Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute，” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing，” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown？”
“It’s not the shortest way，” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry，” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器)．
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the address she had given me. “How much do I owe you？” she asked. K12小学初中高中

“Nothing.” I said. “You have to make a living，” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers，” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
60．The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______. A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time
61．The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______. A. wanted to do her a favor
B. shut off the meter by mistake
C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers 62．What can we learn from the story? A. Giving is always a pleasure.
B. People should respect each other.
C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern. [答案]
作者回顾了20年前的一段往事：一天凌晨两点半，他去接一位乘客，一个马上要被送到临终医院的80多岁的老太太。应老人的要求，他缓慢地开车陪同老太太在市区驶过她熟悉的工作和生活过的地方。天亮了，他把老太太送到了目的地，却执意分文不收。
60．B。考查推理判断。从文章的叙述看，老太太说她马上要被送到临终医院，剩下的日子不多，并指引我在市区缓慢行驶，走过她学习、工作和生活过的地方。从这些信息看，她这样做的目的是B，即为了最后看一眼这些有着她的回忆的地方。
61．A。考查推理判断。作者在开车陪同老太太几个小时后，执意不收取一分钱的车费，并拥抱老太太和她告别。从文章的叙述可知，作者不收钱的原因是A，为了让老太太在到临终医院之前充分享受人间的温暖。
62．C。考查推理判断。本文介绍作者开出租时的一次载客经历。从文章的叙述，我们看见作者诚实和助人为乐的善良之心：他将老太太搀扶到车上，再帮她拿行李，善解人意的他缓慢地带着老太太行驶在街头。老太太说，“你给了一个老太太快乐的时刻”。

Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in！” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you！” his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. K12小学初中高中

It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40－minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，” she explained.
63．What was the most probably cause for Lisa’s weakness? A. She had run a long way. B. She felt hot in the subway. C. She had done a lot of work.
D. She had donated blood the night before.
64．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend? A. Because they would miss their train. B. Because he didn’t see the train coming. C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him. 65．How did Frank save Lisa?
A. By lifting her to the platform. B. By helping her rise to her feet. C. By pulling her along the ground. D. By dragging her away from the edge. 66．When did Lisa become conscious again? A. When the train was leaving.
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head. 67．The passage is intended to ______. A. warn us of the danger in the subway
B. show us how to save people in the subway C. tell us about a subway rescue D. report a traffic accident [答案]
Lisa因工作过度劳累加上献血，在等车的时候晕倒在地铁的铁轨上，但及时地被正在站台旁边等车的人们救起，幸运地躲过了一劫。
63．D。事实细节题。文中第一段倒数第二句提到“...maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before”可知Lisa认为她的这次眩晕与献血有关，故D项为答案。
64．D。推理判断题。Frank跳下去救Lisa时，车马上就要来了，由文章最后一段Jennifer所说的“I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die”可知Jennifer极力阻拦她男朋友下去救人是怕他会被撞死，故D项正确。
65．A。事实细节题。从文章第五段第二句中的“he managed to raise her four feet to the platform”可知答案。该题也可以通过排除法来做。
66．B。事实细节题。文中第五段最后一句提到“That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness”，此处that代指前面的platform。由此可知B项正确。
67．C。主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章主要讲述了Lisa在地铁站被路人救起的故事。 K12小学初中高中
