【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者一家去加拿大纽芬兰岛旅行时,

最让他们难忘的不是那里的美景，而是一位陌生的善良的女士将私家

车借给作者一家，让他们自驾体验美景……

24.Whatdidthecabdrivertakeprideinasanative?

A.Theirkindnessandenthusiasm.

B.Theircheapserviceandfriendliness.

C.Theirunselfishnessanddetermination.

D.Theirrichexperienceandlocalknowledge.

选A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“'Ourgenerosityandhospitality,'he

repliedinastronglocalaccent.Ifyourcarbreaksdowninthemiddleof

nowhere,someonewillstoptohelp.Peopleherearekindlikethat.可知,

当地人的善良和热情让出租车司机自豪。

25.Theunderlinedword“dumbfounded"inParagraph5probablymeans

A.annoyedB.satisfied

C.shockedD.embarrassed

选Co词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句"Andthen,ascasuallyasifoffering

apieceofchewinggum,shesaid,"Takemine!可知，那位女士让我们用

她的车；结合该句〃MyhusbandandIjustsmiledindisbelief,

dumbfounded.“可推知，听到陌生人给我们提供汽车，我和丈夫应是不

敢相信，感到很惊讶。画线词与该句中的"indisbelief”相呼应，表示〃惊

呆的〃。

26.WhatimpressedtheauthormostduringherstayinNewfoundland?

A.Thelocalcultureoftheisland.

B.Theanswerfromthecabdriver.

C.Thebeautifulsceneryoftheisland.

D.Thehelpfromanenthusiasticstranger.

选Do细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句"Instead,itwastheactof

kindnessfromacompletestrangerthatmadeusrealizehowspecial

Newfoundlandreallywas."可知，最让作者难忘的是一位陌生人友好的

帮助，即她将自己的车借给了作者。

27.Whatcanweinferabouttheauthorfromthelastparagraph?

A.SheexpectstovisitNewfoundlandagain.

B.Shehasn'tdecidedwheretogonextyearyet.

C.SheislookingforwardtomeetingAlmaoncemore.

D.Shealsowantstobekindtoothersduringthevacation.

选Ao推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者希望再次去纽芬兰岛旅游。

【知识拓展】长难句分析

LittledidIknowwewereabouttoexperiencesomeofthatremarkable

Newfoundlandkindnessforourselves.

分析：该句为主从复合句。句中wewereabouttoexperiencesomeof

that[]remarkableNewfoundlandkindnessforourselves为省略了that的宾

语从句，作及物动词know的宾语；否定词little置于句首，构成部分倒

装，需将助动词did放到主语I的前面。
