I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days,like
36 and straightforward. And it’s still what
37 a man a good citizen. This is my code(准则),and I try to live by.
I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years,
38 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough and tumble(乱作一团) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be
39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day.
Because taxi drivers are tough,people get the
40 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as
41 fellows. Almost every week you read in the papers where a taxi driver
42 money or jewels or like that people leave in their
43 . If they weren't honest,you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers. One time,I found an emerald(翡翠的)ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day,so I went back to where I had
44 her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her
45 to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.”
46 ,I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she
47 .
I was born and brought up in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I
48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in World War I. After being discharged(退伍),I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy
49 ,but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit
50 for a rainy day(一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi,I have never had___
51__ with the public,not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(顽固的) once in a while,I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.
People ask me about tips. As far as I know,
52 everyone will give you something,because most Americans are
53 generous. I always try to be nice to everyone,whether they
54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish(教区). I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time,and the
55 I try,the easier it gets.

本试题 “I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days,like 36 and straightforward. And it’s s...” 主要考查您对 日常生活类阅读 等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
日常生活类阅读的概念:
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:
【题型说明】 该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。 【备考提醒】 为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点: 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
