题目内容
【题目】After his Master Chef Junior run, 12-year-old Evan Robinson is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico(波多黎各). The TV show winner wanted to offer help after hurricanes(飓风)hit the country last September.
I’ve been seeing, all over the news, people lived too hard,”Evan said.“They can’t get fresh water, electricity. They can’t get really anything. I know I’m just a kid, but I think if a lot of people do something, a lot of things will get better.”
He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade pies. He started cooking on a recent Friday night. By the next Sunday evening, he had filled orders for 420 pies—roasted chicken, cheeseburger and vegetarian—getting $18 for six pies and $30 for a dozen.
For Evan’s out-of-town friends and supporters, he has also set up a crowdfunding(众筹)page. Through it, he’s already raised $1,500 in“virtual(虚拟的)pies”. He said fruit pies are up next.
His mom, Veronica Robinson, is in charge of delivering the pies around the city.“We’ve never done anything like this before,”she said.“But it’s a great idea, so I want to help him.”
His baking will continue as well. This is because he heard on the news that it would take Puerto Rico years, maybe even 10 years, to recover(恢复)from the hurricanes.
It’s not an easy job, especially for a kid with homework and Boy Scouts and friendships to tend to. But he doesn’t seem worried.“It’s what we’re supposed to do,”he said.“I’m a human. They’re humans. Why shouldn’t help them?”

【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了12岁的Evan是一个电视节目的获胜者,他会烘焙,自制馅饼。当他听说波多黎各遭受了飓风的袭击之后,就开始通过在线订购自制馅饼的方式来筹集资金帮助那里的人们。
【1】根据短文开头After his Master Chef Junior run, 12-year-old Evan Robinson is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico(波多黎各). The TV show winner wanted to…可知,这里的The TV show winner指代的就是12岁的Evan Robinson,所以这个题目的答案是肯定的。
【2】根据短文第一段中The TV show winner wanted to offer help after hurricanes(飓风)hit the country last September.可知,去年九月波多黎各遭受了飓风的袭击。答语中应用被动语态was hit by hurricanes。
【3】根据短文第三段中He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade pies.可知,他是通过烘烤食物和接受在线订购自制馅饼这样的方式来筹集资金。答案在这一句话中从by后开始回答就行。
【4】根据短文第四段中His mom, Veronica Robinson, is in charge of delivering the pies around the city.可知,Evan的妈妈负责在全城送馅饼,由此可知答案。
【5】根据短文第五段中His baking will continue as well. This is because he heard on the news that it would take Puerto Rico years, maybe even 10 years, to recover(恢复)from the hurricanes.可知,Evan的烘焙会继续下去,因为他在新闻中听说波多黎各要花费很多年,可能甚至10年的时间才能从飓风造成的损害中恢复。由此可知答案。
【6】这个问题是一个开放性的问题,题意是:你想成为一个像Evan那样的人吗?除了捐钱,你还可以做些什么来帮助穷人?首先我们应先回答Yes,然后在想想我们还可以做些什么,例如参加志愿者组织,只要答案符合题意,表达准确即可。
