Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband ,Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restoredour faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

試題分析: 本文屬于記敘文題材。在文中作者講述了她們一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情。作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包，正當(dāng)著急的時候，有人打電話給送了回來，原來是那家人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件，然后給送還了回來，通過這件事作者一家又找回了對人們的信任。
小題1:B 考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章首段Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house可知Rashid獨自一人到了悉尼后住在旅館中，同時到處去給家人找房子住，故答案選B。
小題2:C 考查細節(jié)理解。 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.可知陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的內(nèi)容得知他的電話號碼的，故答案選C。
小題3:D 考查猜測詞義。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.可知那家人把撿到的文件替作者的丈夫保存著，然后送還給他，由此判斷該詞意思是“歸還”，故答案選B。
小題4:C 考查文章標(biāo)題。文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱，但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等規(guī)整好送還給作者的丈夫，這些別人眼里的垃圾對作者的丈夫來說非常重要，由此判斷C選項內(nèi)容更能體現(xiàn)文章中心，故答案選C。

When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.
小題1:After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.
A．divorce her husbandB．be a wedding photographer
C．pay off all her debtD．go travelling abroad
小題2: What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?
A．She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.
B．She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.
C．She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.
D．She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.
小題3:The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.
A．her personal reasonsB．her photographing skills
C．free marketing for bloggingD．booming of travel industry
小題4: What did the author think of her two years' work?
A．Inspiring. B．Appealing. C．Interesting. D．Challenging.
