Answer 1

1. D 2. B 3. C 5. D

Omar Chajam是一位留著長胡子的有智慧的老人，當有 人說臟話冒犯他時，他不是用同樣的臟話來反擊對方，而是 不在乎，仍保持微笑。

1. D 細節理解題。根據第二段“Chajam didn't care. He just

smiled and walked on. ”可知，當別人對Chajam說臟話 時，他不在乎，只是微笑。因此選D.

2. B詞義猜測題。由畫線詞后的“Don’t you feel hurt?”可猜

測，這個人很不理解Chajam面對別人的臟話仍然保持 微笑的行為。此處B項符合語境。

3. C 細節理解題。由第五段“Then he found an old jacket.He threw it to the man and said, ‘ Try it,and it will suit you. ’”可知，Chajam把這個穿戴很好的人帶到臟房間 后，讓他穿一件舊夾克衫。C項符合題意。

4_ A推理判斷題。由第六段最后一句“He threw the jacket back. ”可推斷，這個人不愿意穿這件舊夾克衫，他很生 氣，所以把衣服扔回去了。故選A項。

5. D主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了有人辱罵Chajam ,但是Chajam不在乎別人的臟話，仍保持微 笑。這個故事告訴我們：當面對別人不好的行為時，最 好的方式就是保持微笑。故選D項。

a pile of —堆……

similarly 相似地，類似地

障礙句分析：

  It was so worn-out that it even had some holes in it.它是如此的破舊，甚至上面有一些破洞。

  “so +形容詞或副詞+ that”引導結果狀語從句，意思是 “如此……以至于……”。如果主句謂語動詞是be動詞，so 后用形容詞;若為實義動詞，則用副詞。
