Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to 1 a passenger at 2: 30 a.m. When I arrived to collect,I found the building was 2except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and 3   , "Just a minute," answered a weak, 4 voice.

  After a long 5 ，a small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

  I took the suitcase to the 6 ，and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked 7 toward the car.

  She kept thanking me for my 8 . " It's nothing”，I told her. " I just try to treat my pas?sengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

  "Oh,you're such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi,she gave me an  9， and then asked, " Could you drive through downtown?"

  "It's not the shortest 10   ，" I answered quickly.

  "Oh,I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice(收容所) .I don't have any family left.   The 11 says I don't have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器) .

For the next two hours, we 12 through the city. She showed me the building which she had 13 worked in，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone 14 as a girl.

  Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a(n) 15 building and would sit star?ing into the darkness, saying16

  At dawn, she suddenly said, "I，m 17 Let's go now.”

  We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

   "How much do I 18 you?" she asked.

  "Nothing. " I said.

  "You have to make a 19 ，" she answered. "Oh,there are other passengers," I an?swered.

  Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly. Our hug

ended with her 20 ， " You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

本文通過一個(gè)出租車司機(jī)的敘述，展現(xiàn)了一位暮年老人的心境，讓我們感嘆人生之短暫。尊老是我們的民族傳統(tǒng)，我國(guó)正步入老齡化。我們?cè)诟袆?dòng)的同時(shí)，應(yīng)進(jìn)一步發(fā)揚(yáng)尊老愛幼的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)。

1.D短語辨析。根據(jù)文章第一句話和后文When I arrived to collect可知，作者是去接客人。pick up此處為"駕車去接某人"。

2.D根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，獨(dú)居老人的房子應(yīng)該是黑暗的，從而襯托老人晚年的凄涼。第一段中...except for a single light in a ground floor window也有暗示。

3.B根據(jù)生活常識(shí)以及全文時(shí)這位出租車司機(jī)的描述，應(yīng)該是上前敲門。

4.A根據(jù)第三段信息…a small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side Was a small suitcase可知答案為A。

5.B根據(jù)前文信息判斷，老人年齡大了 ，行動(dòng)緩慢，不能及時(shí)應(yīng)門。

6.C根據(jù)出租車司機(jī)的職業(yè)特點(diǎn)判斷，他幫助老人把箱子拿到車上。后文也有暗示...then returned to help the woman和…toward the car.

7.C根據(jù)上下文信息判斷老人80多歲并且要不久于人世了，因此行動(dòng)緩慢。

8.C根據(jù)前一段信息可以看出這位司機(jī)很善良、友好。因此老人感謝他的善意。

9.A根據(jù)生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)可以打的要告訴司機(jī)自己所去的地方。文章后面有這樣一句話We drove in silence to the address she had given me也可以印證答案。

10.C老人告訴司機(jī)要穿越市區(qū)，司機(jī)認(rèn)為這不是最短的路線。route"路線,路程"。

11.B根據(jù)I don't have any family left可以排除C。根據(jù)常識(shí)和I don't have very long可以判斷這樣的結(jié)論只有醫(yī)生可以得出。

12.C根據(jù)前文中的Could you drive through downtown?可知答案。

13.C此處指她曾經(jīng)(once) 工作過的地方。

14.B根據(jù)前面a ballroom(舞廳) 可知答案為B。

15.B對(duì)于老人來說每一所房子或者建筑都是很特別的，具有特殊的含義。common"普通的"，側(cè)重常見；particular"特殊的，獨(dú)特的"; usual"平常的，普通的";normal"正常的，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的"，側(cè)重常態(tài)的。

16.D要充分體會(huì)老人的留戀之情，此時(shí)無聲勝有聲。同時(shí)后文中At dawn, she suddenly said...也可以幫助找到正確答案。

17.C根據(jù)老人的年齡、身體狀況和出來的時(shí)間at 2:30 a.m.及At dawn，可知老人累了。

18.B到達(dá)目的地后老人要支付車費(fèi)。A選項(xiàng)缺乏介詞for,pay for"支付";owe"欠一定數(shù)量的債"。C和D不符合語境。

19.B根據(jù)兩人的對(duì)話和文章的首句Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living可知。

20.B remark "評(píng)價(jià)，評(píng)論，講話";conclusion "結(jié)論";message " 口信";information "信息"。此處暗含老人的感慨和感激之情。

 I was brought up in a small town in the countryside. Growing up in the countryside offered lots of advantages for young people. The only problem was that we often got into trouble as we made up stories that we 1 out around town. I can remember a ridiculous 2 in particular.

Of course, we all got out of that truck as quickly as we could and 20 down the road.

  Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour，aircraft cross the world inside a day，while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹喊) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

  All this saves time，but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again,spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, ac?cording to some scientists;too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains，a con?sequence we do not like to think about.

  However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

  There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there;their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so，we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern ma?chinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

(   ) 1. The new products become more and more time-saving because .

     A. our love of speed seems never ending

    B. time is limited

    C. the prices are increasing high

    D. the manufacturers boast a lot

(   ) 2. What does "the days" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

     A. Imaginary life    B. Simple life in the past

    C. Times of inventions    D. Time for constant activity

(   ) 3. What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology?

A. Critical    B. Objective    C. Optimistic    D. Negative

(   ) 4. What does the passage mainly discuss?

     A. The present and past times

    B. Machinery and human beings

    C. Imaginations and inventions

    D. Modern technology and its influence
