高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New York City taxi.

I was on my way to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right lane when a black car suddenly sped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My driver fit the brakes hard, skidded, and missed the other car by a few inches. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!

“Why did you just do that?” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital!”

This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”.

“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment,” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them will, and move on. You’ll be happier because of what you have done.”

I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people—at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, “I’m not going to dump anymore.”

1.What happened when the writer was taking a taxi?

A. He saw a car accident.　　 B. Someone destroyed the taxi.

C. The taxi driver was injured.　　 D. Another car almost hit the taxi.

2.How did the taxi driver deal with the other driver’s behavior?

A. He shouted back at the driver.

B. He sent the driver to the hospital.

C. He was friendly towards the driver.

D. He dumped some garbage in front of his car.

3.What does the taxi driver mean when he says “Many people are like garbage trucks”?

A. Many people like to drive garbage trucks.

B. Many people dump garbage wherever they like.

C. Many people are warm-hearted and make others happy.

D. Many people need to dump their feelings now and then.

4.According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?

A. Dump your garbage on him or her, too.

B. Be friendly and go on with your own work.

C. Tell them to dump their garbage in the right place.

D. Try your best to encourage them not to do that again.

Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.

“Lucky you!”

“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”

In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.

In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”

At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.

1.Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.

A. instructor　　 B. camper　　 C. student　　 D. reporter

2.Ho w many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?

A. Once　　 B. Twice　　 C. Three times　　 D. Many times

3.Which is the correct order about the story?

①The boy danced joyfully with two girls.

②The boy went back to school and made new friends.

③The boy refused to join in the activities.

④The boy's mother made a phone call to the writer.

A. ①②③④　　 B. ②③①④　　 C. ③①②④　　 D. ④③②①

4.From Paragraph 4，we can infer (推断）that　 Tommy's mother was very _______to the writer.

A. thankful　　 B. helpful　　 C. faithful(忠实的)　　 D. harmful
