试题分析:本文介绍了大学生做志愿者帮助他人并从中学会了很多的故事。
小题1:D  take only two classes只上两节课。
小题2:B上文提到I wasn’t working that summer and taking only two classes in summer school,据此判断free time“空闲时间”切题。
小题3:A根据下文所述,应选A项,意为“帮忙(做饭)”。D项“洗刷”不确切。
小题4:C cook hot meals for 45 people意为“为45口人做热腾腾的饭”。ordered和bought虽用法上正确,但与上文提到的help in the kitchen不相符。
小题5:A with“具有,配有”,with短语作meal的定语。
小题6:B作者对这些“无家可归者”持同情态度,应选B项,即“需要食用这样丰盛的饭菜”,否则前后不吻合。
小题7:D从very nice, talked to a lot of… 等来看,作者应该是“喜欢自己的义务工作”。
小题8:C根据下文nice elderly housewife以及like me等判断,作者与另外四位志愿者关系融洽,故选择C项。require此处意为“需要”。
小题9:B从上文taking only two classes in summer school判断,作者身份为大学生,故选择B项。
小题10:B fill me with sympathy使我充满了同情之心。provide sb. with sth.“供应某人某物”,含义不妥。
小题11:D从下文others only had bad… 来分析,此处为“有些人存有嗜酒、吸毒问题”。habit通常与of搭配。
小题12:A从下面所举事例可知答案。
小题13:C so和thus表因果关系,again表动作重复发生,均不合题意。then在此表示前后动作先后发生,正合题意。
小题14:D前句提到lost her job,故选D项。
小题15:A从One woman worked for almost 30 years可知答案。
小题16:C so that表目的,could为重要标志。for fear“以免”,文意不通。
小题17:Ago on job hunting意为“继续找工作”,切合题意。
小题18:Bstill“仍然,依然”,句意通顺。
小题19:Dflat意为“公寓”,另外三项不符合这位妇女当时所处的情况。
小题20:Aafraid与alone, homeless相匹配。
点评:介绍了大学生做志愿者帮助他人并从中学会了很多的故事。答题前一定要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯。

The most frightening words in the English language are “our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down at the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s right, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down, it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said, “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I can’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington.” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the desk screen. “Only IT knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
小题1:The word “down” in the sentence ‘Our computer is down.’ means _____________.
A.fallingB.downcastC.dropD.dead
小题2:The best title of the article is _________.
A.Asking the Computer
B.The Computer of the Airport
C.The Most Frightening Words
D.When the Computer Is Down
小题3:What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?
A.She could answer the passengers’ questions
B.She could do nothing.
C.She could sell a ticket.
D.She could write out a ticket.

12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. "I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born," he told Good Morning America. "When I was very little," he said, "my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours."
When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great.

That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. "It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just fun," he said. "It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.
Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train —but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. "He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train," his mother said.
