题目内容
6.On the 15th of each month,a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland,is packed with volunteers.Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that _________ by students,parents and teachers from each classroom.Then,the children check to make sure the food isn't too old.After that,they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community."I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善),"says Julie Rosenthal,who started the non-profit program six years ago."And I wanted to teach other kids in the community,too."
Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month,when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made.
"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably,"says Linda Testerman,a food receiver."
"It was really fun,it was great to make the senior citizens happy,"says Campbell."It was really cool."
Sofia Merkowitz,another Food on the 15th volunteer,agrees."I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food."
Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.
"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life,a positive difference."
The program started with one school delivering 30bags of groceries. It has grown each year,and now involves 10 schools and several churches.Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000bags so far.Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world.

76 封闭型问题.文章在第一段提到了在这一慈善活动中学生对于食物要做的事情:collect food,check to make sure the food isn't too old.…sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community.由于字数限制,在填写答案时要注意提炼、改写,尤其是第③④两个要点.
77 信息补全题.这里指的是被志愿者捐赠的食物,that指代的是先行词food,所以用被动语态,强调的是结果,所以用完成时.
78 封闭型问题.由第二段Julie Rosenthal所说的话可以看出,她发起这一活动的目的就是想让自己的孩子还有社区里其他的孩子学习一些关于慈善.如果上不留意,答案中就会遗漏"other kids".
79 句子翻译题. 在翻译时要注意,主语it指代的是上文所说的"The program",同时还要注意多义词"involve"在句中的具体意思:牵涉,涉及,然后根据具体语境灵活翻译.
80 开放型问题. 答案不唯一. 根据文意合理作答,回答形式和内容要与问题一致.

Homonym:a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world,but a different meaning Same spelling,different meaning Imagine,then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way,but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take,for example,the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival,and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game. Don't take it literally So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context.Obviously,if someone asks you to‘give them a hand',they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm. What's in a name? Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun: I used to be a banker,but I lost interest. Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils? A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'. More ambiguity And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb: I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me. No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. Double trouble And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb,but have different meanings.Can you work this one out? Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana. If you like these homonyms,you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more! Explanations of jokes in the text I used to be banker,but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job/I lost money) Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?(students/parts of his eyes) A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.(no difference in the situation/no money) I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me/I suddenly realized) No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known/fell out) A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork) Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fuit.) |
