【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己参加志愿活动的经历，告诉人们：

一次小善举也可能改变一个人的一生。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“WhenIwas12yearsold,Ialreadyknewthatmyteenyearsweregoingtobetheworstyearsofmylife.”可知，十二岁时，“我”就意识到青少年时期是“我”一生中最糟糕的阶段；以及“Iwasatotaloutsider,bulliedatschool”，“我”觉得自己是局外人，说明此时的生活是不如意的。

故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“ButbystartingtodovolunteerworkwhenIwas14,Iturnedmyproblemintoapassionforhelpingothers.Theopportunitytopracticekindnessinthefaceofsomuchangermademefeellikemylifehadagreaterpurpose.”可知，但是在我14岁的时候开始做志愿者工作，我把我的问题变成了帮助别人的热情。

面对如此多的愤怒，我有机会实践仁慈，这让我觉得我的生活有一个更大的目标。

因此推断参加志愿活动给“我”提供了表达善意的机会，让“我”感觉到生活有更大的意义。

故选B。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“Thekindnesstheyofferedmewiththeirbookssavedmylife.OneofmybiggestdreamswastobecomeanauthorsoIcouldwritebooksthatwouldhelpotherteenagersthewaythosebookshelpedme.”可知，书中作者的善意拯救了“我”的生活，“我”最大的梦想就是成为一名作家，可以写书去帮助其他的青少年，把善意传递给他们。

故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Evensmallactsofkindnesscanchangesomeone'slife.Youneverknowwhatsomeoneelseisgoingthrough.Butbypracticingdailykindness,youbecomeanarchitectofpositivechange.”可知，作者在提醒我们注意善意的力量，一次小善举也可能改变一个人的一生，平时以善意待人，会让人们成为积极改变的缔造者。

故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

【答案】

（1）D

（2）A

（3）D

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者最近一次去加拿大的纽芬兰旅行时，被当地人的热情好客深深触动。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第十段中的“Iexplainedthattherewerenocarsavailableduringourweekontheisland,sowehadtorelyoncabsinstead.”我解释道，我们周末来岛上度假没有汽车，我们只能打出租车，可知，作者一家人在纽芬兰岛上旅行时遇到的问题是，他们没有一辆车。

故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。

根据第十二段中的“myhusbandandIjustsmiledindisbelief”我丈夫和我只是不相信地笑着，可知，当Alma提出让作者一家开自己的车去旅行的时候，作者和丈夫很惊诧。

并且此处单词与第十六段中的“stunned”呼应。

故选A。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据倒数第二段中的“Instead,itwastheactofkindnessfromacompletestrangerthatmadeusrealizehowspecialNewfoundlandreallywas.”取而代之，是一个陌生人的善意之举让我意识到纽芬兰的真正特别之处。

可知，给作者留下最深刻印象的是来自一位热心的陌生人的帮助。

故选D。

（4）考查推理判断。

纵观全文可知，陌生人的善良和热情好客给作者留下了最深刻印象，且根据最后一段“Nextyear,there'snodoubtwherewe'llbetakingoursummervacation.Whoknowswhatactofkindnesswe'llmeetthen?

”毫无疑问我们明年会去哪里过暑假。

谁知道到时候我们又会遇到什么样的善意之举呢？

可知，作者将还会去纽芬兰岛旅行，期待那里人们的热情。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
