Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there.
“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won't be so much trash next time.”
The trash came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls, and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (球棒).
The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups — Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already retired (退休).
That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots, gloves and raincoats. They did the work along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day.
Many people laughed at the boy's story. However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.

【解析】這篇短文講述的是在一個雨天，一群志愿者們花費了8個小時的時間，去河邊撿拾垃圾。他們對自己的工作感到很驕傲，還愿意以后的時間再來做這樣的好事。

（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的開頭On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there可知，這些志愿者們是去Carson Creek去撿拾垃圾。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段中“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now其中一名志愿者說的話可知，他們非常喜歡志愿者的工作，因此應(yīng)選D。根據(jù)短文中Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already retired可知A不對；B和C兩個選項短文中沒有提到。

（3）詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的句子He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day可知，這個男孩用賣掉耳環(huán)剩下的一半錢他買冰淇淋吃，可知另外一半他沒有留下，是捐了出去。donate是捐贈的意思，故選D。

（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段中About nine tons of trash was taken out from there可知，志愿者們那天撿拾了9噸的垃圾，那里的垃圾應(yīng)該是減少了，而不是更多了，故A不對，選A。根據(jù)“We're planning to come back here one more time, three years from now.、A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars、They did the work along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.可知其他三個選項都是正確的。

（5）主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹的是很多志愿者們花費了8個小時的時間，去河邊的Carson Creek撿拾垃圾，因此C選項Picking up so much trash最能概括短文的大意，故應(yīng)選C。
