Question

【题目】 I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.

I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.

Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.

We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.

【1】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I remember it clearly.”可知，这件事我记得很清楚，由此可知，这件事给作者留下了深刻的印象，故C项正确。

【2】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words.”可知，当我敲门时，迎接我的是一张愤怒的脸和几句尖刻的话，再根据第三段中的“I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.”可知，我得知我朋友的妻子刚刚去世，由此可知，作者的朋友对他说尖刻的话是因为他正承受着失去妻子的痛苦，故B项正确。

【3】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.”可知，我们都是由我们所处的环境、我们的观点和感受所决定的生物，所有这些事情都会导致你说的话和做的事是那些和你处境不同的人无法理解的，由此可知作者从这两件事中得出的结论是：一个人的行为受到很多因素的影响，故D项正确。

主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据倒数第二段“We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.”（我们都是由我们所处的环境、我们的观点和感受所决定的生物，所有这些事情都会导致你说的话和做的事是那些和你处境不同的人无法理解的）及根据最后一段中的“If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient”（如果你遇到某人的行为不合常理，多一些理解并保持耐心）可知，作者通过两次相似的经历明白了我们应该站在他人的角度，给予别人理解和帮助（设身处地为他人着想），故D项正确。
