16.On Christmas Eve,1944,my grandmother urged my uncle,then 12years old,to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned near 15miles east of Vienna to go to Deutsch-Wagram."People are charitable around Christmastime,"Grandma Lili said to her son,Gyuri."Ask for some food.Anything they can spare.Tell them that we're on the edge of starvation.Tell them that your 3-year-old sister can not get off the bed because she's outgrown her shoes."
In the dark of that night,Gyuri secretly left the camp and walked nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram,the closest town.He happened upon a house and knocked on the front door.A woman opened that door.She was probably alone,her man far away,fighting in the war,her children asleep in their beds.The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say.
"Come back tomorrow,"whispered the woman.The next day,my uncle returned.The woman opened the door with a smile.She piled his hands with bread,clothing,a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown and a pair of socks.The woman had knitted warm socks for my mother.After putting on the socks and shoes that fit,my mother got off the bed in delight.Her ragged shoes were passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp.They shared their unexpected harvest with the entire camp.It was a quiet celebration of human kindness around Christmastime.
In April 1945,my mother,uncle and grandmother were liberated.And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.
To the unknown giver,I thank you.In the desperation of a cold and snowy land,when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life,especially for Jews,you gave them hope and comfort.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了Gyuri的妹妹沒有合腳的鞋穿是他逃出集中營求助的原因之一,可能也是這位好心女人幫助Gyuri的原因之一,Gyuri的妹妹有了合腳的鞋后,小了的鞋就被送給了集中營里的一個比她小的孩子,而Gyuri的妹妹正是穿著這雙鞋迎來了自由,走向她的新生活.
解答 25.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"The 12-year-old pieced together in German exactly what his mother had told him to say"可知,Gyuri用德語準確說出了媽媽要他說的話,故選C.
26.B.推理判斷題.Gyuri的妹妹沒有合腳的鞋穿是他逃出集中營求助的原因之一,可能也是這位好心女人幫助Gyuri的原因之一,Gyuri的妹妹有了合腳的鞋后,小了的鞋就被送給了集中營里的一個比她小的孩子,而Gyuri的妹妹正是穿著這雙鞋迎來了自由,走向她的新生活,故作者多次提到鞋的原因是鞋有助于故事的發(fā)展和文章主題的升華;故選B.
27.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段To the unknown giver,I thank you.In the desperation of a cold and snowy land,when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life,especially for Jews,you gave them hope and comfort,作者的舅舅從集中營溜出來向人乞討東西,恰巧碰上了一位慷慨、好心的女人,她給了作者的舅舅很多東西.因此作者是對這位好心人充滿感激之情的,文章的字里行間均洋溢著這種感激之情.故選B.
28.A.主旨要義題.根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容尤其是最后一段總結(jié)的"In the desperation of a cold and snowy land,when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life,especially for Jews,you gave them hope and comfort"可知,在身處寒冷的被積雪覆蓋的土地上的絕望中,當很多人封閉了自己的內(nèi)心 并且死亡比活下去更容易的時候,尤其是對猶太人來說,這位好心人給他們帶來了希望和安慰.這篇文章謳歌了黑暗中人性光明的一面,故選A.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
