Meeting your ancestors
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2014·聊城高三模拟)When was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you？Not someone you knew，but a total stranger？It's happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago，I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself，completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasn't his company that disappointed me.I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have collapsed in tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check，the waitress said，“Your meal was already paid for.〞 My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened.Then I remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye.He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a glass of wine，stayed for maybe ten minutes，and then left.The waitress said，“Yes，the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you.〞Just last year，I was running a halfmarathon.With just 0.1 miles to go，I was out of gas.Runners call it “hitting the wall〞；I thought I couldn't move another muscle.Out of nowhere，a teenager jogged up next to me and said，“What's your name，sweetie？Jennifer？Okay，Jennifer，let's go！Come on！It's just around the corner！You can do it！〞 And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.He was running in place of someone else.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need.Do you have any experiences like those?

详解答案
课时训练(三十五)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】有完全陌生的人为你做过出乎意料的好事吗？你遇到过吗？请分享我的故事吧。

1．选A 主旨大意题。

文章第一段便是文章的主题，句中的 something unexpectedly nice for you 如此说明了作者想在下文中谈的内容，由此可知答案选A。

其他几个选项，都是文中的细节局部。

2．选D 细节理解题。

在第二段中作者谈到自己坐在那里痛苦的样子，第三句中提到了痛苦的原因是 I was recovering from a broken heart(刚刚失恋了)，由此可知D正确。

3．选C 观点态度题。

文中讲述的是陌生人的帮助，由此排除选项A、B；作者只谈了这位陌生人帮他们付了账单，并没有说如何捉弄他们，因此排除D项；帮不认识的人付账单，说明了这位陌生人的慷慨和热心，由此可知C正确。

4．选D 细节理解题。

根据第四段的 And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.可知，这位年轻人陪着作者跑了一段时间，直到作者加快了脚步，由此可知D项符合文章的意义。

5．选B 推理判断题。

依据文章前面的表示，可知作者对别人给予的帮助充满感激，认为帮助过他的两个人都是天使，所以选B。

Ⅱ.完形填空
【语篇解读】本文通过讲述小男孩儿捉住猴子的故事告诉我们，生活中我们有时要学会放手。

1．选B 许多年前，一男子来到印度的一个村庄捕捉猴子，这样他就可以将他们卖到动物园。

然而猴子非常聪明，他所设的每一种陷阱(trap)都失败了。

trap“(捕捉鸟、兽的)陷阱〞。

2．选B 一个小男孩儿看到他毫无成效的努力，大笑起来。

fruitless“无成效的，无结果的〞，符合语境。

3．选D 男子说：“如果你能帮我捉住(catch)一只猴子，我就给你2美元。

〞 catch “(用陷阱、圈套等)捕获，套住〞。

4．选A 根据第四段中的“but he couldn't__9__his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist was clenched〞可推知，此处应填neck，与opening对应。

5．选C 他把一些坚果放在窄口罐儿周围，又往罐子里面(inside)放了许多，然后他把罐子系在树上。

6．选C 小男孩儿告诉那个男子：“几个小时后，我们就会捉住一只猴子(monkey)。

〞7．选A 当他准备好了，他会叫(call)我们的。

8．选D 果然，很快一群猴子发现(discovered)了坚果和罐子。

9．选B 一只猴子把手塞入窄口罐儿，抓起一把坚果，但因为他的拳头握得紧，他的手不能从窄口罐儿拔(pull)出来。

第11空后面的“to pull the pot off his hand〞是线索提示。

10．选B 猴子惊慌失措(panicked)，开始发出很大的响声。

11．选A其他一些猴子试图把窄口罐儿从他的手上拉下来，但没成功(unsuccessfully)。

12．选B 小男孩儿和那个男子听到(heard)了猴子发出的喧闹声。

13．选D 当他们走近(approached)这些猴子时，除了手还在窄口罐儿里的那只猴子，其余的都跑开了。

14．选D 男子很吃惊(amazed)，就问男孩儿他让猴子落入陷阱的秘诀。

15．选 C 为什么(Why)猴子那么容易把手伸进罐子里，却很难(difficult)把手拿出来？
16．选B 参见上题解析。

17．选A 男孩儿笑了笑说：“猴子原本可以轻易地把手拿出来逃跑(escaped)的，但他不得不放弃罐子里的坚果，然而他却不愿意放手。

〞
18．选D 他们决不(never)愿意放手。

本句是“They are never willing to let go.〞的省略。

19．选D 只要放手，我们中的许多人马上就可以改善(improve)生活质量。

20．选C 文中的“resentment，anger，and jealousy〞是解释说明第20空的内容的，故此空应用feelings，表示“情感，感情〞。

Ⅲ.对话填空
1．may2.a3.into4.impatient5.disappointed
6．me7.because8.will understand9.Taking
10．saying。
