热考素材 五育并举·德育 To celebrate his friend's birthday, Luke Fortune drove from a small town in Central Oregon to Portland, where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight. The next morning, he discovered that the car's window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone. “Everything important to me was on that computer,” said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic(护理人员).
Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei, 29, was an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only 200. Almazrouei, who had been in the United States for only a year, admitted that he was naive(天真的). But he needed a computer so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.“I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,” he said. “I realized it could be stolen.” Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner’s cellphone number and called it.Fortune didn’t trust this guy with a thick accent and thought it was a scam.Soon after, a police officer called Fortune, saying that a man had dropped the computer off and had said he was sorry. He passed along the man’s number.Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of 200, the money he lost. Almazrouei refused. He said it was his mistake to buy the computer from someone he didn’t know. More important, he said, it was his honor and duty as a Muslim to return the property to the rightful owner. “I saw a photo of this man in his paramedic uniform,” Almazrouei said. “They help people. He is a good man. I don’t want my money back.”
Still, the encounter produced its own kind of rewards. For Fortune, it was a lesson in cultural awareness during the sometimes terrible national argument about immigrants(移民), especially from the Arab world. “I’m from a small mainly white town,” Fortune said. “I’ve never met a man from the Arab world. To my surprise, he’s a good man.”
Almazrouei’s lesson was perhaps beyond words. When a story about the two young men’s encounter made it to the local papers, Almazrouei received a call from Wim Wiewel, the president of Portland State University, where Almazrouei is studying economics.
“We thought since you gave back the laptop, we should give you a laptop so that you’ll have one,” Wiewel told him. “We’re proud of you. It was a great story, but you did the right thing.”

答案
本文主要讲述了一个名叫Luke Fortune的年轻人的电脑失而复得的故事。
1. B 信息排序题。根据第一段中的“The next morning, he discovered that the car's window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone.”、第二段中的“But he needed a computer so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.”和第三段中的“Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner's cellphone number and called it.”可知，首先是电脑被盗，接着是被Almazrouei买到，然后是发现文件和照片，最后是打电话给失主。
2. A 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的Fortune didn't trust this guy with a thick accent可推断，他认为这是一个骗局，scam意为“骗局”，与trick意思相近。
3. D 句意理解题。根据后面的“For Fortune, it was a lesson in cultural awareness ... from the Arab world.”和“Almazrouei's lesson was perhaps beyond words.”可推断，两个年轻人都以自己的方式得到了经验教训。
4. C 推理判断题。根据第七段中的内容可推断，Fortune不是来自阿拉伯世界。
