分析 文章主要講述的是友情的珍貴.作者乘出租去賓館,司機(jī)跟作者講述了他和老朋友的故事.司機(jī)和Old Ed是從小一起長大的好朋友,由于司機(jī)后來搬了家,他和Old Ed的聯(lián)系就變得很少了.就在幾周前,Old Ed去世了,這讓司機(jī)很難過,他舍不得他的老朋友.

解答 46-50BABCB
46  B   細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第一 段,"I'm sorry,but I was reading a letter."可知司機(jī)正在讀一封信,而沒有注意到作者,故選B.
47   A   猜測詞義題.  根據(jù)文章第一 段we used to call each other‘Old Friend'-when we'd meet.I'm not much good at writing."可知司機(jī)經(jīng)常和他的朋友打電話,通信,故選A.
48    B   細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二 段There are not too many people who've had such a long friendship 可知可知作者理解司機(jī)的感受,保持這么長的友誼的人不多,故選B.作者知道所發(fā)生的事,司機(jī)搬家,并且非常在乎他的朋友,故ACD是錯誤的.
49    C   推斷題.  根據(jù)文章第二 段."A couple of weeks ago.""I'm sorry"可知作者說了抱歉,說明幾周前司機(jī)的朋友去世了.故選C.
50     B  細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二 段things come up and we just don't seem to find the time."可知我們看起來好像沒有時間去和朋友們聯(lián)系,因此作者在到達(dá)酒店后給朋友寫信并寄出去了,故選B.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

5.I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to"make something"of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time,I walked back home.
"How many did you sell,my boy?"my mother asked.
"None."
"Where did you go?"
"The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
"What did you do?"
"Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
"You just stood there?"
"Didn't sell a single one."

One day,I told my mother I'd changed my mind.I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.
"If you think you can change your mind like this,"she replied,"you'll become a good-for-nothing."She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought  this battle  almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

48.Why did the boy start his job young?C

C.His mother had high hopes for him.
