题文
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had stumbled over something and dropped all of the books he was carrying along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if Ihad killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

小题1:猜测词意题。根据上下文而作出正确判断。通过此句后“…and dropped all of the books he was carrying…”的意思,可以看出, stumbled是“绊倒; 失去平衡”的
意思, 所以D为正确答案。
小题2:推理判断题。由最后一段中 “But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would missed that time and so many others that might follows.”可以推出Bill非常珍惜与Mark交往的那些日子。A，S，D三项文中均示涉及到。
小题3:推理判断题。由最后一段可知作者强调的是人与人之间的友谊和一颗好心。故A为正确答案。
小题4:细节理解题。由第一段中“he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.” 最后一段中
“ I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit
suicide(自杀) ”可以判断B为最佳答案。
小题5:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Mark通过一件小事，无意中拯救了Bill的生命，说明友谊的重要性,哪怕是浅浅的一丝微笑，微不足道的行为，很简单举动，只要是善意的，都可能对别人产生莫大的鼓舞或动力，所以B为正确答案。
