Then Klein started the non-profit group Loved Twice to collect 9 of gently used baby clothes for distribution to shelters.

【解析】

【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。Klein在偶然看到一所教堂为飓风受灾者收集婴儿衣物的消息后深受启发,号召身边的好友共同行动起来帮助他人,并建立了Loved Twice,从而把爱和帮助他人的意识传播开来。

【1】根据语境,尤其是下文的"but Klein has a larger aim…"可知,此处表示对大多数父母来说,叠衣服是非常普通的事儿。routine"普通的,日常的"符合语境。practical"实际的,务实的";accessible"容易理解的,可见到的";favorable"有利的"。

【2】根据下文的内容可知,此处指Klein在给处于困难中(in need)的妈妈们找婴儿服装。倒数第二段中的 "in trouble"也是提示。in shape"健康状况良好";in debt"欠债";in danger"处于危险中"。考生易误选C项。根据下文的"after a hurricane"和"she read a church was asking for baby clothes for families who camped out on the church’s front lawn"可知,此处应是表示飓风过后,人们所需的物资匮乏的状 态,而in danger意为"处于危险中",明显不适合描述物资匮乏的状态,故in need"处于困难中"符合语境。

【3】when"当……时"在此引导时间状语从句。

【4】根据上文的"after a hurricane"和下文的"who camped out on the church’s front lawn"可知,此处应是表示无家可归的(homeless)家庭。immediate"最接近的",immediate family"直系亲属";traditional"传统的";starving"饥饿的"。

【5】根据语境可知,此处表示Klein把这个消息传播(spread)给了她的朋友们。distribute"分发";contribute" 贡献";offer"提供"。

【6】几天内,200磅重的物品堆积在她家的门廊上,准备好(ready)被运送。worthwhile"值得做的"。

【7】此处指"如果那是我在四天的时间内和几个朋友就能做到的事情,倘若我全力以赴去做会怎么样呢"。故用If引导条件状语从句。

【8】上文提到Klein在短短几天的时间里就从几个朋友那里收集到了很多衣服,故此处表示"倘若我全力 以赴去做会怎么样呢",be devoted to"专心致志于,全力以赴",与上文的"what I can do in four days with a few friends"作对比。be addicted to"对……上瘾";be opposed to"反对";be accustomed to"适应"。

【9】根据上下文,尤其是下文的"gently used baby clothes for distribution to shelters"可知,此处应是表示 Loved Twice为避难所筹集八成新的婴儿服装作为捐赠物(donations)。treasure"珍宝";material"材料";information"信息"。

【10】根据上下文语境可知,此处表示Loved Twice努力缓解(relieve)抚养孩子的经济压力,希望能给予妈妈们更多的时间和她们的孩子相处。resist"抵抗,抵制";rid"清除"。考生易误选D项。rid意为"清除 ",而一个慈善组织给婴儿们捐赠衣服显然是不可能把抚养孩子的经济压力完全清除掉的,只能是缓 解部分压力,故可排除D项。

【11】参见上题解析。connect with"和……相处/沟通"。negotiate with"与……协商";cope with"应付,处理";reason with"说服"。

【12】此处表示帮助(assisting)新手妈妈的社会服务机构。defend"保护";employ"雇用";recommend"推荐"。

【13】根据上文的"The group’s collection bins always fill up quickly"和下文的"roughly 1,000 pounds of clothing in Klein’s basement every month"可知,此处应是指这个组织每个月都能成功获得(landing) 大约1 000磅重的衣服。adopt"采用";invest"投资";produce"生产,制造"。

【14】根据下文的"the clothing into boxes carefully…"可知,此处表示志愿者们会把筹集到的衣服仔细地分 类(sort)装箱。absorb"吸收"。

【15】根据下文的"from zero to twelve months"可知,此处应该是指所捐赠的婴儿服装的型号(size)。

【16】 根据下文的"over 28,000 pounds of clothing to newborns in trouble"可知,此处表示Klein的团队已经向处于困境中的新生儿递送了(delivered)超过28 000磅重的衣服。transmit"传播";transfer"转移";lead" 引导"。

【17】根据语境及第一段中的"a larger aim"可知,此处应是表示她的新目标(purpose)是筹集足够的钱租一 间仓库,使得她能够处理更多的衣服。responsibility"责任";achievement"成就";mission"任务"。

【18】参见上题解析。allow"使有可能"符合语境。demand"要求";persuade"劝说";force"迫使"。

【19】因此绝对不要低估你的行动的力量(power)。motivation"动机";advantage"优势";result"结果"。

【20】 此处为文章的升华,表示凭借小小的行动,你不仅可以传播爱和(帮助他人的)意识,而且可以积极地 (positively)影响他人的生活。accurately"准确地";casually"随意地";occasionally"偶然地"。

【题目】B

The rumor proved all too bitterly true: Park’s Hardware, a downtown institution of Orono for over 100 years, would be closing. Locals cross-examined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but in vain. Running a small, local, family-owned hardware business was no longer profit-making. The town’s affection for Park’s Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.

I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Park’s as, day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from "20% OFF EVERYTHING" to "30%", "40%", and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets (插座)and doorknobs.

Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Park’s didn’t carry. I found the thing, but didn’t understand the following note on the package: "Red light indicates condition of the battery." "Excuse me," I said to a clerk, holding the item out, "I can’t seem to find the red light." The man examined it, and said, "Neither can I." I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Park’s. "Lin," I’d beg. "Can you ... please ...I don’t know ... do you think...?" And quicker than one could say, "little red light," Lin would spring into action and together we’d sit down to find the solution.

I could buy a single screw(螺丝钉) at Park’s. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a span>box of a hundred screws. But I don’t want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light, and now that Park’s is gone, I realize that I never will.

【1】 Why did Park’s decide to stop its business?

A. The owner invested in other business.

B. The owner couldn’t make enough money.

C. Its location was not convenient for shopping.

D. It couldn’t win enough affection from the locals.

【2】What did Park’s do before closing?

A. It had a closing down sale. B. It struggled for its reorganization.

C. It distributed its goods to regulars. D. It looked for a new owner.

【3】What does the writer’s experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?

A. The benefit of having more choices.

B. The pressure of competition for Park’s.

C. The good service of Park’s.

D. The responsible working attitude of large stores.

【4】What’s the writer’s tone in writing this passage?

A. Humorous. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Regretful.

Although most parents don’t like doing it after a long and exhausting workday, reading bedtime stories does make a positive influence on your child’s emotional and mental health. 1
