　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　Well, Mrs Evens, I've done my best to look after David. I've tidied his room up every day, got him a meal whenever he needed one and made sure he's always had a clean shirt to put on. It's not been easy, you know. David has had the best of attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend to his home he has got quite miserable and unfriendly. He comes in at all hours and his behavior—well it's quite hard to put up with—and it's all because of this friend. I'm sure he's a bad influence. You see, David's a visitor and doesn't fully understand our ways.

　　He used to study most evenings. He's got through quite a bit of work. He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large posters. He'd ask Mr Smith and me up for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country. He's very good at the guitar, you know.

　　I don't want to appear as if I'm running after him but it's about time we made it up. I'm sure he's upset because I told him off. It might be a good idea to take him out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend. I don't know whether it will do any good but we can try. I'm glad I've had this little chat with you, Mrs Evens, and I'll let you know how I get on.

　　(2010·福建省龙岩市高中毕业班第一次质检)

　　Living in a foreign culture there are many times when I realize that my perspective(观点)on life is drastically different from those Koreans I interact(相互影响)with on a daily basis. This past week I have been greatly challenged to change my perspective and here is why.

　　My dream in life is to become a doctor, one who changes the world. But last week I opened an email from UBC that contained the words “regrets”， no interview. I didn't get an interview to medical school. Thus I will not be entering school for September 2009. My immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and anger—mostly directed at myself for not working hard enough, for not seeking out the opportunities necessary to have a good application, for simply not being good enough. My mind was full of hopelessness and despair that left me with no desire to further seek for the dream that I've held for quite a time now.

　　During the past week two things happened. At church our pastor mentioned perspective in a section of his sermon(说教). He stated that when we take our eyes off ourselves and realize God's greatness, our circumstances will be seen through a new perspective.

　　The second thing that reminded me to look at perspective was reading a book. The Mitford Series is so good if you are looking for books to read. So last night I was reading and one of the main characters(who is a priest)is trying to figure out what to say at church. His sermon ended up saying “In everything we give thanks.” It is easy to give thanks when we feel successful in life. It is easy to give thanks when we receive a blessing. But seriously, who in their right mind says thanks for the financial problems I have?

　　文章大意：我在朝鲜的生活使我对生活的观点有了些许改变。

　　6．Where does the author probably live now?

　　A．In the USA.

　　B．In Britain.

　　C．In China.

　　D．In Korea.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。由第一段第一句话“those Koreans I interact(相互影响)with on a daily basis”可推知，我现在住在朝鲜。

　　7．How did she feel when the author received the email from UBC?

　　A．Surprised.

　　B．Disappointed.

　　C．Excited.

　　D．Pleased.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。由第二段第五句话“My immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and anger”可知，我很失望也很生气。

　　8．In the first pastor's view, when we face disappointment or despair, we should________.

　　A．turn to God for help

　　B．say thanks to it

　　C．see it in another way

　　D．praise others for it

　　答案：C　细节理解题。由第三段可知，面对失望和绝望时，换种角度生活会更好。

　　9．What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．The author can't really free from the disappointment.

　　B．The author thinks the second sermon is wiser.

　　C．The author still wants to be a doctor.

　　D．The author thanks God for not being admitted by the university.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。由结尾的反问句“But seriously, who in their right mind says thanks for the financial problems I have？”可知，作者并没有完全解脱开。
