5.A year ago August,Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife,Gerrie,was still working in the local school cafeteria,but work for Dave was scarce,and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-dollar﹩7,000,a legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch,who died in an accident."It really made a difference when we were going under financially."says Dave.
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity.In some cases,it was a few thousand dollars; in others,it was more than dollar﹩100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money,more than﹩3million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression,Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜歡) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store,checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years,the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it."Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything."says their friend Sandy Van Weelden,"They could see things they could do to make you happier,and they would do them."
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches'wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents-should enrich the whole community (社區(qū)) and last for next generations.
Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.

61.According to the text,the FussesB.
A.were employed by a truck company  
B.were in financial difficulty
C.worked in a school cafeteria  
D.lost their home
62.Which of the following is true of the Hatches?C
A.They had their children during the Great Depression.
B.They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C.They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D.They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
63.Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?B
A.They decided to open a store.
B.They wanted to save money.
C.They couldn't afford expensive things.
D.They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
64.According to Sandy Van Weelden,the Hatches wereA.
A.understanding   B.optimistic     C.cold-hearted   D.pessimistic
65.What can we learn from the text?D
A.The community of Alto was poor.
B.The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C.Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D.The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.

分析 Hatches夫婦在小時候經(jīng)歷過大蕭條時期,他們養(yǎng)了節(jié)儉的習慣,并且總是樂于施助,他們的這種善良遺產(chǎn)將會使整個社區(qū)富裕,使鄰居們互相幫助.

解答 61.答案是B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段最后一句Dave所說的話中的"when we were going under financially"當我們沒有錢時?可知選B.此處go under意為"失敗?破產(chǎn)".
62.答案是C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二、五、六段的第一句可以知道,他們向他的鄰居們分發(fā)財物,所以答案選C.
63.答案是B.細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第四段可知他們這樣做是因為他們已養(yǎng)成節(jié)儉的習慣,所以答案選C.
64.答案是A. 觀點態(tài)度題.根據(jù)Sandy Van Weelden所說的話可知?Hatches夫婦總是主動地去幫助他人.這說明Hatches夫婦是理解他人的,所以選A.
65.答案是D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中"It was the Hatches'wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents-should enrich the whole ommunity and last for generations to come."可知,答案是D.

點評 故事類文章在閱讀過程中,我們一直在某個線索的引導下,隨著作者的思路去了解一個故事或一件事情的始末,因此會感到比較輕松.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查學生對細節(jié)的辨認能力以及推理判斷能力. 閱讀故事類文章時,應注意把握主旨大意,弄清主要情節(jié),立足文章的內容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖,根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象,從而達到解題的目的.
