Question

【題目】 Smile Train is a charity ( 慈善團(tuán)體) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect（ 缺 陷 ）. The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.

Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed（ 尷 尬 ）of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.

A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising.

One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted（收養(yǎng)）by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available（可獲得的）.”

【解析】

這篇短文給我們介紹了一個慈善團(tuán)體——微笑列車，這個組織是幫助全世界那些患有面部缺陷的兒童的，給他們提供手術(shù)，給這些孩子新的微笑、新的希望、新的開始。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Smile Train is a charity ( 慈善團(tuán)體) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect（ 缺 陷 ）.”和“The charity provides free operations…”可知，這個慈善團(tuán)體為面部缺陷兒童提供免費的醫(yī)療幫助。故選C。

【2】

詞意猜測題。given up放棄；dressed up打扮；called up召集；brought up提出。根據(jù)第二段中“because their parents feel ashamed（ 尷 尬 ）of them or cannot afford the operations”可知，因為有面部缺陷孩子父母為他們感到羞恥，或者負(fù)擔(dān)不起手術(shù)費用，所以有這種缺陷的孩子在出生時往往被遺棄，所以劃線部分單詞abandoned與given up意思相同。故選A。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。It costs nothing.它不用花錢。根據(jù)第二段中“It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing.”可知，這種手術(shù)不花錢，所以A項正確。It takes many hours.它需要好幾個小時。根據(jù)第二段中“It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing.”可知，這種手續(xù)只需要不到一個小時，而不是好幾個小時，所以B項錯誤。The operation is easy.這種手術(shù)是容易的。根據(jù)第二段中“The good news is that the operation is not difficult.”可知，這種手術(shù)是容易的，所以C項正確。The right medical volunteers perform it.合適的醫(yī)療志愿者來做它。根據(jù)第二段中“The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.”可知，慈善機(jī)構(gòu)籌集資金，并找到合適的醫(yī)療志愿者來實施手術(shù)，所以D項正確。故選B。

【4】

觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第三段中“Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy.”可知，每個接受手術(shù)的孩子都有第二次生命。 在家呆了這么多年后，孩子們終于可以去上學(xué)，過上幸福的生活，所以這位醫(yī)生認(rèn)為自己的志愿者工作是有價值的。故選D。

【5】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.”和最后一段中“Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available”可知，為了幫助面部有缺陷的孩子，需要訓(xùn)練更多的醫(yī)生。故選B。
