California,itwasmymisfortunetocomeacrossaclerkwhosepersonalityconflicted

withmine.Heseemedquiteunfriendlyandnotatallconcernedaboutmyintended

在南加州的一个小镇购物时，不幸遇到了一个与我性格相左的店员。他似乎很不友好，一点

也不关心我打算买的东西。我什么也没买，气愤地走出商店）可知作者怒气冲冲地大步走出

商店，是因为他很不幸，遇到了一位死板的店员。故选A。

【25题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第二段"Thewomansteppedforwardandeyedmeinquiringly.

“Carlos,henospeakEnglish,“shevolunteered."YouwantIshouldtellhim

something?"w（那女人走上前去，好奇地看着我。“卡洛斯，他不会说英语，”她主动

说。“你想让我告诉他一些事情吗？）可知，这位女士并不认识作者，看到作者和语言不通

的卡洛斯说话，主动上前去解释而且还要帮忙传话，由此可以看出这位女士英语不好，但乐

于助人，又有好奇心。故选C。

【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话"Fromthatdayon,Ibecamesmile-conscious,

andIpracticetheartdiligently,anywhereandeverywhere,witheverybody."（从

那天起，我变得有微笑意识，不管何时何地，我勤奋地在练习这项艺术。）由此推断出在接

下来的段落，作者可能会提到他是如何用微笑来解决问题的。故选B。

【27题详解】

Itisnotonlyusedtoexpresspleasure,affection,andfriendliness,butalsothe

commonestwaytoshowourgoodwillperfectlywithoutsayinganything.”（微笑

只是一种面部表情吗？当然不是!它不仅用来表达快乐、感情和友好，还是不用说话就能表达

善意的最普遍的方式。）这是文章的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲述了微笑

的强大力量。故选D。
