【題目】閱讀理解
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but helost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applyingfor a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strengthand decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it wasalready 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to beinterviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre(輪胎） of hiscar. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately wentup to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old manasked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no needto pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for aninterview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office foryour interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line ofapplications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on himafter the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have achange of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office withdisappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewerwas sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair backand forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heartsank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” hethought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chairand to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but Iwas pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforcebefore you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthyworker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deservedcoffee as he landed himself a new job.

【解析】Jimmy是一個(gè)機(jī)動(dòng)車(chē)修理工，但是他剛剛失去工作，在應(yīng)聘新工作的路上他幫助了一個(gè)老人修車(chē)，沒(méi)想到那個(gè)老人就是他應(yīng)聘的那家公司的經(jīng)理，Jimmy順利應(yīng)聘上了那個(gè)職位。
(1)A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章首句“Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a fewmonths ago”可知。文中l(wèi)ost his job被同義置換為was out of work，故選A。
(2)D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段話(huà)“hesaw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there wassomething wrong with the car”說(shuō)明老人的車(chē)拋錨了，具體什么問(wèn)題，文章未提到，故選D。
(3)D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。前文說(shuō)到在修完車(chē)后他回絕了老人修理費(fèi)；再根據(jù)老人所說(shuō)“It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist”，可知老人是因?yàn)楦屑ざ�主�?dòng)送他去面試場(chǎng)的，故選D。
(4)B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)老人的問(wèn)題“你確實(shí)需要面試嗎？”及Jimmy的所想“Withthe way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview”可知，以他當(dāng)時(shí)的狀態(tài)，他無(wú)法通過(guò)面試，故選B。
(5)C推理判斷題。Jimmy在應(yīng)聘途中無(wú)償?shù)貛椭�的老人正是他去面試公司的總�?jīng)理，而后他被提供了那份工作。從這個(gè)故事中我們不難認(rèn)識(shí)到：善有善報(bào)（Good is rewarded with good）。A項(xiàng)“有志者事竟成”；B項(xiàng)“患難見(jiàn)真情”；D項(xiàng)“三個(gè)臭皮匠頂個(gè)諸葛亮”，故選C。
