Question

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penage. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back..
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (擁抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】B
【小題3】B
【小題4】A
【小題5】D

解析試題分析：本文主要記敘了我第一次坐長途火車的經(jīng)歷。
【小題1】根據(jù)第二段，作者是第一次坐長途火車，帶了很多雜志看，可以看出作者一開始認(rèn)為坐火車是dull（乏味的），故選B。
【小題2】根據(jù)第一段，馬來西亞人很熱情，總會(huì)微笑著在站臺(tái)上對火車?yán)锏哪吧�人揮手，歡迎乘客來到馬來西亞。作者很感動(dòng)，故選B。
【小題3】本小題考查學(xué)生對陌生單詞意思的推斷能力，聯(lián)系上下文“I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.”作者開始并不享受火車之旅，所以買了一堆雜志（以排解長時(shí)間旅行時(shí)的枯燥），故選B。
【小題4】倒數(shù)第二段，Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.火車在Butterworth停下來，故選A。
【小題5】文章主要講述作者從看到馬來西亞人總會(huì)在站臺(tái)上笑對火車?yán)锏哪吧�人揮手后，心情由無聊、乏味變成高興�？梢钥闯觯�微笑能讓人提起精神。故選D。
考點(diǎn)：記敘文閱讀理解。
點(diǎn)評：本文有記敘，有抒情，讀起來比較輕松。做題前先泛讀全文，了解大意，再讀題目，根據(jù)題目進(jìn)行部分精讀，提取有用信息，然后選出正確答案。在閱讀時(shí)，要多積累各國的社會(huì)、歷史、地理、文化及風(fēng)俗方面的知識(shí)，這有利于提高閱讀水平。
