    One cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand.
    Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.” The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(迟疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打开) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.
    When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.” Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.
    Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.
    After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”
    She answered, “The false teeth”.
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, the old couple _____.
    A．enjoyed the scene outside the McDonald’s
    B．didn’t look suitable(合适的) for the environment
    C．loved being with young families and couples
    D．liked the food in McDonald’s
    小题2:The little old man cut the plain hamburger in half because _____.
    A．he couldn’t finish eating it with one bite
    B．he was very careful with his food
    C．he ordered more than he could eat
    D．he wanted to share it with his wife
    小题3:The young man who offered to buy the old couple food was _____.
    A．impoliteB．stubbornC．sympathetic(有同情心的)D．doubtful
    小题4:From the old lady’s answer, we know that _____.
    A．she was not interested in the food
    B．the couple suffered a terrible toothache
    C．the couple were using the same false teeth
    D．actually she didn’t answer the young man’s question

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:C

    试题分析：本文讲述了一对老夫妇在麦当劳吃饭，他们习惯于分享所有东西，就连他们的假牙也一起使用。
    小题1:细节题。前文讲到some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s 都是一些年轻人在吃，所以此处老人在这里看起来并不符合这样的环境，故选B
    小题2:细节推断题。从文章第二自然段和But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.可知，将汉堡包分词两半是为了给他的妻子一半，故选D
    小题3:细节题。前文讲到All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.所以的人都以为他们很穷，只能买一份，故这个男同志是非常有同情心的，故选C
    小题4:推断题。通过最后一段She answered, “The false teeth”.可知，他们两个老人共用一份假牙，故选C
    点评：文章风趣幽默，文章有不难，学生在答题中一定要认真细致的作答以求全对。对于此类记叙文的文章一定要将文章仔细的阅读完并理解，结合题目通过题目的关键词进行定位，分析好句子的意思，即可得出答案。

    One morning Mrs Smith was driving home after she had done shopping.

    Oprah Winfrey is not just a very successful TV personality(名人) in the US, she is also a woman who has encouraged millions. For those people, her life and her success are a good example.

    Few people ever took notice of Mr. Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr. Kim and Mr. Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science.
    On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr. Tan and Mr. Kim. They were in their laboratory analyzing the results of their latest experiments. Mr. Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment —the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr. Kim entered.
    “Hey Jimmy,” Mr. Kim called out, “do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?”
    There was no reply, so Mr. Kim looked through Mr. Tan’s things. He soon found Mr. Tan's notebook and was horrified to see that Mr. Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory.
    Mr. Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr. Kim had taken them and went to Mr. Kim's laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr. Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we know Mr. Kim was a quite    person.
    A．famousB．hardworking
    C．wealthyD．outgoing
    小题2:The underlined word "rivals" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to   .
    A．enemiesB．colleagues
    C．competitors D．friends
    小题3:What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the 4th paragraph?
    A．the most important discoveries
    B．the notebook and the dish
    C．the cupboard and the bacteria
    D．the dish and the bacteria
    小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Mr. Kim was afraid Mr. Tan might succeed ahead of him.
    B．Mr. Tan's bacteria grew very fast in a warm container.
    C．Mr. Tan worked much harder than Mr. Kim.
    D．Mr. Kim was so tired that he fell down into sleep.
    小题5:What happened to Mr. Kim in the end?
    A．He died on Christmas Eve.
    B．He was arrested by the police.
    C．He shared the success with Mr. Tan.
