         On a very cold evening in northern Virginia many yean ago, an old man was waiting for a ride across the
    river. Anxiously (焦急地), he watched as several horsemen passed by, then another. Finally, the last rider
    came to the place where the old man sat. As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider's eyes and said,
    "Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?"
         Reining (勒隹缰绳) his horse, the rider replied, "Sure." Seeing the old man was unable to lift his half-frozen
    (冻得半僵的) body from the ground, the rider got off the horse and helped the old man onto it. He took the
    old man not only across the river, but also to his house, which was just a few miles away.
         As they came to his house, the rider's curiosity (好奇心) caused him to ask the old man, "Sir, I noticed
    that you let several other riders pass by without asking for help. Then I came up and you immediately asked
    me for a ride. What would happen if I had refused and left you there?"
         The old man lowered himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied,
    I've been there for some time. I think I know people well. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and
    immediately saw there was no worry about my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a
    ride. But when I looked into your eyes, I saw kindness and compassion (同情)? I knew you would give me
    a hand."
         Those words moved the rider deeply. He said to the old man, "I am very grateful for what you have said.
    May (但愿) I never get too busy with my own things that I fail to help others with kindness and compassion."
    1. The old man found that the last rider was _____.
    A. unhelpful
    B. kind and helpful
    C. curious and active
    D. indifferent (漠不关心的)
    2. What did the last rider do after the old man asked him to give him a ride?
    A. He refused the old man at first.
    B. He only took the old man across the river.
    C. He took the old man to his house at last.
    D. He asked the old man to get on the horse himself.
    3. The old man let several other riders pass by without asking for help because _____.
    A. he was so frozen that he couldn't say a word
    B. he was too nervous to ask them for help
    C. he couldn't see kindness and compassion in their eyes
    D. he didn't want to accept their help at all
    4. By saying "May I never get too busy with my own things that I fail to help others with kindness and
        compassion.", the last rider means _____.
    A. he will try to help others whole-heartedly (全心全意地) from now on even if he is busy
    B. he will never get too busy in his own things any longer
    C. he wasn't willing to help others with kindness and compassion in the past
    D. he failed to help others in the past because he was not very kind

  • 任务型阅读。阅读下面短文,根据所给语境,按要求完成下列各题。
         When we compare ourselves with great people, we may feel very ordinary (平凡的) and unimportant.
    However, we must remember that those great people were extraordinary (卓越的). The world has more
    than 6 billion people, so it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary. What can we do? We can try to be
    the best people that we can possibly be.
         ①I think this means that we need to be honest and hard-working. We also need to be open-minded and
    kind to other people. Most importantly, we need to be ambitious (有雄心的). We need to always set goals
    for ourselves and work hard to achieve these goals.
         Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working, kind and ambitious, and they worked hard to
    achieve their goals. Curie gave her life to"ease(减轻) human suffering". Edison spent his life as an inventor.
    He invented a camera that showed movement. Later people used cameras to make modem films.
         A famous writer from Ireland once wrote,"We are all in the gutter (社会底层) but some of us are looking
    at the stars." ②I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something. It reminds me that we
    are all at a lower level and that we all have a higher goal to work towards. It makes me try to be the best
    person that I can possibly be.
    1. Is it difficult for all of us to be extraordinary according to the passage?
