6．Ray's wedding had gone off smoothly．Everyone seemed to have had a good time．A few people had too good a time； they went home with designated （指派的） drivers．All evening，the gift table remained unguarded．Who would steal anything，Ray thought．He had never heard of such a thing happening at a wedding．But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything．He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities （慶祝） to check on the gift table，making sure no one suspicious was hanging around it．
Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding．When they got back，they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes．But there was one problem．A married couple that used to be good friends had apparently given nothing．This surprised Julia，because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited．And，they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding．Frankly，Ray didn't even care if they hadn't given a gift．He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note．Ray called Aaron．Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had．"Yes，but we got your envelope with the cash inside，"Ray said．
"Maybe my envelope looked too thin，and some thief thought Walt's envelope looked nice and fat．"
Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt's gift．Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind？Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless．
Ray didn't know what to do．If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn't given，they would be insulted．If he didn't send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given，they would get angry．
"What would you do？"Ray asked．Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem．
"You can't go wrong with simply being honest，"Aaron said．
"Oh，yes，you can，"Ray contradicted him．"Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie．"But he thought about it，and finally decided that Aaron was right．He called Walt and told him the problem．Walt said that yes，he had given an envelope．In fact，the envelope contained 500cash．"500？!"Ray asked．"That's a lot of cash，Walt!"Walt admitted that it was，but he had gotten a fat raise early that year and Ray's was the only wedding he'd been to in quite a while．Ray thanked him very much，and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walt's generous gift．Walt told him that it was"only money"．
When Ray told Aaron about Walt's gift，Aaron laughed．"The only thief at the wedding was Walt!I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating．And it was only a $10pot!I'm sure I told you about that．"
"Yes，you did tell me，"Ray said．But，of course，he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway．

67．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Nobody checked on the gift table all evening．
B．Walt had surely gotten a fat raise early that year．
C．Stealing had never happened at a wedding．
D．Aaron looked on honesty as the best policy．
68．The underlined word"insulted"in Paragraph 5probably meansB．
A．deeply impressed  B．badly hurt  C．much discouraged  D．greatly moved
69．What kind of person is Ray？A
A．Considerate and polite．   B．Faithful and experienced．
C．Outgoing and determined．  D．Friendly and optimistic．
70．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？C
A．A Wedding Party    B．The Theft at the Wedding
C．The Wedding Gift   D．A Secret at the Wedding．

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了Ray舉辦婚禮，在之后寫感謝信時，發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有收到好朋友Walt和Mary夫婦的禮物，Ray和他的好朋友Aaron進(jìn)行了探討和研究，最終查明真相：Walt將自己送的禮物又偷走了．

解答 67．D．推理理解題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中的"I stopped playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating．And it was only a $10 pot!"可知，因?yàn)閃alt作弊，Aaron不再和他一起玩牌了．由此可以推知，Aaron特別重視一個人的誠實(shí)．故選D．
68．B．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)文章第五段"If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn't given，they would be insulted"可知，如果Mary和Walt沒有給Ray送禮物，結(jié)果Ray卻給他們發(fā)感謝信的話，那么，Mary和Walt會感覺自己的人格受到了侮辱，他們的內(nèi)心會很受傷害．該劃線單詞應(yīng)是"侮辱，傷害"的意思，故選B．
69．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第五段"Ray didn't know what to do．If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn't given，they would be insulted．If he didn't send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given，they would get angry"可知，Ray考慮非常周全．他非常擔(dān)心傷害Walt和Mary的情感．由最后一段中的"But，of course，he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway"可知，Ray非常有禮貌．盡管知道了事情的真相，但是仍然給Walt發(fā)了感謝信．故選A．
70．C．主旨大意題．通讀全文，可知Ray舉辦婚禮，在之后寫感謝信時，發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有收到好朋友Walt和Mary夫婦的禮物．圍繞他們是否送了禮物這一點(diǎn)，Ray和他的好朋友Aaron進(jìn)行了探討和研究，最終查明真相：Walt將自己送的禮物又偷走了．盡管如此，Ray還是給Walt發(fā)了感謝信．文章圍繞Walt夫婦送的禮物展開．故選C．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)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(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

18．After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack，my world crashed around me．My six children were all under 10，and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living，and caring for the children．I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week，but from Friday nights to Monday mornings，the children and I were alone．
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German Shepherd（牧羊犬）on our doorstep．This dog seemed to intend to enter the house．The children liked"German"immediately and begged me to let him in．I agreed to let him sleep in the basement．That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks．
The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German's owner，but with no results．
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic．Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by，we drove off without him．When we stopped to get gas，we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us．No way was he going to be left behind．
Monday morning I let him out for a run．He didn't come back and we were all disappointed．We were convinced that we would never see him again．We were wrong．The next Friday evening，German was back on our doorstep．Again he stayed until Monday morning，when our housekeeper arrived．
This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10months．We grew more and more fond of German．We took comfort in his strong，warm presence，and we felt safe with him near us．As German became part of the family，he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed．
Each week，between German's visits，I grew a little stronger，a little braver and more able to handle； every weekend we were no longer alone and enjoyed his company．Then one Monday morning we patted him on the head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time．We never saw German again．

56．The dog first came to the family whenA．
A．it was needed most
B．the writer became strong enough
C．the writer was away on a business trip
D．the writer was busy on the weekday
57．The family planned to go on a picnic without the German Shepherd becauseC．
A．it was too wild to control
B．it was too young to walk so far
C．the owner might come by to pick it up
D．it might spoil the trip
58．The writer wasB the German Shepherd．
A．a(chǎn)fraid of　　　　　　　　　B．grateful to
C．cruel to 　　　　　　　　　D．a(chǎn)nnoyed with
59．Which of the following can't be used to describe the dog？D
A．Loyal 　　　　　　　　　B．Helpful
C．Lovely 　　　　　　　　 D．Wild．
