高二英语短对话简单题查看答案及解析

Last Tuesday, pizza delivery driver Chris Turner received a phone call from a customer who wanted him to deliver a pizza to a small cabin in the Tennessee mountains, 30 miles away from his shop. Normally, Turner wouldn’t have made a delivery so far from his normal route, but for some reason, he decided to make an exception.

It’s a good thing Turner made that trip. Though he may have hoped for a good tip, he got something much better: the opportunity to save a woman’s life.

When Turner showed up at the cabin, a man came to the door and paid for his purchase by credit card. When the man was looking down to sign his receipt, Turner noticed something very strange. Turner saw “a young lady pop over the back of the couch with her hands bound together”. She “was mouthing to me ‘please call 9-1-1’, quite a few times”, he recalled.

Turner played it cool while completing the delivery, and smilingly told the man to have a nice day. As soon as he was away from the house, he called the police from his cell phone.

Thanks to Turner’s quick work, the police were able to rescue the kidnapped woman and arrest the criminal. “She was just thanking me for trusting her,” Turner said in an interview. “She said he was going to kill her.”

We’re betting that if he gets another out-of-the-way delivery request, he won’t hesitate to make the trip. What’s a little bit of extra distance when you might be saving a life?

1.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A. Chris Turner, a helpful delivery driver

B. Home safety, a life-and-death matter

C. Kidnapped woman rescued by a pizza delivery

D. Cruel man caught by the police

2.According to the first paragraph, Chris Turner _______.

A. received a phone call for help

B. seldom made remote deliveries

C. was good at making pizza

D. first entered the mountain area

3.By giving a sign, the young woman asked Turner to _______.

A. loosen her hands              B. fight that man

C. take her away                D. call the police

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. to get a big tip, Turner delivered the pizza to the cabin

B. the criminal robbed the woman of her credit card

C. without Turner’s appearance, the woman may have died

D. Turner is a person who is always ready to help others

5.According to the passage we can know that Turner is _______.

A. brave and calm                 B. hardworking and diligent

C. shy and helpful                 D. kind and generous

Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.

“Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry---but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir---if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”

“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”

“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员）and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军）there.”

The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time---a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means long hours---maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”

Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School---written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:

I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple（跛脚的人）. But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big---that he won’t even know about.

Your son,

Herbie
