　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

　　I took_off,_but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend’s.We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.

　　I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

　　Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery(电池)was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership－a shop selling cars was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

　　“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.

　　“Thank you”－two powerful words.They’ve easy to say and mean so much.

　　1．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City________.

　　A．to visit a friend

　　B．to see his parents

　　C．to pay at the cash register

　　D．to have more gas for his car

　　解析：选A。这是一道细节推断题。根据“...at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.”where…是修饰Oklahoma City的，可知去Oklahoma City是为了拜访一个朋友。

　　2．The underlined words“took off”in Paragraph 2 mean“________”．

　　A．turned off　B．moved off

　　C．put up

　　D．set up

　　解析：选B。这是一道猜测词义题。根据上一句“paying for gas”和后面的“had gone only a few miles”可知took off是“离开”的意思，选项move off也是“离开”的意思。turn off“关掉”；put up“拿起”；set up“设立”。

　　3．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?

　　A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.

　　B．The couple sent him a business card.

　　C．The couple offered to help him.

　　D．He called his friend for help.

　　解析：选C。这是一道细节推断题。从第二段“They said they would take me to my friend’s”和“when I got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了朋友家。

　　4．The battery of the author’s car was dead because________.

　　A．something went wrong with the lights

　　B．the meeting lasted a whole day

　　C．he forgot to turn off the lights

　　D．he drove too long a distance

　　解析：选C。这是一道细节推断题。从第四段“I’d left the lights on all day”可知作者忘记关掉车灯，灯着了一天，所以电池没电了。

　　5．By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show________.

　　A．how to write a thankyou letter

　　B．how to deal with car problems

　　C．the kindheartedness of older people

　　D．the importance of expressing thanks

　　解析：选D。这是一道主旨题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的帮助并向帮助自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的帮助后写信表示感谢对帮助自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到帮助别人是有意义的。特别是最后一句“They are easy to say and mean so much”点出了主旨。
