25、orn equal专题限时训练(十七)人物型阅读理解(一)1B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“disbelief(不相信) ”以及第三段中的“I was just shocked”，可知Agatha Lee对当选为Flagler County年度教师感到很吃惊。2C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知C正确。3B细节理解题。根据第五段可知，要成为年度教师，leadership“领导能力”是必须具备的能力之一，因此选择B。4B事实排序题。解答该题可用时间顺序法和排除法。由倒数第二段的时间点2004和2005可知和发生在先，故先排除D项。再由倒数第二段第一句可知发生在的前面，故选B。(二)1D推理判断题。文
26、章倒数第二段提到作者后来意识到她之所以买作者的三明治是因为她看到作者因吃到一份热午餐这样简单的事情而非常激动，由此可推断她是想关心作者。2C推理判断题。倒数第三段最后提到作者不在乎很多孩子对自助餐厅食物的抱怨，由此可推断作者喜欢吃自助餐厅的食物。3A词义猜测题。破折号前面提到作者不在乎其他孩子对食物的抱怨，破折号后面是感叹句，下一段的后半部分又提到作者因吃到一份热午餐而非常激动，由此可推断作者觉得这些食物非常好吃。4C主旨大意题。文章倒数第二段揭示了Mrs. Amatuli买作者的三明治的真正原因，最后一段则提到作者将效仿她的热情和慷慨，所以本文的主题应是“世界到处都是爱”。(三)1C细节理解题。结合倒数第三段中的内容以及倒数第二段后半部分的内容可知修鞋匠为自己精湛的技艺感到骄傲。2A推理判断题。从文章第三段及第七段的内容可知大多数修鞋匠只是敷衍了事，而这位老修鞋匠全神贯注于自己的工作，为自己的技艺而骄傲，犹如古代的传说，由此可推断如今像他这样的人几乎找不到了。3C推理判断题。最后一段提到只要有报酬，就有人去做，人们把工作看作是通往不断增加的消费的一条路，而不是实现自身能力的一种方式，由此可推断很多人工作只是为了“赚钱”。4B主旨大意题。文章最后一句点明了主题，老修鞋匠把自己的工作完成得很好，从中获得了最大的满足，所以本文的主旨是不管做什么，都要把它做好。
