Question

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。(請(qǐng)將答案寫在答題卡上相應(yīng)番號(hào)后的橫線上) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

When you take a taxi in the United States, if you sit in the front seat, the driver will be pleased and talk with you all the way. If you sit in the back seat, however, the driver may be unhappy and unwilling to speak.

At first, I thought that this had something to do with different characters (性格) of the drivers. Later, after I’d had more experiences with taxis, I found that it happened very often. Only when I arrived in San Francisco did I ____________.

I went to see Sonia in San Francisco. One day, Sonia drove the car while her husband, Ji An, sat beside her, and I sat behind Ji An. Later, Ji An got out of the car and suggested that I sit where he had been sitting. It’s not a long way, so I told him that it didn’t matter, but Ji An insisted. I had to move, feeling a little strange.

“Do you know why Ji An asked you to sit here?” Sonia asked me. I shook my head. “If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee.”

With those words, I understood at once why taxi drivers were so pleased when people sat in the front. On the face of it, the only issue was where one sat. As a matter of fact, where to sit also reflected (反映) the degree of one’s respect for the driver.

Although it is true that the relationship between driver and passenger is a business relationship, people still place an emphasis (強(qiáng)調(diào)) on respect and friendship beyond any monetary (金錢的) relationship.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了子啊美國(guó)坐在出租車不同的位置就說(shuō)明你對(duì)司機(jī)的不同的看法。

1.Where Should I Sit/ Tront Seat or Back Seat?

主旨大意題。本文講述了我在美國(guó)做出租車的經(jīng)歷，如果坐在司機(jī)的旁邊說(shuō)明你把司機(jī)當(dāng)成朋友；如果坐在后面說(shuō)明你只是當(dāng)成生意的關(guān)系。

2. At face value, the only issue was where one sat.

原句中的no more than表示只是；說(shuō)明問(wèn)題就是在位置上，故可以轉(zhuǎn)換成At face value, the only issue was where one sat.

3. did I find out

本句是一個(gè)部分倒裝句。Only放在句首，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是狀語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，后面的主句要使用部分倒裝的形式。

4.(One possible version) Sitting in the front means friendship, while sitting in the back means relationship between employer and employee.

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee。

5.雖然司機(jī)和乘客是雇傭關(guān)系，但是人們?nèi)匀恢匾暯疱X關(guān)系以外的尊重和友誼。

翻譯題。本題的關(guān)鍵在于對(duì)于“although”以及“beyond”的理解。

考點(diǎn)：考查文化類短文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述了子啊美國(guó)坐在出租車不同的位置就說(shuō)明你對(duì)司機(jī)的不同的看法。要求考生在閱讀理解整體語(yǔ)篇的基礎(chǔ)上，把握文章的真正內(nèi)涵。要吃透文章的字面意思，從字里行間捕捉有用的提示和線索，這是推理的前提和基礎(chǔ);要對(duì)文字的表面信息進(jìn)行挖掘加工，由表入里，由淺入深，從具體到抽象，從非凡到一般，通過(guò)分析、綜合、判定等，進(jìn)行深層處理，符合邏輯地推理。不能就是論事，斷章取義，以偏概全。要忠實(shí)于原文，以文章提供的事實(shí)和線索為依據(jù)。
