Dear Kind

题文

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before． College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confud; also I will tell you about my lessons. Class don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted. It ems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It ems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so plea overlook it if the are not a model kind. Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very rious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful. But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all the years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It ems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls. I suppo I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into ctions by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night. Obrve how precily I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.

答案

小题1:B小题2:B小题3:D小题4:C

解析

文章讲述了Jerusha是一个孤儿，她是在陌生人的帮助下才得以能够上大学，在刚进大学的不久，她写了这封信给帮助过她的陌生人，感激他们为她做的事情。小题1:细节题。从文章第二段   College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confud;可知大学太大了，她总是会感到困惑，迷路，所以可知她对学校并不熟悉，故选B小题2:细节题。从文章Why couldn't you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.可知，她不妨写信给Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line 这两个名字的人，所以她确定John Smith 肯定是个不正确的称呼，故选B小题3:细节题。从最后一段Our day is divided into ctions by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful.可知，这样的生活是充满活力的，故选D小题4:推断题。从文章So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett. Dear Daddy-Long-Legs.是一只宠物的名字，而这只宠物肯定是作者很喜欢的，故选C是为了拉近彼此的距离。点评：本文较难，作者的思想隐喻的内容较多。对于此类文章的作答，需要把握好作者实质要表达的感情色彩，理解作者的深层次的中心思想。将这一思想始终把握在答题的过程中，以此为出发点。结合问题中所给的信息同时利用排除法即可作答。
