Ever since Jerusha started her college, she began to write letters. Through a series of letters, from freshman to senior in college, she shared her life and study with an unknown gentleman, who never wrote back. Here is the very first letter.

Dear Mr. Kind, Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It"s a funny experience. I never rode in one before. College is the biggest, most confusing place — I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will tell you more later when I"m feeling less puzzled. Now I want to write a letter first just to get me familiar to you. It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don"t know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all — I"ve never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if they are not a model kind. Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave, especially towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful. I have been thinking of you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it"s a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imaqination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I .You are tall. II .You are rich. III. You hate girl. I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that"s rather unpleasant to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that"s unpleasant to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Maybe you won"t stay rich all your life; But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I decide to call you Dear Daddy-long-legs. I hope you won"t mind. It"s just a private pet name — we won"t tell Mrs. Lippett. The ten o"clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. There it goes! Lights out. Good night. You can see how strictly I obey rules due to my training in the John Grier Home. Yours most respectfully, Jerusha Abbott

答案

小题1:D

小题3:B
小题4:B

解析

本文是一位刚进入大学的大学生给一位素未谋面却一直在帮着她的一位绅士的第一封信。
小题1:D细节理解题。根据信的第二段最后一句话可知A项正确；根据第四段，Mrs. Lippett告诉我如何处世，尤其对那个一直帮助自己的人，说明作者写信也为了表达感激之情。作者刚进大学，故写信也为了分享他刚打大学的生活。故只有D是错误的。答案为D。
小题2:C推断题。由第四段可知，Mrs. Lippett告诫我要对帮助自己的人礼貌，而自己却给那人起绰号，所以如果她知道的话，应该会生气。
小题3:B猜测句意题。本句话的意思是：当我想起你的时候，我的想象力根本无法开展工作。说明“我”的“你”的了解甚少，不知如何展开想象。
小题4:B 推理判断题。根据作者写作的目的和所写的内容可知，作者当时心情很轻松。
