河北省石家庄市2015高考英语 阅读、完形填空四月选练8阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。when was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you？not someone you knew，but a total stranger？its happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out. a few years ago，i was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself，completely oblivious to the fact that i was sitting there in misery.it wasnt his company that disappointed me.i was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.i could have collapsed in tears right there at the table.when we picked up the check，the waitress said，“your meal was already paid for.”my friend and i didnt have a clue how it happened.then i remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye.he was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a glass of wine，stayed for maybe ten minutes，and then left.the waitress said，“yes，the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you.”just last year，i was running a halfmarathon.with just 0.1 mile to go，i was out of breath. runners call it“hitting the wall”；i thought i couldnt move another muscle .out of nowhere，a teenager jogs up next to me and says，“whats your name，sweetie？jennifer？okay，jennifer，lets go！come on! its just around the corner！you can do it！”and he ran with me until i picked up my pace. i found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasnt even supposed to be in the race that day. he was running in place of someone else.i still shake my head when i think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. do you have any experiences like this? 1which of the following is the best title for the passage?athe kindness of strangersban unpleasant companionctwo special experiencesdhitting the wall答案：a推理推断题。文章第一段便是文章的主题，句中的something unexpectedly nice for you则说明了作者想在下文中谈的内容，由此可知答案选a项。其他几个选项，则是文中的细节部分。2why did the author say he was in misery?abecause he couldnt enjoy his meal.bbecause he fell into conflict with his companion.cbecause his companion talked a lot.dbecause he was then disappointed in love.答案：d细节理解题。作者谈到自己坐在那里痛苦的样子，后面提到了痛苦的原因是“i was recovering from a broken heart(刚刚失恋了).”，由此可知答案d项正确。3what do you think of the man paying for the meal?ahe showed his kindness for his former girlfriend.bhe is an acquaintance to the two persons.che is generous and warmhearted to others.dhe enjoys making fun of others by doing that.答案：c推理判断题。文中讲述的是陌生人的帮助，由此排除a、b两项；作者只谈了这位陌生人帮他们付了账单，并没有说陌生人如何捉弄他们，因此排除d项；帮助不认识的人付账单，说明了这位陌生人的慷慨和热心，由此可知c项正确。4how did the teenager help the author?ahe gave the author a glass of water.bhe gave the author orders firmly.che ran after the author.dhe ran with the author.答案：d推理判断题。根据第四段的“and he ran with me until i picked up my pace.”可知，这位年轻人陪着作者跑了一段时间，直到作者加快了脚步，由此可知d项符合文意。5what can we infer from the last paragraph?athe author still believes his experience today.bthe author feels grateful for the help he received. cthe author thinks everyone is an angel.dthe author often gets help expectedly.答案：b推理判断题。根据文章前面的叙述可知，作者对别人给予的帮助充满感激，认为帮助过他的两位都是天使级人物，所以选b项。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。below is from a book of facts.vital statisticsmotor vehicle accidents;
