阅读强化训练(十四)(建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解A warm smile, a quick hello, an offer of directions or perhaps maybe a place to stay. The kindness of strangers is one of my fondest experiences and memories from my travels.When arriving in Slovenia from Croatia just before dark, I made a line to my hotel on the map, thinking I could easily find it. After walking around in circles for what felt like hours, I approached(靠近) a bus driver and tried to explain where I was heading. After a few failed tries because of our different languages, he signaled to me to get on the bus and took me to my hotel free of charge.Once again, I got lost in Turkey. After almost running my rental car empty, luck would have it that I found a gas station and another kind person. The young cashier did not speak a word of English, but pulled his phone out and opened a translation app(应用软件). We managed to have a whole conversation of broken English/Turkish. I even wrote “tesekkr ederim” (thank you) and if his kindness hadnt already melted(软化) my heart, his smile certainly did!And finally, my favorite act of kindness: My husband and I had just boarded a bus heading from Nice to Menton in France. A lady sitting across from us noted our accents and upon finding out that we had traveled all the way from New Zealand, stood up and offered us her window seat. We kindly refused. But she insisted, “There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the ocean on the French Riviera.” Not only did her kindness take me by surprise, we got to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.Strangers owe(欠) you nothing. Their acts of kindness show you that the world is an amazing place. So, enjoy the kindness of strangers and the unexpected human connections they bring.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在国外旅行时遇到过很多陌生的好心人，让她感觉到了世间的美好。1Why did the author ask the driver for help?ATo get a free ride.BTo borrow some money.CTo help her find a place to live.DTo find out how to get to her hotel.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的I made a line to my hotel on the map, thinking I could easily find it.和I approached(靠近) a bus driver and tried to explain where I was heading.可知，作者向司机打听如何去她将要入住的宾馆。2Which can best describe the conversation between the author and the cashier?APainful.BBoring.CPleasant.DSerious.C解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的another kind person和his smile certainly did可以推测，作者与那位出纳员的谈话很愉快。3Why did the lady offer her seat to the author and her husband?AShe noticed they felt unwell.BShe found they were too tired.CShe would get off to watch the sunset.DShe wanted them to enjoy the window view.D解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the ocean on the French Riviera.可知，这位女士将窗边的座位让出来是为了让作者和她丈夫能够欣赏到那里的日落美景。4What can we learn about the author?AShe enjoys helping strangers.BShe has toured some foreign places.CShe speaks many foreign languages.DShe likes making friends with strangers.B解析：推理判断题。根据文中的arriving in Slovenia from Croatia和I got lost in Turkey以及heading from Nice to Menton in France可知，作者去过一些国外的地方旅行。 完形填空I am the kind of person who goes out of the way to avoid hurting turtles that are crossing the road. _1_ that, I will stop to move them out of the _2_ and save them if they are injured.
