Ⅳ.阅读理解
There's no danger of 88yearold Harry Ward forgetting his wife Doris's Valentine's Day card — the couple still use the same one he bought her 70 years ago.
When 17yearold Harry Ward presented Doris with a Valentine's Day card as he boarded a train to join the wartime effort on February 14, 1941, he must have been fairly confident about his affections (钟爱). After all the couple had been dating since they met in a café three months earlier.
But little can he have imagined that 70 years on, not only would he still be happy about having married Doris, but that every year she would present him with the very same card he gave her that Valentine's Day. “I bring it out of the cupboard and put it on our mantelpiece (壁炉台) every Valentine's Day,” she said. “It's a special to me now as it was 70 years ago. Harry has never bought me one since, because I have this one every year.”
They first met in a café. “Harry was in the café drinking and he said hello. He asked me my name and we got talking happily. He offered to walk me to the bus stop but when we got outside, a bombing raid (突然攻击) had started and we had to run to a nearby airraid shelter (防空洞),” Doris said.
Mr.Ward said,“I knew Doris was the one for me the moment I met her. I gave her the Valentine's card then and she is still my Valentine now.” Mrs.Ward's card is not the only thing that has endured the passing of time.
“Harry is quite romantic and we are as still in love as the day he first gave me this card,”Dorris said.
1.When did the couple first meet?
A. In 1940. B. In 1939.
C. In 1941. D. In 1942.
答案与解析 A 从其次段中可知,1941年2月14日Harry上火车前送给Doris情人节卡片。最终一句说他们在三个月前在咖啡厅相遇。由此推知,A项正确。
2.Why does Mrs.Ward always use the same Valentine's Day card?
A. She is an environmentalist.
B. She can't afford a new one.
C. She values the card very much.
D. She doesn't want to waste money.
答案与解析 C 从文章第三段最终Doris所说的话可知,C项正确。
3.What do we know about the 70yearold Valentine's Day card?
A. It was first given to Doris on a plane.
B. It is usually kept in their cupboard.
C. It was made by hand by Mr.Ward.
D. It is sent to Doris by post every year.
答案与解析 B 从第三段其次句“I bring it out of the cupboard and . . . every Valentine's Day”可知,B项正确。
4.By saying “Mrs.Ward's card is not the only thing that has endured the passing of time.”, the author means ________.
A. The card records their romance
B. The card will still be used in future
C. They both treasure the very card
D. Their affections are still strong
答案与解析 D 从最终一句“We are as still in love as the day he first gave me this card. ”可知,他们的爱情仍旧坚若磐石。D项正确。
