B
When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life
was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible.
On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home,
with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the
sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in
such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but
he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up and then smiled.
Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass.
You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away I can’t explain the
effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost
completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.
That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years whenever I
see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of
hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit
with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at
the checkout line or it could be anything.
If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope.
4. What the meaning of the underlined phrase in the third paragraph?
A. Give up. B. Check out. C. Sign up. D. Hold
on.
5. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He had known the young man for a long time. B. He made friends with the young man
afterwards.
C. He was grateful to that young man very much. D. He has avoided meeting the young
man since then.
6. The author has given a lot of help to others in order to ________.
A. show his sympathy to those who are badly ill B. give others hope of life when they
are in trouble
C. realize his promise made to the young man D. get respect from those who were
helped by him
7. What can we know from the text?
A. The young man always tried his best to help those who were in trouble.
B. It was the young man’s smile and words that made the author feel hopeful.
C. The author had never been praised before he met with the young man.
D. The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者高中第一年正度过一段艰难的时间时，是一个
陌生人的微笑和话语带给了作者希望，也让作者给了别人很多帮助，以便在别人遇到困难
的时候给他们生活的希望。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just”以
及后文“He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope.”可知，后文提到陌生人给
了作者希望，可推测他对作者说一切都会过去，会没事的，要坚持住，故画线词意思是
“坚持”。A. Give up.放弃；B. Check out.退房；C. Sign up.报名；D. Hold on.坚持。故选
D。
