【題目】After his Master Chef Junior run, 12-year-old Evan Robinson is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico(波多黎各). The TV show winner wanted to offer help after hurricanes(颶風(fēng))hit the country last September.

I’ve been seeing, all over the news, people lived too hard,”Evan said.“They can’t get fresh water, electricity. They can’t get really anything. I know I’m just a kid, but I think if a lot of people do something, a lot of things will get better.”

He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade pies. He started cooking on a recent Friday night. By the next Sunday evening, he had filled orders for 420 pies—roasted chicken, cheeseburger and vegetarian—getting $18 for six pies and $30 for a dozen.

For Evan’s out-of-town friends and supporters, he has also set up a crowdfunding(眾籌)page. Through it, he’s already raised $1,500 in“virtual(虛擬的)pies”. He said fruit pies are up next.

His mom, Veronica Robinson, is in charge of delivering the pies around the city.“We’ve never done anything like this before,”she said.“But it’s a great idea, so I want to help him.”

His baking will continue as well. This is because he heard on the news that it would take Puerto Rico years, maybe even 10 years, to recover(恢復(fù))from the hurricanes.

It’s not an easy job, especially for a kid with homework and Boy Scouts and friendships to tend to. But he doesn’t seem worried.“It’s what we’re supposed to do,”he said.“I’m a human. They’re humans. Why shouldn’t help them?”

【解析】這篇短文給我們講述了12歲的Evan是一個(gè)電視節(jié)目的獲勝者,他會(huì)烘焙,自制餡餅。當(dāng)他聽說(shuō)波多黎各遭受了颶風(fēng)的襲擊之后,就開始通過(guò)在線訂購(gòu)自制餡餅的方式來(lái)籌集資金幫助那里的人們。

1根據(jù)短文開頭After his Master Chef Junior run, 12-year-old Evan Robinson is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico(波多黎各). The TV show winner wanted to…可知,這里的The TV show winner指代的就是12歲的Evan Robinson,所以這個(gè)題目的答案是肯定的。

2根據(jù)短文第一段中The TV show winner wanted to offer help after hurricanes(颶風(fēng))hit the country last September.可知,去年九月波多黎各遭受了颶風(fēng)的襲擊。答語(yǔ)中應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)was hit by hurricanes。

3根據(jù)短文第三段中He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade pies.可知,他是通過(guò)烘烤食物和接受在線訂購(gòu)自制餡餅這樣的方式來(lái)籌集資金。答案在這一句話中從by后開始回答就行。

4根據(jù)短文第四段中His mom, Veronica Robinson, is in charge of delivering the pies around the city.可知,Evan的媽媽負(fù)責(zé)在全城送餡餅,由此可知答案。

5根據(jù)短文第五段中His baking will continue as well. This is because he heard on the news that it would take Puerto Rico years, maybe even 10 years, to recover(恢復(fù))from the hurricanes.可知,Evan的烘焙會(huì)繼續(xù)下去,因?yàn)樗谛侣勚新犝f(shuō)波多黎各要花費(fèi)很多年,可能甚至10年的時(shí)間才能從颶風(fēng)造成的損害中恢復(fù)。由此可知答案。

6這個(gè)問(wèn)題是一個(gè)開放性的問(wèn)題,題意是:你想成為一個(gè)像Evan那樣的人嗎?除了捐錢,你還可以做些什么來(lái)幫助窮人?首先我們應(yīng)先回答Yes,然后在想想我們還可以做些什么,例如參加志愿者組織,只要答案符合題意,表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確即可。

A kind smile appeared on the woman’s face. “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered, “But the young lady in the green coat who just went by asked me to wear this rose on my coat.

【題目】閱讀D根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,將下面方框中的句子還原到文章當(dāng)中使短文內(nèi)容完整。

請(qǐng)將答案編號(hào)涂卡。

Complain(抱怨) Politely

Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a product that breaks the next day.

1However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive(自衛(wèi)的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective (有效的)way to get what you want is to stay calm.

Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice. Start with phrases such as, " I'm sorry to bother you, but. "or" Excuse me, but could you.?" For example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I ordered potato soup, not vegetable, "Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. 2Could you help me? I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it's cracked.”

3There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use

the phrase.“ I know this isn't your fault, but…”or“There has been a misunderstanding.” 4Blaming people isn’t as important as getting a problem fixed!

There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage of you. In that case, don’t say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me! "Instead, use the phrase, "I understood that.." For example. "I understood that the service charge was included in the price. Then give the person a chance to answer.

If you don't get what you want with polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. 5.

A. When trying to comet a problem, don’t blame (責(zé)備)the person you re talking to.

B. People like to be asked rather than told!

C. But usually, you'll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation.

D. These kinds of experiences make you want to complain.

E. These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation

Late at night, lying in their sleeping bags, they looked up at the cold black sky. They talked about the time they had camped in the past.
