A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.

“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.

“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread（散布） a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo（彌補） the wrong.”

1.Why did the woman feel sorry?

A．She didn’t know the story.

B．She hurt her neighbor deeply.

C．She was hurt deeply.

D．She was told an untrue story.

2.The underlined word “discouraged” might mean          .

3.Which of the following statements is true?

D．The woman was given a lesson.

4.What the wise man said has nearly the same meaning as the Chinese phrase “_________”.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了一個女人向很多人散播了她鄰居的謠言使鄰居深受傷害，幾天之后，她發(fā)現(xiàn)這個謠言不是真的，所以她感到很抱歉想彌補她犯下的錯。但是，通過鄰居讓她做的事情，她知道了散播謠言很容易，一旦做了之后，就永遠不可能完全彌補錯誤了。

1.細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段大意：這個女人散播了很多關于鄰居的謠言，使鄰居受到很深的傷害，后來他知道了他散播的那個事情完全不是真的，所以他感到很抱歉。故選B

2.推斷題。A. surprised驚訝  B. excited 興奮  C. upset心煩   D. pleased高興根據(jù)第四段she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away.這個女人發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的羽毛都已經(jīng)被風吹走了，可推斷出，她的感受肯定是不好的。結(jié)合題目，可知upset符合文章。A,B,D選項都不符合。故選C

3.細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第一段The neighbor was deeply hurt.鄰居被深深的傷害了。故A錯誤。文章沒有提到這個明智的男人不夠和善。故B錯誤。根據(jù)第四段After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.尋找了幾個小時之后，她只找到了3支羽毛。故C錯誤。根據(jù)文章中鄰居讓這個女人的做的事情，她知道了散播謠言容易，一旦做了，想要彌補犯下的錯誤則很難。故選D

4.推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”這個明智的男人說散播謠言不需要花費太多，但是一旦做了，你永遠不可能完全彌補犯下的錯。這句話在漢語里有個成語是“覆水難收”。故選A

考點：人生百味類記敘文

點評：本片文章結(jié)構(gòu)不難，文章中有一定的生詞，首先花幾分鐘進行整體的閱讀，弄清楚時間，人物及情節(jié)。理解最后老人說話的意思是理解整個文章中心的關鍵點，對應這類題目要結(jié)合題目中的選項來幫忙理解全文，耐心作答。

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.

Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

A. a few years later                               

B. right after the first test 

C. a few weeks later                           

D. never
