One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me.  "This boy has lost his family," he wrote.  "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”

       I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically

       The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon一in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

       "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

       "It’s your turn," he said.

       After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

       Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

36. When he first met the author, David         .

A. felt a little excited

B. walked energetically

C. looked a little nervous

D. showed up with his teacher

37. As a psychologist, the author         .

A. was ready to listen to David

38．David enjoyed being with the author because he________.

【解析】

36. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)關鍵詞David定位信息于第一段。根據(jù)信息He kept… walking up and down restlessly（不安地），可以判斷選項C為正確答案。nervous與原文中的restlessly為同義詞不同詞性的復現(xiàn)。

37. D．推理判斷題。從第二段末兩句，作者對于精神病的看法可以得知，作者對于精神病例的治療很有治療經驗，判斷作者對于治療David的病“很有把握”，D項為正確答案。

干擾項排除：A項“愿意傾聽David的訴說”為最大干擾項。貌似與原文第二段末句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（有時候能為患者做的最好的事情是以坦誠和同情心去傾聽）從邏輯上一致，但本句僅為作者對于精神病患者從籠統(tǒng)意義上的看法，該項錯在了推理過度。B項“對于精神病學持懷疑態(tài)度”，根據(jù)文章首段首句“作者是一個精神病醫(yī)生“可排除該項。C項“能夠描述David的病情，與第二段第二句There are problems…no words can describe相悖。

38. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)關鍵詞enjoyed being with the author定位信息于原文第三段第二句。詳讀整段文字，尋找原因（他的表現(xiàn)）。根據(jù)首句Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed（他通常都比約定時間早到），結合末句It seemed as if he enjoyed my company，可以推斷，作者通過David通常都早來的表現(xiàn)，得出David很喜歡和自己呆在一起�？催x項，D項“因為他在下棋時容忍了作者好多次”符合邏輯。

39. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段末句和第五段：Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. "It’s your turn," he said.知道，幾個月后的一天David開始看我并開始對我說話了。再根據(jù)第六段全段可知：從那天起，他開始說話，并且交了朋友、參加了社團等”，而且從此“開始了新生活（末句）”。而且根據(jù)He wrote to me a few times，得知，這些都是他結束治療寫信告訴我的，判斷：A項“幾個月的治療之后，他痊愈了。”為正確答案。

40．推理判斷題。立足全文：作者對David在治療過程中的描述中，David在治療的前幾個月，“didn't say a word”，“in complete silence and without looking at me”以及作者的思索“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering”可知作者對于David的治療主要采取的是無聲的陪伴。故D為正確答案：是“作者與他的無聲交流”使David改變了。同時D選項也符合末段第二句交代的文章主旨：But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. （有時候一個人可以不需要用言語也可以深入到另一個人的內心）。

【難句學習】

1．He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me.

【翻譯】他坐在那里，只是抬頭看著我身后的墻上的幾幅兒童畫。

【分析】本句的主句為He sat there，only looking…為現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。

2．It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

【翻譯】下棋不太容易作弊，但是我承認，我會確保讓David贏上一兩次。

【分析】本句為并列句結構，but引導表轉折意義的并列分句。第一個分句中，it為形式主語，to cheat in chess為不定式作真實主語。在第二個分句中，I admit之后為省略了that的賓語從句。

3．Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.

【翻譯】通常他都比約定的時間來得早，然后架子上拿出棋盤和棋子，在我有空坐下來之前開始擺棋子。

【分析】本句中，before引導了一個時間狀語從句。主句中，he為主語，arrived, took, began為并列謂語動詞。

4． But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

【翻譯】但是我同時也明白了：有時候一個人不需要用言語也可以走進到另一個人的內心深處。

【分析】本句的主體結構為But I also learned…，that之后為賓語從句，without any words為插入語。

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.

Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.

As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore（礦石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.

Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.

Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.

 

1.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that

A.Tabor became its leading citizen.

B.great deposits of lead is expected to be found there.

D.it was renamed

2.The underlined word “grubstake” in Paragraph 3 means

A.to supply miners with food and supplies

B.to open a general stores

C.to do one's contribution to the development of the mine

D.to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered

3.We can infer that Tabor’s life career is.

A.purely lucky

B.based on his managing theory of “grubstake’

C.through the help from his wife

D.because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Tabor’s Life.                        B．A legend of the Old West

C．Lead Makes Leadville’s Fortune        D．The Best Investment
