In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you'd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, “I don't want to get involved” has become a national motto.‎ Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.‎ Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line：“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? ‎ Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?‎ The idea intrigued me.‎ The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.‎ I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles：“America”．‎ For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4, 223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.‎ ‎1．Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?‎ A．Because he failed to notice this man.‎ B．Because he was driving too fast.‎ C．Because he thought the young man didn't need help.‎ D．Because he was afraid of being tricked.‎ ‎2．What was it that made the author upset?‎ A．Leaving the young man alone in the desert.‎ B．Being considered a fool.‎ C．Making the decision of not offering help so easily.‎ D．Keeping thinking about the young man.‎ ‎3．The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.‎ A．find out how long he could survive without help B．go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environment C．find out whether strangers would offer help to him D．figure out how strangers thought of his plan ‎4．In the passage, the author described his journey as a gamble because ________.‎ A．he was not so sure of the outlook of the journey B．he had no money to give to strangers C．he was sure of the coming sufferings D．he wasn't sure whether to make the journey ‎5．The following part might probably ________.‎ A．describe how he fooled the strangers B．describe how strangers went out their way to help him C．explain why people refused to help strangers D．explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way 答 案

语篇解读：这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了一个亲情故事：作者的姐姐寄给作者的包裹被投递到了一个错误的地址，但这件事却增加了她们姐妹之间的交流，增进了感情。‎ ‎1．选C　从上文提到的“sent me a package”可知，姐姐给作者邮寄(mailed)了一个包裹，故选C项。‎ ‎2．选B　根据下文中的“Christmas was drawing near”可知，礼物应在圣诞节假期之前到来，故用holiday。‎ ‎3．选D　根据3空后的“and every evening”可知，姐姐每天早晨(morning)都要查一下包裹的跟踪号。‎ ‎4．选A　根据句中的“if there was any sign of it”可知，姐姐每晚都给作者打电话，了解(find out)是否收到礼物了。take out表示“取出”；figure out表示“弄明白”；pick out表示“精心挑选”，都不符合语境。‎ ‎5．选C　根据下文“We talked about our family”可知，作者和姐姐之间的谈话(conversation)总是从询问包裹开始。‎ ‎6．选C　根据下文“We talked about”和“Of course we also talked about our jobs.”可知，二十分钟后作者和姐姐仍然在闲谈(chatting)。‎ ‎7．选B　根据上文“We talked about our family”可知她们谈论自己的家人，而选项中只有husbands属于家庭成员，由此可得出答案为B项。‎ ‎8．选D　作者和姐姐以前从来没有花那么多时间(time)交流。‎ ‎9．选A　到了圣诞节前夕她们不得不接受(accept)这个事实。ignore表示“忽视”；consider表示“考虑”；study表示“研究”，都不符合语境。‎ ‎10．选D　时间过去这么久了，还没收到包裹，因此作者认为那包裹根本就是丢了。simply表示“简直，根本”，符合语境。‎ ‎11．选B　姐姐和作者家(house)里的每个成员都逐一通电话，所以选B项。‎ ‎12．选B　从上下文可知，这里应用missing，指那个丢失了的包裹，所以选B项。‎ ‎13．选A　根据句中的“a man was standing there”可知，作者开了门，故用opened。‎ ‎14．选D　根据16空后的“I wanted you to have this in time”可知，那个人确信包裹是作者的，所以用believe，选D项。‎ ‎15．选C　作者看到那个人手中的包裹后意识到(realized)自己的包裹被投递到了错误的地址，所以选C项。‎ ‎16．选B　从语境可知，这里是转折关系。尽管他刚刚度假回来，但他想将包裹早日归还给主人，所以用but。‎ ‎17．选D　那个人不辞辛劳给作者送包裹，说明他是一个好心肠的人，所以用kind。‎ ‎18．选C　这个包裹本来属于作者，因此应该是归还给作者，选return。show表示“展示”；present表示“赠予”；offer表示“提供”，都不符合语境。‎ ‎19．选A　作者默默地(silently)感谢上帝。‎ ‎20．选D　正因为包裹没有被准时送达，作者才和姐姐有那么多的时间交流，拉近了她们之间的距离，所以用closeness。distance表示“距离”；guide表示“指导”；recognition表示“认知”，都不符合语境。‎ Ⅲ.‎ 语篇解读：当今社会，帮助陌生人的人会被当成傻瓜，在这样的导向下，人们是否还会向陌生人伸出援手？作者为了得到答案，亲历了一次“身无分文”的旅行。‎ ‎1．选D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句可知，如今人们不想因为帮助陌生人而陷入麻烦，作者正是受这种思想的影响，而没有停车。‎ ‎2．选C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.”可知，使作者感到不安的是自己怎么会那么轻易就作出了不伸出援手的决定。‎ ‎3．选C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后三句的内容以及第四段“The idea intrigued me”可知，作者决定进行这次“身无分文”的旅行是想看看是否会有陌生人帮助他，因此选择C。‎ ‎4．选A　推理判断题。根据文章的描述可知，由于现在的人们不愿意帮助陌生人，作者不知道他是否会得到帮助，因此作者把这次旅 行当成是一次冒险，说明他对这次旅行的前景不乐观，因此选择A。‎ ‎5．选B　篇章结构题。根据最后一段的描述可知，作者无论到哪儿都会得到帮助，甚至一些人宁愿违背自己的利益，也会去帮助他，因此下文作者会具体说明人们是如何尽力帮助他的。‎
