Question

【題目】 Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter; she still didn’t like us.

As new teachers in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.

I wouldn’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school. We had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.

Well after 16 months in the school we had a secret friend gifting. To my surprise, I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret friend. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret friend was.

I decided to gift her a coloured bangle（手鐲）. I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose Marie.

Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you gave your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said “My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.

Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.

細節(jié)理解題。由第三段“I wouldn’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school. We had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.”可知，Cala 的朋友被學(xué)校解雇了，我們頂替了她朋友的位置，因此Cala 不想與我們有瓜葛。所以 Cala 不喜歡西方老師的原因是因為我們頂替了她朋友的職位。故選A項。

推理判斷題。由文章第五段“I decided to gift her a coloured bangle（手鐲）. I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose Marie.”以及第六段“She taught music in the school so I said “My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.”可知，我通過“給秘密朋友送禮物”的活動與 Cala 拉近距離，為她精心挑選禮物并在送禮物的時候給予她真誠的贊美，進而收獲了友誼�？梢钥闯鑫液苌朴诶�用時機，而且對待朋友是很真誠的。由此可知，作者通過自己的真誠和智慧改變了Cala的態(tài)度。故選D項。

I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.”可知，Cala 在收到我的禮物后很開心，她接受了我的禮物，并給了我一個大大的擁抱和吻。在那之后，她經(jīng)常對我微笑，我們見面的時候她會和我很友好地擁抱握手。我還見過她戴著我送給她的禮物。我很開心。由 smile 以及 pleased 這樣一些字眼可以判斷整個故事的結(jié)局是很美好的。故選B項。

主旨大意題。文章講述了我用真誠和友好成功地扭轉(zhuǎn)了 Cala 對我的印象，收獲一枚真心朋友的美好故事。我通過“給秘密朋友送禮物”的活動向 Cala 伸出了橄欖枝，給她送禮物并真心贊美她，最終我用自己的真誠和智慧贏得了友誼，我的善行獲得了回報。C項是說做好事會獲得回報。故選C項。

推理判斷題是考查學(xué)生透過文章表面的文字信息進行分析、綜合、歸納等邏輯推理的能力。推理和判斷必須以事實為依據(jù)，切莫主觀臆斷。那些文章中直接陳述的內(nèi)容不能選，要選擇根據(jù)文章推理出來的選項；推理不是憑空猜測，而是立足已知推斷未知，作出正確答案時一定要在文中找到依據(jù)或理由；要忠實于原文，以文章提供的事實和線索為依據(jù)。不能以自己的觀點代替作者的想法，不要脫離原文主觀臆斷。本文第3小題需要綜合分析上下文信息來判斷故事的結(jié)局，由 smile 以及 pleased 這樣一些字眼可以判斷整個故事的結(jié)局是很美好的。故選B項。
