18.A precious little girl in New York with burns over 75percent of her body has only one wish for Christmas this year:enough Christmas cards to fill her aunt's card tree.
Two years ago,Safyre Terry lost her father and three younger siblings in a fire someone lit in the upstairs stairwell leading to her family's apartment.Safyre was found next to her father,who used his body to shield her from the flames.In addition to suffering from severe burns,Safyre lost her right hand and left foot.She underwent more than 50surgeries to graft (種植) skin over her burns.
Since her mother had signed over custodial rights (監(jiān)護權(quán)) to the state,Liz Dolder,Safyre's aunt,petitioned (請愿) the courts to become her guardian."Safyre lost everything--her father,her mother.her sister,her brothers,her home,her favorite toy,her favorite outfit-everything that was familiar to her,"Dolder told TODAY."She even lost the one thing we all take for granted-her reflection.But she wakes every morning with a smile on her face.She is the true definition of hope,faith and love."
Dolder told Buzzfeed she bought a tree to hang Christmas cards on this year,and Safyre instantly got excited:"She said‘I can't wait to fill it up'and my response was‘Honey,that's probably not gonna happen.We maybe get 10cards a year,and the card tree holds 100."
After Dolder shared a photo of Safyre next to the tree with her Facebook community,a supporter of the family,Kevin Clark,asked for permission to share the photo,along with an address where people could mail cards and fulfill Safyre's Christmas wish.The request took off on social media.Many cards have already started to come in.

分析 本文是一篇記敘文.講述了一個小女孩Safyre Terry 在大火中失去了親人,身體也燒傷,但是仍然樂觀,她希望圣誕節(jié)姑姑的圣誕樹可以掛滿圣誕卡片,于是網(wǎng)友一起幫她實現(xiàn)愿望.
解答 24.C.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第二段中的"Sayre was found next to her father,who used his body to shield her from the flames."可知父親是為了保護女兒犧牲了自己.由此可推知答案為C.
25.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中的"she even lost the one thing we all take for granted-her reflection.But she wakes every morning with a smile on her face."可以看出女孩非常樂觀.由此可推知答案為B.
26.D.標題歸納題.文中第一段提出,小女孩希望能讓姑姑的圣誕樹掛滿卡片,而且第四段、第五段也講述她的愿望以及眾人幫她實現(xiàn)愿望.由此可推知答案為D.
27.C.細節(jié)理解題.從文中第三段"Since her mother had signed over custodial rights to the state,Liz Dolder,Safyre's aunt,petitioned the courts to become her guardian."可以看出因為女孩的母親把對女孩的監(jiān)護權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)交給了州政府,所以女孩的姑姑申請成為女孩的監(jiān)護人.由此可推知答案為C.
