Question

1．My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days．The employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants．
On the first day，an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day．He explained，"Sir，I had been told about this，but because of my larger size，it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford．"
Last night，Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because he couldn't afford the clothes．I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed．
When training started this morning，the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman．"You have 10minutes to be in proper clothes，"he was told．At this point，Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10minutes to get him the clothes．He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt； he returned with both and gave them to the older man．
The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger．Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt（收据） and couldn't return them-a little white lie．The pants were a perfect fit，the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job．
"My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night，but we didn't have enough to buy the clothes，"he told Robert．"It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!"
More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this．

24．If the older man did not have the proper clothes，he wouldC．
A．be punished

B．He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself．

Answer 1

分析 作者在文章中讲述了自己拿出自己的积蓄为一个陌生人购买一身合适的工作装的故事．

解答 24．C 细节理解题．根据第二段的Onthe first day，an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothesand he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn't have the rightclothes the next day．可知第一天，他班上的一位老先生没有穿合适的衣服，他严格地告诉他，如果第二天他没有穿合适的衣服，他就会被解雇．所以如果穿的衣服不合适，就会被解雇，也就是失去工作．故选C．
25．C 细节理解题．根据第三段的Ihad some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case itwas needed．我手头有一些现金，罗伯特今天早上带着它，以防万一．可知作者手头有现金，所以钱是作者的．故选C．
26．B 细节理解题．根据第五段的Roberttold him he had to because he had lost the receipt（收据） and couldn't return them-a little whitelie．可知Robert撒了一个善意的谎言，才让老人接受了衣服．故选B．
27．D 主旨大意题．通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者为一个陌生人购买合身的衣服的故事，全文都围绕合身的衣服为基点展开．所以给陌生人的合适的衣服是最好的标题．故选D．

点评 本文是人物故事类阅读，主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题．在做细节理解题时，首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语．认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
