　　【主旨大意】作者周末帶孩子去超市，路上遇到了一位尋求支援的失業者，本不富有的作者決定鼓動孩子們去幫助他。這一經歷不僅讓被幫助的人十分感激，而且也讓孩子們嘗到了幫助他人的甜蜜滋味。

　　1．【答案】A

　　【解析】句意為：在路上，我們注意到一名男子握著一張紙，紙上寫道：“失業，需要養家”。根據“Family to feed.”及下文可知，這個人是失業的狀態。“lose one's job”意為“失業”，本句是I've lost my job.的省略表達。故選A項。

　　2．【答案】C

　　【解析】句意為：在這家商店(門前)，像這樣的場景并不常見。condition意為“狀況”；place意為“地方”；sight意為“景象；場景；視力”；show意為“表演；展覽”。根據空格后面的“like this”可知，該空是指上文描述的場景。故選C項。

　　3．【答案】B

　　【解析】句意為：“我”10歲的孩子注意到他，并評論說站在外面的寒風里一定很糟糕。根據空格后面的“how bad it must be to have to stand…”可知，此處是孩子在表達自己對這一場景的看法，make a comment on…意為“對……作出評論”。故選B項。

　　4．【答案】A

　　【解析】根據空格后面的“in the cold wind”可知，這個人應該是站在外面。proudly意為“自豪地”，stand by意為“袖手旁觀”，angrily意為“生氣地”，均不符合語境。故選A項。

　　5．【答案】D

　　【解析】句意為：在商店里，“我”讓“我”的每個孩子挑選一些他們認為“我們”的朋友可能會感激的東西。根據下文“They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice.”可知，孩子們在商店里挑選了一些禮物，pick意為“挑選”，符合語境。故選D項。

　　6．【答案】C

　　【解析】order意為“命令；訂購”；supply意為“提供”；appreciate意為“感激；欣賞”；discover意為“發現”。分析句子結構可知，“they thought our “friend” there would…是定語從句，修飾something。作者期待孩子們挑選的禮物能幫到那名失業男子，appreciate符合語境，故選C項。

　　7．【答案】D

　　【解析】句意為：然后“我”17歲的孩子建議送給他一張代金卡。根據下一段第二句中“When I handed him the gift card…”可知此處選gift card，為原詞復現。故選D項。

　　8．【答案】B

　　【解析】句意為：“我們”自己的現金也快用光了，但是……。根據下一句可知作者一家的生活也不富有。be/get/run low on sth.為固定用法，意為“幾乎用完了某物，缺乏某物”，符合句意。故選B項。

　　9．【答案】A

　　【解析】句意為：有時候，“我們”需要做的恰恰是把“我們”不充足的東西給予他人，而非“我們”大量擁有的東西！本文主題是為他人提供幫助，故選A項，意為“給予”。

　　10．【答案】D

　　【解析】句意見上一題解析。yet意為“還；但是”；even意為“甚至”；still意為“仍然，依然”；just意為“正好，恰好”。故選D項。

　　11．【答案】A

　　【解析】句意為：孩子們都表明他們能夠放棄一些這周(想買)的東西。雖不富有，但是為了幫助他人，孩子們愿意放棄自己原本想要的東西。declare意為“表明；聲稱”；share意為“分享”；ignore意為“忽視”；expect意為“期望；期盼”。故選A項。

　　12．【答案】C

　　【解析】根據上文的“apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice”可知，此處說的是食物，故選C項。

　　13．【答案】B

　　【解析】sleepy意為“困乏的；欲睡的”；watery意為“含水的；(眼睛)淚汪汪的”；curious意為“好奇的”；sharp意為“急劇的；鋒利的”。根據語境可知，失業男子對于作者一家給予的幫助應該是非常感激的，所以道謝時眼含熱淚，故選B項。

　　14．【答案】B

　　【解析】句意為：當“我”把代金卡遞給他，告訴他可以用它買任何他家人可能需要的東西時，他突然大哭起來。分析句子結構可知， “his family might need”為介詞for的賓語從句，從句中缺少指物的賓語，且沒有限定范圍，故選B項，whatever意為“無論什么”。

　　15．【答案】A

　　【解析】句意為：對于“我們”一家來說，這是一次美妙的經歷。experience意為“經歷”；example意為“例子”；message意為“信息”；adventure意為“冒險”。根據句意可知選A項。

　　16．【答案】D

　　【解析】句意為：數天以來，孩子們一直在尋找其他“我們”能夠幫助的人！rely on意為“依靠”；respect意為“尊重”；learn from意為“向……學習”；help意為“幫助”。上文描述了孩子們幫助了那位失業者的經歷，受這次經歷的影響，他們想要繼續幫助其他人，故選D項。

　　17．【答案】C

　　【解析】句意為：如果“我”當時只是說，“不行，我們真的沒有更多的錢給別人”，那么事情的結果就會大不相同。suddenly意為“突然”；vividly意為“生動地”；differently意為“不同地”；perfectly意為“完美地”。本句用了虛擬語氣的表達，作者假設自己當初如果作出不一樣的反應，事情的結果可能會很不一樣。根據句意可知選C項。

　　18．【答案】D

　　【解析】作者描述的經歷是給失業者經濟上的幫助，結合上文中“We low were on cash ourselves…”可知此處表示“我們”真的沒有更多的錢給別人。故選D項。

　　19．【答案】C

　　【解析】句意為：邁出一步不僅幫助了一位需要幫助的兄弟，同時也讓“我”的孩子們品嘗到了幫助他人的甘甜。根據整篇語境可以推斷出，此處指幫助那些有困難的人，in need意為“需要幫助的”，符合語境。故選C項。

　　20．【答案】B

　　【解析】句意見上一題解析。strong意為“強壯的”；sweet意為“甜蜜的”；strange意為“奇怪的”；simple意為“簡單的”。根據句意可以推斷出選B項。

　　(2024陜西，D)

　　Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement,_including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.

　　The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting (養育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.

　　Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice.”

　　Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.In general, about 20%of parental involvement was positive, about 45%negative and the rest statistically insignificant.

　　Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”， admitted Robinson.But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved.They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”
