Question

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad．I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia．On the night we arrived, we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer（活動房車） that was in poor conditions．A crew had been wolfing on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced．
We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances．The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen．
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family's three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children suavity ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded, "I just want a bed．"
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats．That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift．On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding．
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise．We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning．
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us．Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway．
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," he replied．
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it," I answered softly．Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow．
"Oh．．．that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly．
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means．

小題1:D
小題2:D
小題3:B

小題5:A

試題分析：文章是關(guān)于我在十六歲時與父親一起從事志愿者活動，幫助一貧困家庭建房子，買床和床上用品的故事。
小題1:D細節(jié)題。由題干中的“first”可把答案定位于第一、二段，第一段提到“"our family" was living
in a trailer”和第二段首句提到“We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house”，選項D
“處理住房問題”這兩句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。
小題2:D細節(jié)題。由題干中的“Josh’s answer”可把答案定位于第三、四段，D項“這男孩子們沒有床睡覺”是第三段最后一句話“we were astonished when Josh responded, "I just want a bed．"和第四段第一句話“The boys had never slept in a bed!”的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。
小題3:B 語義理解題。由題干中的“We could hardly contain ourselves”，定位答案于第五段，由此段最后一句話“It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning”可知“孩子們因為高興而興奮”，故答案為B。
小題4:C細節(jié)題。由題干中的“Eric”鎖定答案于第六到第九段，第七段提到“As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, ‘What is that?’”，由此可知“Eric以前沒見過枕頭”，故答案為C。
小題5:A語義理解題。從全文可以看出“pillow”對我和爸爸幫助的一家孩子來說是必要的物品。當作者想買東西，爸爸總會問“Do you have a pillow?”,由此可知爸爸的意思指“已有‘枕頭’類的必要東西，其他不必要的東西就不必買”，故答案為A。
