It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for mylf, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over ven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and nless acts of beauty.” The phra impresd her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phra on a warehou wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phra so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phra down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money cretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itlf as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of tho drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone el later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act.

答案

小题1:B小题2:A小题3:D小题4:C小题5:B

解析

本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了一个名叫Natalie Smith受“经常做些好事和愚蠢的善意行为”这句话的影响，要做好事，所以为她身后的六辆车付钱。原来这句话是住在马林的Anne Herbert想出来的。她经常会做一些随意的好事，她认为善意的事情会和暴力行为一样自己会不断的壮大。小题1:B.考查推理判断。为什么Natalie Smith为她身后的六辆汽车付钱？根据It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and nless acts of beauty.” The phra impresd her so much that she copied it down.可知她受“经常做些好事和愚蠢的善意行为”这句话的影响，要做好事，所以为她身后的六辆车付钱。故选B。小题2:A.考查细节理解。Judy Foreman抄下这个短语是因为什么？根据she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,”可知Judy Foreman因为这个短语写得漂亮而抄下来。故选A。小题3:D.考查细节理解。根据短文，谁想出的这个短语？根据It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phra down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.可知正是Anne Herbert想出的这个短语，写在了一张纸上。故选D。小题4:C.考查词义猜测。下面那个表达与文中画线句子的意思更接近？根据The acts of random kindness spread.可知不经意的善良行为会不断传播，壮大。故选C。小题5:B.考查推理判断。从最后一段我们可以推断出什么？根据If you were one of tho drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone el later. 可知你得到别人善意的帮助，你以后也可能做一些善意的事帮助别人。故选B。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
