2019年高中英语 语篇提能5 新人教版必修4阅读理解AAll the passengers on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” my stop was quickly ing up. I had few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was picking up, or left it there.In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing？” The only thing to do was say “yes” to any of those selfimposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit fortably in my office for the whole day, I couldnt get rid of the huge sense of guilt and regret.My thoughts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overe a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness? Just as the doors opened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt terrible, but I didnt care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queens park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.1The gentleman kept staring at the author because _.A. he wanted to talk to the authorB. the author appeared too nervousC. the author was going to get offD. he might think the author dropped the bread答案与解析D细节理解题。由文章第一段第二句可知那个绅士以为作者掉了面包。故D项正确。2The underlined word “selfimposed” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.

Some of my friends ask me how I can stand living somewhere so noisy. Its true that theres always some kind of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.It was Saturday morning, so I decided to go to the park. The taxi is the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, others chatting with their friends, and others playing music. Its just like the traffiC s sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near the play area where kids play while their parents sit nearby. I can see and hear almost everything from there. Peoplewatching is one of my favorite things to do. However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that theres so much to see and hear in the park!Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see. With my eyes closed, I could pick out parts of two old mens conversation. One of them was telling the other about something his grandson said. I couldnt hear the rest, but it must have been hilarious because his frienD s laugh was so loud.When Im old, I hope that I too will have a friend who will sit in the park with me, and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do.语篇解读本文是记叙文。文章描述了作者对生命之声的喜欢及他在周六一天的生活。4Some of the authors friends think “the sounds of life” are very _.A. unpleasant B. uniqueC. magical D. interesting答案与解析A推理判断题。从第一段可知，作者和他的一些朋友对生活环境中的嘈杂声音持不同意见。对作者而言，这些声音是生命之声，而作者的朋友则无法忍受，故选A。5The author took the bus to the park because _.A. there was no other transport to go thereB. he wanted to see more about peoples lifeC. it was the most convenient wayD. his friend advised him to do so答案与解析B细节理解题。由第三段的“When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city”可知，作者乘坐公交车去公园是为了更好地观察人们的生活。6The author closed his eyes in order to _.A. have a good restB. hide himself from viewC. enjoy the sounds of lifeD. avoid talking with the two old men答案与解析C细节理解题。根据第五段的“That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and got distracted by what I see”可知，作者闭上眼睛是为了集中精力倾听生命之声。7The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 5 probably means “_”A. truly different B. quite popularC. rather strange D. extremely funny答案与解析D词义猜测题。根据本段的“because his frienD s laugh was so loud”可知，其中一位老人讲述有关他孙子的事，这使得另外一位老人哈哈大笑，由此可推知，那位老人的孙子的事情一定十分有趣。
