(shí)地把彩票還給了他。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station.可知，在周五的晚上這個(gè)小提琴手來(lái)到地鐵站入口演奏。然后再根據(jù)第二段The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again第二天他又來(lái)了，因此應(yīng)該是星期六。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。劃線單詞it是一個(gè)代詞，用來(lái)代替前面出現(xiàn)的事物。根據(jù)上文It said, "George Black has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(認(rèn)領(lǐng))it. Soon the people were all interested in the words and wondered what it could be.可知，人們都想知道這個(gè)“重要的東西”是什么，it代指的是the important thing。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段Black was an office worker.可知，Black是一個(gè)辦公室職員。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段和第三段Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said, "George Black has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(認(rèn)領(lǐng))it. 、The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to fly to Vienna for high education. However, when he found the ticket, he put off the flight and went back to the entrance.可知，這個(gè)小提琴手本來(lái)計(jì)劃飛往維也納，但他發(fā)現(xiàn)了這張彩票，所以推遲了航班，想要找到彩票的主人。故應(yīng)選D。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后He said, “Although I don't have much money, I live a happy life. If I lose honesty, I won't be happy forever.”可知，這個(gè)小提琴手沒(méi)有很多錢(qián)，但是他很誠(chéng)實(shí)。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

這篇短文給我們講述了一個(gè)貧困但誠(chéng)實(shí)的小提琴手的故事，文章是記敘文，內(nèi)容比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題。推理題考查我們?cè)诶斫馕恼录?xì)節(jié)的基礎(chǔ)上，做出合理的推測(cè)和判斷，例如第1小題是一個(gè)推測(cè)題，需要我們結(jié)合文章的細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行猜測(cè)，根據(jù)短文第一段On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station.可知，在周五的晚上這個(gè)小提琴手來(lái)到地鐵站入口演奏。然后再根據(jù)第二段The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again第二天他又來(lái)了，因此應(yīng)該是星期六。故選A。
