One cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand.

Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.” The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(遲疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打開) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.

When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.” Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.

Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.

After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”

She answered, “The false teeth”.

【解析】

試題分析:本文講述了一對老夫婦在麥當(dāng)勞吃飯,他們習(xí)慣于分享所有東西,就連他們的假牙也一起使用。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題。前文講到some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s 都是一些年輕人在吃,所以此處老人在這里看起來并不符合這樣的環(huán)境,故選B

2.細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。從文章第二自然段和But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.可知,將漢堡包分詞兩半是為了給他的妻子一半,故選D

3.細(xì)節(jié)題。前文講到All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.所以的人都以為他們很窮,只能買一份,故這個男同志是非常有同情心的,故選C

4.推斷題。通過最后一段She answered, “The false teeth”.可知,他們兩個老人共用一份假牙,故選C

考點(diǎn):故事類記敘文

點(diǎn)評:文章風(fēng)趣幽默,文章有不難,學(xué)生在答題中一定要認(rèn)真細(xì)致的作答以求全對。對于此類記敘文的文章一定要將文章仔細(xì)的閱讀完并理解,結(jié)合題目通過題目的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行定位,分析好句子的意思,即可得出答案。
