Question

【題目】 When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的) for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【4】A

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要介紹了作者在一次活動中贏得了50多張電影票，在邀請同事看了幾場電影后，他決定把剩余的電影票捐給他人。事情雖小，但是自己卻獲得了心靈的滿足。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中的“I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.（我過去常常喝可樂，它們瓶蓋內(nèi)有一個密碼可以參加比賽。只要你上網(wǎng)，把密碼輸進它的網(wǎng)站，你就有可能贏得獎勵。我贏得了很多免費的可樂。但是最令我驚訝和高興的是一次贏得的大獎。）”和第三段首句“The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. （大獎是一年的免費電影票。）”可知，作者是通過喝可口可樂贏得的電影票。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant.（他們說一年的免費電影票意味著我每周可以去看一部免費電影）”，再根據(jù)常識一年有大約52周，可知，作者得到了大約52張電影票。再由第四段中的“But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House,（但是我做的最好的事情是將當時剩余的20張票捐贈給了當?shù)氐膵D女過渡之家）”，由52-20=32可知，作者和朋友大概用掉了32張電影票。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。由第二段中的“But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.（但是最令我驚訝和高興的是一次贏得的大獎。）”可知，作者是很幸運的。由第五段中的“My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day.（我的工作團隊已經(jīng)決定去幫助有需要的人，因此我們?yōu)槟莻�新年收集了一些捐贈品）”可知，作者還是很關心別人的。A. Lucky and caring幸運的，關心別人的； B. Creative and careful富有創(chuàng)造力的，仔細地；C. Responsible and cheerful負責人的，歡樂的； D. Thankful and generous充滿感恩的，大方的。故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。由文章最后一段中的“I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy（我把票放在一個盒子里，在外邊寫了張紙條，讓婦女過度會的成員將票給在那里過春節(jié)的婦女，讓她們有有趣的事去做，不管是不是和孩子在一起，這真的讓我很開心）”可知，作者開心的真正原因是他能給別人付出一些東西，也讓別人開心。所以選項A（贈人玫瑰，手有余香）很符合作者的感受。故選A。

主旨大意題是篇章閱讀一個主要的考察方式，標題題（best title）是其一個典型的考點，也是高考閱讀中每年的必考題。主旨大意題解題技巧是不要被文章細節(jié)所干擾。一般有兩種方式解題：一是看首尾段，根據(jù)首尾段內(nèi)容總結(jié)主題思想；二是看每段段首句，根據(jù)所有段首句總結(jié)主題思想。本題中的第四題就是小標題題，由于這是一篇記敘文，我們要考慮事件的開始與結(jié)尾。文章開始是描寫自己得獎引出文章主題，文章最后描述自己將電影票分享給別人帶來的快樂。所以本文中心主要在最后一段點出：贈人玫瑰，手有余香。這樣就可以選出正確答案。
