Question

【題目】 It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great pleasure.

In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall awkward lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonging to Lincoln. Lincoln was a bit confused. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pocket knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pocket knife. He had been told to keep it until be able to find a man uglier than himself. Lincoln's eyes always shined brightly when he reached this part of the story. The story always brought smiles to the faces who heard it. The story itself was funny. But even more interesting was the fact that a man as great as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了林肯的一段趣聞?shì)W事。林肯講述自己在火車上的一段奇遇，一位陌生人交給林肯一把刀子，并告訴林肯，這是他多年前得到的這把小刀，他被告知要留著它，直到把刀轉(zhuǎn)交給比自己丑的男人。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“There is one particular story that he always told with great pleasure.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，此文是關(guān)于林肯自己的一段趣聞?shì)W事。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Lincoln was a bit confused.（林肯有點(diǎn)困惑。）”可知，當(dāng)陌生人想把小刀給他時(shí)，林肯感覺(jué)很困惑。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“But even more interesting was the fact that a man as great as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.（但更有趣的是，像林肯這樣偉大的人仍然可以嘲笑自己。）”可知，從故事我們知道林肯雖是偉人，但仍然可以嘲笑自己。故選C。

文章內(nèi)容較為簡(jiǎn)單，集中考查細(xì)節(jié)題，對(duì)此類題型，考生可以首先從問(wèn)題中找到關(guān)鍵詞然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細(xì)節(jié)找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀一遍，仔細(xì)比較所給選項(xiàng)與文中細(xì)節(jié)的細(xì)微區(qū)別。如小題2選擇項(xiàng)中的puzzled，到文章第二段“Lincoln was a bit confused.”找到關(guān)鍵詞confused。所以我們考生要通過(guò)比較這些細(xì)微區(qū)別，仔細(xì)辨別才能得出答案。
