2013高考英语二轮（文章题）训练（7）及答案
Mother Teresa, one of the most selfless and inspiring people of all time, once said that “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one. ” When it comes to charity, Mother Teresa is not a person I’m willing to disagree with. So, this year for Christmas, I’m giving a hat, scarf and gloves to one of the mitten trees for poor children at my office, but there are many other charities to choose from.
All sorts of organizations make it extremely easy to give to others during the holiday season. For example, many shops, dormitories and even some restaurants have Angel Trees set up, encouraging people to think of others less fortunate. To participate in an Angel Tree, simply pick out a piece of paper with the name and age of a child and purchase a present for him.
Here’s another idea for you. I hate giving gifts that people will never use, so I like to give donations in a person’s name. This is especially great for parents, who are traditionally difficult to shop for. You can make donations to almost any charity in this way.
If you don’t know to which charity to donate, try one of these. The Humane Society, which tries to find homes for stray（走失的）animals, has to buy medicine and food and give animals proper care. The Friendship Home of Lincoln is a safe place for women and children who are victims（受害者） of home violence to stay while they try to get back on their feet. If you’d like to help out in another part of the world, you might try giving through UNICEF, an organization helping children in all aspects of life around the world. UNICEF wants to provide every child with “health, education, equality and protection, ” and by donating your money to this cause, you could help children’s lives improve thoroughly.
29. According to Mother Teresa, _______.
A. you should donate all your money to help poor people
B. you had better buy some food instead of donating money to poor people
C. feeding one person is more important than feeding 100 persons
D. you only have to help one person to help the world
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa’s advice?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive.
C. Puzzling. D. Doubtful.
31. The underlined phrase “get back on their feet” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. cheer up again B. be stronger
C. run by themselves D. go home again
32. The author wrote the passage to _______.
A. call on people to help others during the holiday season
B. help us find a good charity to which we donate our money
C. tell us how to help children around the world
D. tell us what kind of person Mother Teresa is
【文章大意】帮助他人要从小处做起。那么如何帮助他人呢？可以向慈善机构捐款来帮助想要帮助的人。作者号召人们在圣诞节出一份力帮助他人。
29.【解析】选D。细节理解题。此题实际是考查对Mother Teresa在文章开头所说一句话的理解。这句话原意为“如果你不能解决一百个人的温饱问题，就解决一个人的温饱问题”，实际是说“帮助他人要从小处做起”，这正好与D项意思相同。
30.【解析】选B。观点态度题。根据第一段的“Mother Teresa is not a person I’m willing to disagree with”可知作者很同意。且此句后的So一词也能说明，作者不但感情上赞成，而且开始付诸行动了。B项意为“赞成的”，故为正确选项。圣母特雷莎是1979年诺贝尔和平奖的获得者。
31.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。通过援助，使遭受家庭暴力的妇女儿童重新振作起来。其实从这几个词的词面意思就可知是“重新站起来”。
32.【解析】选A。推理判断题。作者在文章开头以身说教，说明要帮助他人。然后说明如何帮助他人，可向哪些慈善机构捐款来帮助想要帮助的人。所有这些都是在号召人们在假期里出一份力帮助他人。帮助他人有多种途径，不一定非要捐款，故B项不正确。本文并非主要讲如何帮助全球儿童，作者只在文章最后一节提到一个可以帮助全球儿童的组织，其他的均没有，故C项不正确；D项更不是作者写此文意图。作者引用圣母特雷莎的话是说明她的建议是对的，号召我们帮助他人要从小处做起。
