解析:
1.B 考查写作目的。位于文章的开头,且又根据下文所讲述的内容:查理就是一个天生有 囊胞性纤维症的人,以及他是如何与疾病抗争并过着快乐生活,同时又用一部电影中的人物的故事讲述了生活态度的重要。故所设问题是为了吸引读的对话题的关注,故选B。
2.C 细节理解题。由Charley was fortunate to have many care- givers可知。A没有被提及。B与D与文章所述不符。
3.B 推理判断题。由第一段知Charley身患疾病但仍进其所能地为社会做贡献,因此他很幸福;从第二段知,一位患病的女孩没有让病痛控制她的生活,而且还得到了真爱。从而得知,虽身患疾病,但仍坚强,快乐的生活。故态度决定幸福。C虽正确但并非推论得出。
4.B 细节推理题。由第二段的In the movie JackandJillvs.theWorld, Jill is a 25-year-old girl who has just arrived in New York City.可知,故事发生在纽约市。
This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.
Littleton Children’s Home
We DON’T want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes IN GOOD CONDITION would be very welcome.
Also, we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much ─will you share it?
Phone Sister Thomas on 55671
Children’s Hospice
We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We cannot continue without gifts or money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need storybooks and toys suitable for quiet games.
Please contact the Secretary, Little Children’s Hospice, Newby Road.
Street Food
In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you offer a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we need some new saucepans(平底锅). Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.
Contact Street Food, c/o Mary’s House, Elming Way. Littleton Phone 27713
Littleton Youth Club
Have you got an unwanted chair? ─a record-player?─a pot of paint ? Because we can use them!
We want to get to work on our meeting room!

Thank you!
