Question

【題目】 Dwight Morrow was a famous banker and diplomat(外交官) of America in the 20th century.

Once, Morrow travelled in Rugby, England. During this period, he left the station nearby. While walking on and on, he got lost. So he asked a local boy of the way. The boy told him, “Turn right from here until a grocery store, and then turn left from there. Go straight on and you will find a place with a four-street intersection(十字路口)...” With that, the boy thought for a while and went on saying, “When you get there, you are not far from the station. Then you’d better ask someone else. But even if I tell you now, you may not remember.”

According to the boy’s guide, Morrow got to the four-street intersection pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station in no time.

【解析】

本文講述了20世紀(jì)美國(guó)著名的銀行家和外交官德懷特莫羅在英國(guó)拉格比旅行迷路時(shí)，向一個(gè)小男孩問(wèn)路的經(jīng)過(guò)。這是件小事，但對(duì)莫羅有很大的影響。他意識(shí)到每個(gè)人的能力是有限的，許多問(wèn)題不能在一天內(nèi)解決。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第三段“According to the boy’s guide, Morrow got to the four-street intersection pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station in no time. ”可知他在男孩和一個(gè)過(guò)路人的幫助下到達(dá)目的地。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第二段中“Go straight on and you will find a place with a four-street intersection(十字路口)...”后面是省略號(hào)，說(shuō)明還有很多要說(shuō)的，路線應(yīng)該比較復(fù)雜，男孩覺(jué)得他一時(shí)很難記住。故選B。

【3】主旨大意題，莫羅先是根據(jù)男孩的描述到一個(gè)地方，然后詢問(wèn)另一個(gè)人到達(dá)目的地，如果男孩一次告訴他，他可能不會(huì)記住，甚至記錯(cuò)，從而不能到目的地。這次經(jīng)歷對(duì)他的影響是做事情要循序漸進(jìn)。故選C。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題題，本篇通過(guò)莫羅問(wèn)路的經(jīng)過(guò)總結(jié)出做事情要循序漸進(jìn)，不能放棄，這樣就會(huì)成功，B. Never ever give up從不放棄。更能體現(xiàn)主題，故選B。
