Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well—she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.
"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been leaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing—watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now." (08上海卷)

【小题1】A
【小题2】A
【小题3】D
【小题4】C

解析讲述了Zoe Chambers这个曾经作为PR consultant的成功人士——生活得很好,有一份体面、重要的工作,拥有一套漂亮的公寓,过着繁忙、紧张的伦敦社会生活,突然有一天被炒了鱿鱼,从一度的苦闷、彷徨到最后在朋友农场里重新快乐生活的故事。
【小题1】细节推理题。她过去一直以为自己作为咨询师的时候,过得是一种“令人满意的、令人羡慕的”生活,而不是“费力的、无意义的、无聊的”,所以选择A项。
【小题2】细节推理题。她去了朋友农场的最重要原因就是因为她被炒了鱿鱼,失业了,才想到去农场,故答案是A项,其他三项不是她去农场的最重要原因。
【小题3】细节推理题。按照这篇文章的意思,她感觉农村生活是什么样的呢?A项是“劳累的、麻烦的”,B项是“浪漫的、和平的”,C项是“精神上疲惫的而又是健康的”,这三项都不是她的感受,她后来的感受是D项“体力上是劳累的但又是值得做的”,故D项就是答案。
【小题4】主旨大意题。概括本文的大意,那么可以得出答案:“有时候,一个不幸可能会带来好运和幸福”,即C项。而A项是“患难之友才是真正之友”,B项是“有志者事竟成”,D项是“一石二鸟”,都不是本文所要阐发的道理。
