20．Last August，I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo，a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate（整修） a community centre．During my stay there，I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact（互动） and work with local children，and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day，all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life．
One young boy in particular，Javier，16，stood out for me．Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U．S．，and the family had not heard from him since．This put his mother in a difficult position，stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income．In the end she decided to move to another province to find work．Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house．Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations．
As our last day approached，I remember the look in Javier's eyes，as they welled up（涌出）with tears when we told him we were leaving．One of the volunteers held him close，but it did little to console him．He had already experienced so much loss，his father abandoning him，his mother leaving to find work，and it was hard to realize that our departure（离开）was adding to the list．
As I looked beyond Javier，I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to，depended on，and gathered strength from．I did know that without parents to raise him，he was not left alone．Instead，the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young．
21．Which of the following statement is TRUE？B
A．Javier established good relationship with the author and his team．
B．Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks．
C．Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo．
D．Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy．
22．We can replace the underlined word"console"in the third paragraph withC．
A．affect
B．inspire
C．comfort
D．protect
23．According to the author，what plays an important part in the growth of Javier？C
A．The united effort from the whole global village．
B．The good quality from the foreign volunteers．
C．The great care from the adults in his community．
D．The positive support from some of his family．
分析 本文讲的是作者在Tres de Mayo社区做志愿者的所见及感想，作者在看见孤苦伶仃的Javier，他感到很同情，这个社区的孩子的境遇相同都是无依无靠的．
解答 21．B．推理判断题．根据文章第二段"Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U．S．，and the family had not heard from him since．This put his mother in a difficult position，stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income"可知Javier面临许多挑战，使他面临一些风险；故选B．
22．C．词义猜测题．affect 影响；感染 Comfort安慰inspire 激发，鼓舞．Protect保护．文中第四段中because he had already experienced so much loss，因为他已经失去太多了，所以我们的行为并不能安慰到他．Console 安慰；慰藉．故选C．
23．C．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段：Instead，the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young相反，社区里的成年人应该承担起照顾他们集体年轻人的责任．；可知在他的社区里深受大人的关怀在哈维尔的成长中起着重要的作用；故选C．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
