题目内容
There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用)coffee”. There,you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one,so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee.
Now,this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (写导势 的) than us. On the other hand,some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also,how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?
This is really a trust issue. In fact,it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.
But all in all,hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.

导读本文以意大利传统的“待用咖啡”和在中国悄然兴起的 “待用快餐”这两种慈善活动为事例,分析了我们是否应相信那些需要帮助的人。
详析
1. C细节理解题。由第一段首句“There is an old Italian tradition called ‘ suspended coffee’可知,“待用咖啡” 这项活动是意大利传统的慈善活动。
2. D推理判断题。由第一段最后—句“This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee. ”可知,那些没钱的人就可 以通过这项活动品尝咖啡。句中no-money people与D 选项的the poor是同一类人。
3. B细节理解题。细读第二段On the other hand...后面的分析可知,人们参与“待用快餐”活动,主要担心两件 事:一是担心有人占小便宜骗吃一顿饭,另一个担心就 是老板会不会按照约定发放食物。故选B.
4. B词义猜测题。画线短语下文中,分析了“待用快餐”这项慈善活动会有两种效果,一个就是实实在在地帮助 了那些有困难的人们,另一个结果就是有些人借此骗 吃骗喝、不劳而获。这一段分析的是诚信问题。故 trust issue应理解为“诚信问题”,选B.
5. C推理判断题。本文作者从正反两个方面分析了活动的利和弊,最后提出了自己的主张,那就是“要相信他们, 把好事做下去”。
障碍句分析
They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch.
他们不知道带走饭菜的这些人是真的很需要帮助,还是只为了找一份免费的午餐
这是一个复合句。
if意为“是否”,作连词,连接的是宾 语从句。宾语从句中,taking the meals是分词短语作后置定 语,修饰people ,意为“拿走快餐的人们”。
