ToMr.Daddy-Long-LegsSmith
本文是一个受赞助上大学的女孩子给自己的赞助者写的一封信。
告诉对方自己刚到学校,但对学校还不熟悉。
写信人的主旨是想表达自己对赞助人的感谢,但由于根本不知道对方到底是个什么样的人,在信里作者做了几个猜测,最后决定称呼对方Daddy-Long-LegsSmith,以此拉近彼此的距离。
并表达了自己对现在有规律的生活感觉很好。
36.Jerushafelt“confused”because__________.
A.shehadneverwrittentothetrusteebefore
B.shewasnotfamiliarwiththecollegeyet
C.shecouldneverfindthewaytoherhome
D.shehadnevertraveledonatrainbefore
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。
作者在第二段第二句说到等她lessconfused的时候,就会写一个详细的description,结合上一句的主题,这里的description是指对大学的描述。
问中还提到作者一出门就迷路,可见,是因为初到学校,对学校不熟悉,使作者感到confused,因此本题选B。
37.Jerushathoughtthatshecouldn’tbeveryrespectfulto“JohnSmith”because__________.
A.hewasatotalstrangertoherB.shewassureitwasafalseidentity
C.thenamewastoocommonD.nobodywouldliketobecalledthattime
第五段第二句中的pickout表明Jerushar认为JohnSmith这个名字是收信人自己随便挑的,也就是说,她认为这个名字是假的,因此本题应选B。
第五段中,关键词是pickout。
38.AccordingtoJerusha,beingrichmaybe__________.
A.tentativeB.unimaginableC.traditionalD.rude
【答案】A
A.实验性的,暂停的,踌躇的;
B.不可思议的,难以想象的;
C.传统的,惯例的;
D.粗鲁的,狂暴的。
Jerusha讲了即使在华尔街的很多聪明人都会遇到破产(getbroke),所以在她看来,富有不一定会是一辈子的事情,可能会遇到变故而变得不富有,因此本题选A。
其它三个选项都不是Jerusha的想法。
39.Thefactthatherdayis“dividedintosectionsbybells”makesJerushafeel__________.
A.busyB.restrictedbyrulesC.pressedfortimeD.fullofenergy
【答案】D
倒数第二段中的“It'
sverylifeful.”表明Jerusha认为听着铃声来安排生活使她觉得“充满活力”,由此可见,本题选D。
40.JerushadecidedtocallthetrusteeDearDaddy-Long-legs__________.
A.inordertoshowherrespectforhim
B.becauseitwasoneofhisinnerquality
C.inordertomakethemfeelclosertoeachother
D.becauseshehadalwayswantedafather
【答案】C
倒数第三段中的“It’sjustaprivatepetname”表明Jerusha认为DearDaddy-Long-legs这个名字表示一种“爱”,“爱称”只有关系亲密的人之间使用,由此可见,Jerusha使用这个称呼是为了拉近距离,因此,本题选C。
