　　[2017·百校联盟冲刺卷]

　　I was living in Sâo Paulo, Brazil. It is a huge city, with more people living in it than in my whole country

　　(Hungary，which has a population of 10 million). We rented a flat in a community, but there was a shanty town(贫民区)quite near.

　　For several months I didn't have a car, so three times a week, I used public transportation to go to the city centre.During these trips, I would ride with the people who took the same bus from the shanty town to go to work.

　　When I got on the bus, all the seats were already taken.But when people saw that my bag was heavy (full of books),

　　they offered to hold it on their lap to make me feel lighter.

　　At first, I was shocked. Then I realized that these people had absolutely no intention to steal from me:

　　they only

　　wanted to help.

　　Once, on my way back, I had to wait for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman who was apparently very poor.

　　She carried a small paper bag of popcorn and nothing else.

　　While we were waiting, she walked over and offered me some popcorn. I thanked her, but didn't want to help myself to it.

　　She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was evidently her only food.

　　That was

　　the

　　first

　　time

　　I

　　thought

　　about

　　how people who have almost nothing,

　　are sometimes able to share what they have much more “easily”

　　than those who own a lot.I wonder if it's true that the more you have,

　　the bigger the burden is，and the more difficult to share anything with others.

　　I was so moved by that woman's simple generosity that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared what she had with me nevertheless.

　　1．Where did the author live?

　　A. In Hungary.

　　B. In the centre of Sâo Paulo.

　　C. In a shanty town of Sâo Paulo.

　　D. In a community near to a shanty town.

　　2．Why the author were shocked when people offered to help carry his heavy bag at first?

　　A. Because they would borrow his important books.

　　B. Because he hadn't met this kind of things.

　　C. Because they weren't familiar with him

　　D. Because he thought they would steal his books.

　　3．What happened at the bus stop on the author's way home?

　　A. A poor woman ate popcorn without inviting him.

　　B. A poor woman insisted on sharing her popcorn with him.

　　C. He offered a poor woman some popcorn to eat.

　　D. He provided his books to a poor woman to read.

　　4．From the passage，we know that________.

　　A．sharing things with rich people brings opportunities to earn money

　　B．people who have almost nothing must be the most generous people

　　C．sharing things with other people doesn't depend on whether you are rich or poor

　　D．people who own a lot must be the most generous people

　　[文章大意]　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在巴西的圣保罗生活时，遇见的那些善良的人和那些感人的事情。

　　1．D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I was living in Sâo Paulo, Brazil.”和“We rented a flat in a community, but there was a shanty town(贫民区)quite near.”可知，作者居住在巴西圣保罗的一个社区，但离一个贫民区很近。

　　2．D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Then I realized that these people had absolutely no intention to steal from me：they only wanted to help.”我意识到这些人完全没有要偷我的东西的意图，他们只是想帮助我。可知，作者刚开始感到震惊是因为他误解了这些人，以为他们要偷他的书。

　　3．B。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中的“She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was evidently her only food.”可知答案选B项。

　　4．C。推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后两段可知，与别人分享东西，与贫富无关。故选C项。

　　B

　　[2017·辽宁高考]

　　“Indeed，” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.”

　　But the father of America was not the father of

　　bug. When Washington wrote

　　that,

　　Englishmen

　　had

　　been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning­bug (荧火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

　　The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan

　　became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.

　　Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug­shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is，“to install(安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversations. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”，

　　and since the 1940s it has been annoying.

　　We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as

　　“little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”

　　5．We learn from Paragraph 1 that

　　________.

　　A. Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug

　　B. George Washington was the first person to call an insect

　　a bug

　　C. the word bug was still popularly used in England in the

　　nineteenth century

　　D. both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in

　　the eighteenth century

　　6．What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?

　　A. Explanation. B. Finding.

　　C. Origin.

　　D. Fault.

　　7．The passage is mainly concerned with

　　________.

　　A. the misunderstanding of the word bug

　　B. the development of the word bug

　　C. the public views of the word bug

　　D. the special characteristics of the word bug

　　[文章大意]'本文为说明文，题材为社会文化，主要介绍了bug这一单词词义的发展过程。

　　5．D。细节理解题。根据第一段可知在18世纪前美国人和英国人都使用bug这一单词，故选D项。

　　6．D。词义猜测题。根据下文“In 1878 he explained bugs...to overcome in developing a successful product”可推断flaw的意思可能是“缺陷，毛病，问题”，故选D。explanation解释；finding调查发现；origin起源，由来。

　　7．B。推理判断题。通读全文可知。
