Question

【題目】 One night in April, Corey Simmons got on the New York City subway, heading from Manhattan Brooklyn to pick up his son from the boy’s grandmother’s.

Simmons knew he needed to open the green folder（文件夾）on his legs, becauseinside lay his son’s math homework that father and son were supposed to complete together.

His son, who was in the third grade, had just failed a test on fractions（分?jǐn)?shù)）.

Simmons, 40, was never great at math. He remembered little about fractions. He opened the folder and started on a problem, but wasn’t sure if he was doing it correctly. That was when a man got on the subway and sat next to him.

“He looked like a teacher or something,” Simmons thought. “He looked like he knew something about math.”

Like most New Yorkers, Simmons . But this time, he shared his problem with the stranger. To his surprise, the man offered to help. The two men talked through the man problems. The stranger helped Simmons understand them, so he could later teach his son. The moment was captured by Denise Wilson, who was heading home from her job and saw the pair doing homework. She posted the photo online. “I really love seeing things like this especially in New York,” she wrote. “To be a dad…and put down his pride and learn from a complete stranger… it was really a moving moment.”

The 20-minute subway lesson gave Simmons high hopes that his son would pass the next test. “He is going to surprise his teacher,” Simmons said.

【解析】

Simmons的兒子數(shù)學(xué)考試沒有及格，他希望能幫助他的兒子，他想做一做兒子的數(shù)學(xué)題，但對分?jǐn)?shù)題他也幾乎全忘記了。在去接兒子的地鐵上，他遇到一個陌生人，好像會數(shù)學(xué)題，他放下自己的驕傲，向那個人請教。這一幕被另外一個人看到，拍了下來，傳到了網(wǎng)上。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段Simmons, 40, was never great at math.可知，Simmons40歲了。故應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第五段“He looked like a teacher or something,” Simmons thought. “He looked like he knew something about math.”可知，Simmons覺得那個人好像是個老師，他好像懂點(diǎn)數(shù)學(xué)，于是向那個人求助。故應(yīng)選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)下句話But this time, he shared his problem with the stranger可知，But表示轉(zhuǎn)折，因此空格處應(yīng)表示和But后相反的意思，即“很多紐約人不經(jīng)常在地鐵上和別人說話”，故應(yīng)選D。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的語境The moment was captured by Denise Wilson, who was heading home from her job and saw the pair doing homework. She posted the photo online.可知，下句話提到“她把照片傳到了網(wǎng)上”，因此她是把這一幕拍攝了下來。由此可知captured意為“拍攝”，故應(yīng)選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文給我們講述了一個關(guān)心孩子數(shù)學(xué)成績的父親，在地鐵上，放下自己的驕傲、自尊，虛心向別人求教的故事。故A選項(xiàng)“地鐵上感人的一幕”能概括文章大意，點(diǎn)明文章主旨，作為題目最合適，故選A。

這篇短文給我們講述了一個關(guān)心孩子數(shù)學(xué)成績的父親，在地鐵上，放下自己的驕傲、自尊，虛心向別人求教的故事。短文是記敘文，敘述清晰，比較容易理解。題型包括細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題、詞義猜測題和主旨大意題，考查非常全面。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解文意；然后根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句作答。如第3小題，這是一個推測題，要求在空格處填寫適當(dāng)?shù)木渥印＿@需要學(xué)生們結(jié)合上下文的意思，分析文章的邏輯進(jìn)行解答。由下句話But this time, he shared his problem with the stranger“但是，這一次他和陌生人分享了他的題目”，句中But表示轉(zhuǎn)折，因此空格處應(yīng)表示和But后相反的意思，即“很多紐約人不經(jīng)常在地鐵上和別人說話”，故應(yīng)選D。猜詞題考查學(xué)生們根據(jù)上下文語境猜測生詞意思的能力，做題是一定要將單詞放在語境中猜測，如第4小題，根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的語境The moment was captured by Denise Wilson, who was heading home from her job and saw the pair doing homework. She posted the photo online.可知，下句話提到“她把照片傳到了網(wǎng)上”，因此她是把這一幕拍攝了下來。由此可知captured意為“拍攝”，故應(yīng)選B。
