选修七 Unit 4 课下语篇提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2019·合肥第三次质检)A seemingly small gesture at a restaurant outside Houston that wasn't part of the job description for a Waffle House waitress has now had a big effect on her life.
It happened last weekend, when 18yearold Evoni Williams was serving an elderly man breakfast.He needed help.So Williams leaned over the table with a fork and a knife and cut up his ham for him.It might have ended there, but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online.
“I didn't know the photo was taken until a couple of hours later,” Williams told the Houston Chronicle. “When I saw it, it's just something I would do for anybody.I was so busy in here, and I actually took the time to stop and hear what he had to say instead of walking past him.”
It apparently meant something to others too.As of Sunday, more than 130,000 people had reacted to the post and nearly 7,000 have shared it.But the story has extended beyond the Internet.Williams, a recent Texas City High School graduate, was honored at a ceremony, Thursday, with a $16,000 scholarship to Texas Southern University.Williams has reportedly been working fulltime at the Waffle House to earn money toward school.Texas Southern University has assigned a counselor to help her begin her degree and she is planning to study business management.
Media at the local, national and international level have all picked up on the story.It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet: like a New York City police officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots, or a restaurant goer whose wife died of cancer anonymously (匿名地) paying for the meal of another cancer patient.
语篇解读:即将上大学的Evoni Williams在一家餐馆打工赚学费,他的一次善意的行为被顾客拍照并上传到网络,接着引起很多关注并由此得到了该大学的奖学金和学业上的帮助。
1.Why did Laura Wolf take the photo and post it online?
A.She was really into recording some small gestures.
B.She wanted to draw attention to the restaurant.
C.She was touched by the considerate waitress.
D.She got paid by the restaurant to do so.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online”可知,Laura Wolf拍照并上传到网上的原因是那位体贴的服务员的行为感动了她。故选C项。
2.What words can be used to best describe Evoni Williams?
A.Independent and caring. B.Patient and curious.
C.Kind and generous. D.Energetic and lucky.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句“When I saw it, it's just something I would do for anybody ...instead of walking past him.”和第四段倒数第二句“Williams has reportedly been working fulltime at the Waffle House to earn money toward school.”可推知,Evoni Williams是一个独立且关心他人的人。
3.Why is a New York City police officer mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To prove the power of the media.
B.To advocate helping those in need.
C.To show more people tend to use the Internet.
D.To argue the Internet is the center of attention.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句“Media at the local, national and international ... attention of the Internet”可知,此处意在强调媒体有巨大的作用,后面举的两个例子应是为了说明这一结论,故选A。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Wide web, colorful life
B.Small gesture, big effect
C.Little effort, big reward
D.Young mind, great influence
解析:选B 标题归纳题。根据第一段内容及下文女服务员因一次小的善意之举而获得很多关注并得到大学奖学金和学业上的帮助可推知,这篇文章的主旨是“小举动,大影响”。故选B项。
