Question

12．I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago．One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar-ket．I loved that market．The selection of produce was exceptional!
    I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone．An hour into my shopping，I reached in my purse for my phone．I dug around searching and searching…no phone!
    I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper（拉链） was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands．
    I went around to all the venders （摊主） I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone．
But no such luck．
    Disappointed，I walked out of the market with all my fresh organic produce．In front of me was an older lady walking slowly with a heavy bag in each hand．I observed many people passing her．At first I thought of doing the same，as I was worried about my phone．But then I heard a voice in my heart say-ing"help her"．
        In Spanish，I asked the old lady if I could give her a hand．She gladly handed me a bag and we walked on．She was probably in her late 70s and the bag I took from her was full of produce．She asked about my family and my job．My Sparush was far from perfect．I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood．
    As we came to a street comer，we had to walk in opposite directions．My mind wondered for a mo-ment and then I decided to go on helping the lady．I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face，
which also warmed my own heart．
    After a few more blocks we came to her destination．I couldn't imagine her walking so far with two heavy bags all alone!
     I walked all the way back to my car at Firestone．I unlocked my door and sitting between the seats right in view was my iPhone!

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了他的一次购物经历，他认为这个农贸市场的产品的质量很好，但是在购物一个小时之后他发现因为他的粗心而使自己的手机丢了，在离开市场时作者帮助一个拎了很多东西的老妇人，作者做的好事不仅温暖了老妇人也温暖了他自己的心．

解答 21．D  推理判断题，根据第一段One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar-ket．I loved that market．The selection of produce was exceptional!可知作者更喜欢当地的农贸市场是因为那的产品质量良好，故选D．
22．A  细节理解题，根据第二段An hour into my shopping，I reached in my purse for my phone．I dug around searching and searching…no phone!可知 作者是在购物一个小时之后发现她的手机不见了，故选A．
23．C  细节理解题，根据第六段My Sparush was far from perfect．I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood．可知作者没能与老妇人顺利沟通是因为他的西班牙语很差，故选C．
24．B  细节理解题，根据第三段I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper（拉链） was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands．可知作者的拉链没有拉上，他是一个很粗心的人，根据第五段But then I heard a voice in my heart say-ing"help her"．可知作者心理想要去帮助这个老妇人，他是善良的，故选B．
