问题 Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales（称）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.
“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.
Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”
The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)
选项 5、The author mentioned Maria’s age at the beginning of the story in order to show that _________.
A. she was young but behaved properly
B. she would not have left home alone
C. everyone around her was wrong
D. it was not good that nobody offered to help her
答案A
解析这是一道态度题，本题询问作者在文章初始就提到玛丽亚的年龄的目的是什么，这个故事发生的情节是我们生活中常见到的现象，对于一个十六岁就独自一人离开家乡的女孩，忧虑情怀在所难免，在机场遇到这样一位缺乏绅士风度的男士，她是默默忍让还是据理相争就是这个故事的看点了，因此作者将玛丽亚的行为与那位男士的行为进行对比，旨在表达虽然玛丽亚年纪不大，但表现得体，把这件事处理地很好，所以选择答案A。
