Question

【題目】If you are given only 1 yuan, could you live in a city for one day? It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it.

On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.

To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually (逐漸地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.

Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.

Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt (酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.

【解析】教育青少年的慈善組織舉辦了“一元都市”的生存活動(dòng)。參與活動(dòng)的學(xué)生要利用所給的一元錢掙到更多的錢，有的學(xué)生作兼職工作；有的學(xué)生在公園或商場唱歌跳舞；有的畫畫或做手工，目的是把掙到的錢捐給西藏貧困的學(xué)校。通過這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，學(xué)生們體會(huì)到生活的艱辛。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks.可知，只給學(xué)生們一元錢，同時(shí)他們還必須處理很多艱巨的任務(wù)。故答案為B。

Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工).可知，為了掙到錢，有的學(xué)生作兼職工作；有的學(xué)生在公園或商場唱歌跳舞；有的畫畫或做手工，不包含A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was.”可知，通過這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，學(xué)生們體會(huì)到生活的艱辛。答案為B。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后面的句子“From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt(酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,”可知，參與活動(dòng)的學(xué)生去勸說不同的人去做事情，答案為D。
