    1．I was in Houston a few weeks ago，and needed to be back home in Austin by midmorning the next day．Though I usually left in the evening，for some reason last time I had to choose to set off after midnight．
    I was on my way back to Austin when I realized I left an important file，and knew I had to return to get it．I took the first exit I could，but when I rounded the corner，an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane．I swerved（急转弯） to avoid it，and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car．So I pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3：15am．I've lived in urban areas most of my life．I'm fairly street-wise and don't become frightened easily，but I knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood．
    There was no one in Houston to pick me up．I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck．Soon a young man knocked on my driver's side window and asked if he could help me．Judging from his appearance，he was far from a mad man，but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me．So I lied to him．After a while，he asked again，but this time I politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute．He finally said，"Madam，you need help．A tow truck in Houston will arrive anywhere between 45minutes and approximately never （which I knew was true），and you aren't going anywhere until you change your flat tire．"
    After considering thoroughly，I got out．He looked surprised，but got right to work．He changed the tire，returned the seat to its place and said，"Thank you for letting me help you．You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me．Would it be okay if I gave you a hug？"When I recovered，I gave him a giant hug．I left with a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature．

    4．What's the matter with the author's car？D
    A．It couldn't get started．
    B．Its oil ran out．
    C．It was out of control．
    D．Its tire blew out．
    5．Why did the author lie to the man and refuse his help in the beginning？B
    A．Because she thought the man was playing jokes．
    B．Because she thought the man might be a bad man．
    C．Because she thought the man wanted to get a lift．
    D．Because she thought the man was a mad man．
    6．Which of the following can best describe the author？C
    A．Stubborn but brave．
    B．Impolite and dishonest．
    C．Cautious and brave．
    D．Generous but dishonest．
    7．Which of the following might be the best title for the text？B
    A．Attitude Determines Everything              
    B．Help in the Dead of Night
    C．The Fight against Robbing on My Way        
    D．An Unexpected Traffic Accident．

    分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，主要向我们介绍了作者半夜开车的时候躲避一辆车而突然急转弯，以至于她的车爆胎，在等待救援的过程中一个男人主动提供帮助，作者一开始并不相信他，后来决定选择相信这个男人，因此得到了帮助．

    解答 4．D    细节理解题，根据第三段and you aren't going anywhere until you change your flat tire可知在轮胎被修好之前不能去任何地方，可知作者的轮胎坏了，故选D．
    5．B    细节理解题，根据第三段Judging from his appearance，he was far from a mad man，but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me．可知作者在开始的时候拒绝了他的帮助是因为她认为这个男人是来抢劫的，故选B．
    6．C    推理判断题，根据第三段I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck．作者回到车上并锁上车门可以看出她很谨慎，而第四段
    After considering thoroughly，I got out．在考虑好后作者走出了车门，选择相信这个男人说明她很勇敢，故选C．
    7．B    主旨大意题，通读全文可知本文主要讲述了在一个夜晚作者的车爆胎了但是遇见了一个男人向作者提供了帮助，故选B．

    点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    16．Life for Ron and Joanne Wickham used to be full of soccer games，birthday parties，school plays，and parent-teacher conferences．For most of the past 20 years，they spent their evenings reminding their children to do homework and helping them complete it．Now the evenings are empty except for TV，and the weekends seem to last forever．The children whose activities used to fill their time have moved away and have left empty spaces．The Wickham parents have what is usually called Empty-Nests Syndrome．
