試題分析:本文介紹了大學(xué)生做志愿者幫助他人并從中學(xué)會(huì)了很多的故事。
小題1:D  take only two classes只上兩節(jié)課。
小題2:B上文提到I wasn’t working that summer and taking only two classes in summer school,據(jù)此判斷free time“空閑時(shí)間”切題。
小題3:A根據(jù)下文所述,應(yīng)選A項(xiàng),意為“幫忙(做飯)”。D項(xiàng)“洗刷”不確切。
小題4:C cook hot meals for 45 people意為“為45口人做熱騰騰的飯”。ordered和bought雖用法上正確,但與上文提到的help in the kitchen不相符。
小題5:A with“具有,配有”,with短語作meal的定語。
小題6:B作者對(duì)這些“無家可歸者”持同情態(tài)度,應(yīng)選B項(xiàng),即“需要食用這樣豐盛的飯菜”,否則前后不吻合。
小題7:D從very nice, talked to a lot of… 等來看,作者應(yīng)該是“喜歡自己的義務(wù)工作”。
小題8:C根據(jù)下文nice elderly housewife以及l(fā)ike me等判斷,作者與另外四位志愿者關(guān)系融洽,故選擇C項(xiàng)。require此處意為“需要”。
小題9:B從上文taking only two classes in summer school判斷,作者身份為大學(xué)生,故選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題10:B fill me with sympathy使我充滿了同情之心。provide sb. with sth.“供應(yīng)某人某物”,含義不妥。
小題11:D從下文others only had bad… 來分析,此處為“有些人存有嗜酒、吸毒問題”。habit通常與of搭配。
小題12:A從下面所舉事例可知答案。
小題13:C so和thus表因果關(guān)系,again表動(dòng)作重復(fù)發(fā)生,均不合題意。then在此表示前后動(dòng)作先后發(fā)生,正合題意。
小題14:D前句提到lost her job,故選D項(xiàng)。
小題15:A從One woman worked for almost 30 years可知答案。
小題16:C so that表目的,could為重要標(biāo)志。for fear“以免”,文意不通。
小題17:Ago on job hunting意為“繼續(xù)找工作”,切合題意。
小題18:Bstill“仍然,依然”,句意通順。
小題19:Dflat意為“公寓”,另外三項(xiàng)不符合這位婦女當(dāng)時(shí)所處的情況。
小題20:Aafraid與alone, homeless相匹配。
點(diǎn)評(píng):介紹了大學(xué)生做志愿者幫助他人并從中學(xué)會(huì)了很多的故事。答題前一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想,注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中,一定要認(rèn)真分析,注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系,與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對(duì)于一時(shí)沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成,因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章,看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語句通順,語意連貫。

The most frightening words in the English language are “our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s right, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down, it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said, “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I can’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington.” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the desk screen. “Only IT knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
小題1:The word “down” in the sentence ‘Our computer is down.’ means _____________.
A.fallingB.downcastC.dropD.dead
小題2:The best title of the article is _________.
A.Asking the Computer
B.The Computer of the Airport
C.The Most Frightening Words
D.When the Computer Is Down
小題3:What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?
A.She could answer the passengers’ questions
B.She could do nothing.
C.She could sell a ticket.
D.She could write out a ticket.

When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great.

When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fare, he collected cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.
That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. "It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just fun," he said. "It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.
Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train —but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. "He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train," his mother said.
But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, accepted the letter in person. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.
