問題詳情：

    Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【分析】

本文是一篇記敍文。文中作者講述了她們一家經歷的一件事情。作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包，正當着急的時候，有人打電話給送了回來，原來是那家人發現他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發現了這些文件，然後給送還了回來，通過這件事作者一家又找回了對人的信任。

51．細節理解題。根據文章首段Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house可知，Rashid到了悉尼後，在旅館待了很短一段時間就出去給家人找房子了。故選B。

52．細節理解題。根據文章倒數第二段At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.可知，陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信裏的內容得知他的電話號碼的，故*選C。

53．猜測詞義題。根據文章倒數第二段My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.可知，那家人把撿到的文件送還給作者的丈夫，應該是“歸還”文件，由此判斷該詞意思是“歸還”。故選D。

54．主旨大意題。文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱，但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等整理好送還給作者的丈夫，這些別人眼裏的垃圾對作者的丈夫來説非常重要，由此判斷C選項內容更能體現文章中心。故選C。
