about 50 miles from oklahoma city，where i was planning to stop and visit a friend.while i was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，i said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.i took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.i stopped and wondered what i should do.a car pulled up behind me.it was the couple i had spoken to at the gas station.they said they would take me to my friends.we chatted on the way into the city，and when i got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.i wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.soon afterward，i received a christmas present from them.their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.years later，i drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.in late afternoon i returned to my car and found that id left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.then i noticed that the friendly ford dealershipa shop selling carswas right next door.i walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“just how friendly is friendly ford？”i asked and explained my trouble.they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.they would accept no payment；so when i got home，i wrote them a note to say thanks.i received a letter back from one of the salesmen.no one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.“thank you”two powerful words.theyre easy to say and mean so much.36the author planned to stop at oklahoma city _.ato visit a friendbto see his parentscto pay at the cash

had it pulled back to the gas station.bthe couple sent him a business card.cthe couple offered to help him.dhe called his friend for help.39the battery of the authors car was dead because _.asomething went wrong with the lightsbthe meeting lasted a whole dayche forgot to turn off the lightsdhe drove too long a distance40by telling his own experiences，the author tries to show _.ahow to write a thankyou letterbhow to deal with car problemscthe kindheartedness of older peopledthe importance of expressing thanks36a细节推断题。根据第一段第二句“. at a gas station about 50 miles from oklahoma city，where i was planning to stop and visit a friend.”where引导的定语从句是修饰oklahoma city，去oklahoma city是为了拜访一个朋友。37b词义猜测题。根据上一句“. paying for gas”和后面的“. gone only a few miles”可知took off是“离开”的意思，选项b中的move off也是“离开”的意思。turn off关掉；put up拿起；set up设立。38c细节推断题。从第二段最后两句“they said they would take me to my friends.”和“. when i got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了朋友家。39c细节推断题。从第四段第二句中的“id left the lights on all day.”可知作者忘记关掉车灯，灯亮了一天，所以电池没电了。40d主旨大意题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的帮助并向帮助自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的帮助后写信表示感谢对帮助自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到帮助别人是有意义的。特别是最后一句“they are easy to say and mean so much.”点出了主旨。阅读理解练习【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 whatever one believes about global warming，there is no doubt that the earths polar regions are undergoing dramatic change as a result of climate change.now，a breathtaking new exhibit at the asia society in new york suggests that the earths third pole is sounding a similar alarm.david breashears，a mountaineer and cinematographer，and his team have travelled the high himalayas on a special search in the past few years.armed with old photographs of the worlds highest peaks，he has tried to duplicate those shots exactly.the result is both breathtaking and deeply frustrating.that is because his photos show a dramatic decline in glacial ice.whether it is the forward edge，the vertical height or the mass balance of these rivers of ice，the pictures make it clear that something strange is happening.after some discussions about the likely causes of the glacier declinethe experts agreed it was linked to climate change，aggravated(恶化) by mankinds use of fossil fuelsthe talk turned to the heart of the matter：likely impacts.the biggest one concerns water.many glaciers，ranging from the andes to the alps，are in recession(衰退)，but the impacts of the himalayan glaciers recession could be much more disastrous.what to do？answers can be found in both supply and demand，suggested the experts.on the supply side，governments of the regionalways suspicious of each other，and at times hostilemust work together much more closely in measurement and data check.advances in satellite technology can help on this front.
