B.ARudeClerkC.AWarm-HeartedWoman D.APowerfulSmile【答案】24.A25.C26.B27.D【解析】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。作者通過自己的切身經歷說明了微笑的強大力量。【24題詳解】細節理解題。根據文章第二段“OnedaywhileshoppinginasmalltowninsouthernCalifornia,itwasmymisfortunetocomeacrossaclerkwhosepersonalityconflictedwithmine.Heseemedquiteunfriendlyandnotatallconcernedaboutmyintendedpurchase.Iboughtnothing,andmarchedangrilyoutofthestore.”（有一天，我在南加州的一個小鎮購物時，不幸遇到了一個與我性格相左的店員。他似乎很不友好，一點也不關心我打算買的東西。我什么也沒買，氣憤地走出商店）可知作者怒氣沖沖地大步走出商店，是因為他很不幸，遇到了一位死板的店員。故選A。【25題詳解】推理判斷題。根據文章第二段“Thewomansteppedforwardandeyedmeinquiringly.“Carlos,henospeakEnglish,”shevolunteered.“YouwantIshouldtellhimsomething?””（那女人走上前去，好奇地看著我?！翱逅梗粫f英語，”她主動說?！澳阆胱屛腋嬖V他一些事情嗎？）可知，這位女士并不認識作者，看到作者和語言不通的卡洛斯說話，主動上前去解釋而且還要幫忙傳話，由此可以看出這位女士英語不好，但樂于助人，又有好奇心。故選C?！?6題詳解】推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段最后一句話“Fromthatdayon,Ibecamesmile-conscious,andIpracticetheartdiligently,anywhereandeverywhere,witheverybody.”（從那天起，我變得有微笑意識，不管何時何地，我勤奮地在練習這項藝術。）由此推斷出在接下來的段落，作者可能會提到他是如何用微笑來解決問題的。故選B。【27題詳解】主旨大意題。文章第一段第一句話“Issmilejustafacialexpression?Ofcoursenot!Itisnotonlyusedtoexpresspleasure,affection,andfriendliness,butalsothecommonestwaytoshowourgoodwillperfectlywithoutsayinganything.”（微笑只是一種面部表情嗎?當然不是!它不僅用來表達快樂、感情和友好，還是不用說話就能表達善意的最普遍的方式。）這是文章的主題句，結合全文內容，可知這篇文章主要講述了微笑的強大力量。故選D。CRisingnumbersofolderadultsareunabletocareforthemselves,oftenleadingtoserioushealthproblemsandevendeath,accordingtostateandlocalgovernmentagencies.So-calledself-neglectcasesgenerallyinvolvetheinabilitytoperformbasicself-care,suchasprovidingoneselfwithfood,personalhealth,medicationandsafety.Seniorswhonolongerdrive,forinstance,areoftenunabletogettomedicalappointments,worseninghealthproblemsthatcanmakethemunabletocareforthemselves.Afallcanresultinbodyinjuriesleavingonebedriddenandunabletocareforoneself.Failuretopaybillsforpublicservicescouldleadtoservicecutoffs.Forgettingtopayrentcouldleadtothelossofahome.Mr.Mc-Cormack,75yearsold,andhiswife,71,bothhadmentalillnessandstayedinhospitalsfromtimetotime,unabletocarefortheirpossessions.Despiterepeatedvisitstotheirhomebylocalofficials,theMc-Cormacksrefusedassistance.ButaftertheywerefoundlivingintheircarparkedoutsidetheirhouseinDecember2017,officialsremovedthemfromtheirhomeandhelpedthemsettleinanursinghome.Self-neglectcases,likeabove,involved144,296peopleacrossthecountryin2018,accordingtoareport.Thefederalgovernmentdoesn'thavecomparabledataforpreviousyears,butseveralstateandlocalserviceproviderssaytheyareseeingtheself-neglectproblemrise.Thereasonsseniorsstopcaringforthemselvesvary,includingillness,depressionandpoverty.Thelossofthespouseoraneighborwhopreviouslykeptaneyeonanindividualoftenstartsadeclineintoself-neglect,expertssay.Andthekeytoreducingself-neglectcasesisprovidingservicestoenableseniorstoremainintheirhomessafely,suchasreliabletransportationformedicalappointmentsandshopping,aswellasaffordablehomehelp.28.WhatisthefunctionofParagraph2?A.Giveexamplesofself-neglectcases.
