解析

本文通过一个善良的宾馆服务员善意的对待一对老人，后来这对老人为他建设了一个宾馆让他管理的故事，告诉我们要善意对待别人，好人自有好报。小题1:D 推理题。作者讲述这个故事是想告诉我们人生无常，我们无法预料未来的情况，在日常生活中我们要做好自己该做的，好人有好报，机会总会到来。故D正确。小题2:B 推理题。根据文章倒数第二段The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”说明这个老人是一个非常富有的人，所以B项表述是错误的。小题3:C 推理题。根据本句The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,”可知因为城里有三个conventions所以房间都被住满了，说明这样的活动是有很多人参加的，选项中只有C项符合。小题4:D 推理题。作者通过这个故事告诉我们，要善意对待每一个人，好人自有好报。故D项内容正确。点评：本文通过一个善良的宾馆服务员善意的对待一对老人，后来这对老人为他建设了一个宾馆让他管理的故事，告诉我们要善意对待别人，好人自有好报。要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理，要根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案。
