17.While others look away from trouble,this lady digs in and gets to work.
Gretchen Buchenholz,the native New Yorker and mother of six,has worked on behalf of needy and marginalized families for years in the city.She does everything from buy groceries for homeless families to start schools for children.In 1974 she founded Merricat's Castle,a nursery school that opened its doors to kids of all racial and economic backgrounds,the able-bodied as well as those with disabilities or terminal illnesses.
She founded the Association to Benefit Children (ABC),the nonprofit group,some 20years ago.The story of how she started ABC is pretty amazing.In 1984 she was on her way to a government office to get a day-care permit when,by accident,she entered a room where homeless families were waiting to be placed in a"welfare hotel."She saw three bare cribs (嬰兒床) with babies lying in them.The children wore no diapers (their parents couldn't afford them),and the room was filthy (不整潔).After talking to the parents and learning that they and their children were hungry,Gretchen marched out and bought bread,peanut butter,apple juice and diapers.Then she started making phone calls.She dialed the American Red Cross,City Hall and The New York Times.
Gretchen has made many people see that we need to recognize these children are not different from our own,and we need to join in and help.Too often,people look away from suffering. But she sets us an example that we should gain strength to do something about it.

53.She went to the government officeD.
A.to help those homeless people in the room
B.to apply for a permit for ABC
C.to call on the government to help those homeless children
D.to get permission to look after babies during the day
54.By"But she sets us an example that we should gain strength to do something about it.",the  author meansD.
A.Gretchen Buchenholz is a respectable woman
B.we should set up such organizations as the ABC to help those poor children
C.Gretchen Buchenholz gives us the strength to face suffering in life
D.we should do our bits to help those poor children
55.The children wore no diapers becauseC.
A.they had no parents
B.their parents were waiting for the government's help
C.their parents had no money to buy diapers
D.Gretchen Buchenholz would buy diapers for them
56.We can infer from the passage that Gretchen BuchenholzC.
A.called up City Hall to get help for those homeless people
B.moved to New York at a young age
C.treats the children equally whether they are normal or disabled
D.starts schools for those homeless children.

分析 本文屬于人物故事類閱讀,主要向我們介紹了Gretchen Buchenholz,她創(chuàng)辦了一個(gè)幼兒園,平等的對待所有的孩子,不論他們是健康的還是殘疾的,她給我們做出了榜樣,讓我們盡自己的力量做一些幫助孩子們的事.

解答 53.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)In 1984 she was on her way to a government office to get a day-care permit when,by accident,she entered a room where homeless families were waiting to be placed in a"welfare hotel."可知她去政府辦公室是為了得到能白天照顧嬰兒的許可,故選D.
54.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)Gretchen has made many people see that we need to recognize these children are not different from our own,and we need to join in and help.Too often,people look away from suffering. But she sets us an example that we should gain strength to do something about it.可知作者是想讓我們盡我們的力量去幫助那些貧窮的孩子,故選D.
55.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)The children wore no diapers (their parents couldn't afford them),可知孩子們不穿尿布是因?yàn)樗麄兊母改纲I不起,故選C.
56.C  理解推斷題,根據(jù)In 1974 she founded Merricat's Castle,a nursery school that opened its doors to kids of all racial and economic backgrounds,the able-bodied as well as those with disabilities or terminal illnesses.可知Gretchen Buchenholz不論孩子們是健康的還是殘疾的都公平的對待他們,故選C.

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

5.The"Clean Your Plate"campaign was started by nongovernmental organizations and activists,which urged people to save food by not wasting anything on the dining table.The campaign,launched on Weibo,was soon joined by millions of netizens across China to fight against food waste.

In some restaurants there are signs reminding the diners not to waste food.Some even offer awards to the customers who eat all their food,as part of the campaign to reduce waste.More and more restaurants kindly remind and encourage customers to take their leftovers away.

When some people started the"Clean Your Plate"campaign in an effort to reduce food waste,millions of netizens joined it and more and more people are taking real action to prevent food waste.
I'm quite delighted by this campaign.As far as I know,while people in advanced countries don't have to worry about their meals,millions of people in some poor areas are suffering from hunger every day.Though most Chinese have enough food to eat,there are still some others who are struggling hard for a little food to fill their stomach.Unfortunately,I can always see people leave a large part of their food on their plate and throw it as waste.It is reported that every year the Chinese altogether waste 50 million tons of food,which is enough to feed 200 million people for a whole year.What an alarming waste it is!We should feel guilty to waste so much food.
It is high time for us to stop such waste.There is every reason for us to clean our plates at our meals.If all people take action to cut down food waste,a large quantity of food can be saved and more people will be fed.
The"Clean Your Plate"campaign is really good and useful.Let's join in and eat up our meals instead of wasting any food..
