五、阅读理解
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.
One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,“Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It’s the least I could do.Please,I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?”Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?”he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and 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 I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
1Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A.He was out of work.
B.He was bored with his job.
C.He wanted a higher position.
D.He hoped to find a better boss.
解析:根据文章第一段第一句“...but he lost his job a few months ago.”可知,他丢了工作,因此才会去申请新的工作。

故A项正确。

答案:A
2What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A.A friend’s car had a flat tyre.
B.A wild man was pushing a car.
C.A terrible car accident happened.
D.An old man’s car broke down.
解析:根据文章第二段第四句“Obviously there was something wrong with the car.”可知,这位老人的汽车出了故障,故D项正确。

答案:D
3Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A.He was also to be interviewed.
B.He needed a travelling companion.
C.He always helped people in need.
D.He was thankful to Jimmy.
解析:根据文章第二段最后一句中的“It’s the least I could do.Please,I insist.”可知,这位老人对吉米的热情帮助深表感激,在得知他要去面试后,主动提出开车送他去面试地点,以表达他的感激之情。

故D项正确。

答案:D
4How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?
A.He was sorry for the other applicants.
B.There was no hope for him to get the job.
C.He regretted helping the old man.
D.The interviewer was very rude.
解析:根据文章第三段中的“Jimmy’s heart sank.”可知,在听到面试官的问题后,吉米的心沉了一下。

以及本段中的“...how could I pass this interview?”可以得知,他当时感觉自己没有希望得到这份工作。

故B项正确。

答案:B
5What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?
A.Where there’s a will,there’s a way.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Good is rewarded with good.
D.Two heads are better than one.
解析:根据文章所述内容,吉米心地善良,路遇老人有难,热情相助,却意外发现这位老人竟是面试的这家公司的总经理。

由此得到这份工作。

真正体现了好人有好报。

故C项“Good is rewarded with good.”正确。

而A项“有志者事竟成。

”;B项“患难见真知。

”;D项“两人智慧胜一人。

”皆与原文主旨不符。

答案:C
