2."I think it's a great thing when I know it's going to help someone else."said l3-year-old Spencer Goldstein,after collecting hundreds of pieces of baseball equipment for kids who can not afford to buy their own.
Spencer collected the bats,balls,gloves,helmets and masks for his mitzvah(德行)project,which is a community service project that many Jewish kids do around their bar or bat mitzvahs(成人禮).A bar mitzvah is a ceremony for a boy while a bat mitzvah is intended for a girl.The ceremony means that you are old enough to take on a grown-up's responsibilities.
Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project after seeing the Ugandan national team at last year's Little League World Series.Some of the Ugandan players didn't even have their own gloves.And Spencer's donations are going to a group called"Pitch for Baseball"--a group that gives baseball equipment to kids in low-income communities around the world.
Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz also came up with a sports-related mitzvah project.The money they raised went to the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled.They raised at least $9,000--enough to pay for at least three wheelchairs made for playing basketball.
In Massachusetts,Abigail Miller decided to collect musical instruments for her mitzvah project.The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids who can't afford to buy them."I want to make sure everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,"Abigail said.Abigail collected more than three-dozen instruments--wind instruments,string instruments,keyboards,and even a drum set.
Whether it's playing sports,playing music or something else,kids such as Spencer,Mollie,Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the world for the better."They learned about generosity,''said Mollie's mother,Loft Schwartz,"and the power to make things happen".

C.when he found a group offering equipment to others
D.a(chǎn)fter he saw some players wearing no gloves
28.What do we know about Abigail Miller from the text?A
A.She helped many kids have fun with music through her efforts.

分析 本文介紹了在美國馬薩諸塞州一群年輕人在舉行成人禮時,了解到烏干達等地的運動員甚至連手套都沒有戴,以及其他的一些貧困孩子享受不到一些基本的生活樂趣和個人發(fā)展的保障,所以自發(fā)地組織了一項德行工程,為他們籌集一些錢物為他們實現(xiàn)自己的夢想和提高他們的生活質(zhì)量做出一定貢獻,這些活動也展現(xiàn)了他們的慷慨品質(zhì)和得到了家長等人的稱贊.

解答 BDADC
26.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)開頭一句"I think it's a great thing when I know it's going to help someone else."可知,在收集了這些棒球設(shè)備后 Spencer是感到比較自豪的,故選B.
27.D.細節(jié)理解題.由第二段開頭Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project after seeing the Ugandan national team以及第二句Some of the Ugandan players didn't even have their own gloves.可知,她是在了解到烏干達運動員甚至沒有自己的手套后開始收集棒球設(shè)備,故選D.
28.A.歸納判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"I want to make sure everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,"Abigail said.一句可知,這與A項的描述是相吻合的;本段沒有提到與B項相關(guān)聯(lián)的想法,他只是更想讓孩子們享受到音樂帶給他們的快樂,排除B項.該段段第二句The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids可知他是他收集來的物品捐贈給相應(yīng)機構(gòu),而不是直接送給孩子們,所以,排除C;由第四段開頭一句可知,給殘疾孩子捐贈物品的是Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz,而不是Abigail Miller,排除D.故選A.
29.D.推理判斷題.由最后一段Whether it's playing sports,playing music or something else,kids such as Spencer,Mollie,Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the world for the better.可知,這些物品并非都是與體育項目有關(guān),還有音樂或者其他的相關(guān)內(nèi)容,所以,選擇D.
30.C.歸納總結(jié)題.由最后一段Miller 的媽媽一句話"They learned about generosity,''可知,這些孩子在這一得行工程中都表現(xiàn)出了極大的慷慨;故選C.

點評 本題考查的是一篇故事類的閱讀理解,首先要通讀全文,了解文章大意及文化背景、社會習(xí)俗,緊緊抓住整篇故事所提供的信息,熟悉題干和選項,然后根據(jù)語境逐一選出答案,最后再通讀檢查一遍,看所選答案是否和原文意思一致,對于歸納判斷題要通讀相應(yīng)的內(nèi)容來找出每個選項所表達的不同觀點是否符合文意等.
