【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。

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。
