Question

【題目】 In the summer of 2015, Christian Moyer was just another teenager busy preparing for the SAT when he was faced with a question that he couldn’t answer. It had nothing to do with reading, writing or math. Anyhow, it has everything to do with life.

“We were looking at this part about the college writing, and one of the ideas was, ‘Tell us about a difficult situation you have had in life and how you got it over,”’ said Christian, now a 17-year-old student at University City High School. “And I realized how lucky I was not to have any problems in life.”

That is when the answer came through loud and clear. The idea for what to do next came from “Barefoot(光腳) Sunday”, a church event that asks members to wear new or gently used shoes to a service and leave them behind. The shoes are then donated(捐贈(zèng)) to the charity that help people start over - people who are homeless and poor. Christian decided to start collecting shoes for the San Diego Rescue Mission, one of the “Barefoot Sunday” charities.

Then Christian got a tour to the downtown, there he saw some people would wear the same pair of shoes until there were no bottoms or tops on them. He thought what he did would really make a big difference for them.

Christians started collecting shoes last fall. He hit up friends, neighbors and family members for donations. He posted a note on an online social network. His family members put a box in front of their house for easy drop-off. Since starting his shoe drive, Christian has collected 160 pairs. Donating and collecting shoes have given him the kind of feel-good payback.

“Most people are pretty happy to give,” Christians said. “It’s nice because it makes them realize how many shoes they have that they don’t wear, and it probably makes them feel as good as it makes me feel.”

【4】A

【解析】

本文講述的是Christian在準(zhǔn)備SAT考試，遇到一個(gè)作文題目，讓他想起自己參與的“Barefoot Sunday”活動(dòng)，為沒有鞋子穿的窮人募捐鞋子的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段“It had nothing to do with reading, writing or math. Anyhow, it has everything to do with life”可知，和讀、寫、數(shù)學(xué)無關(guān)，和生活有關(guān)。ABC所提及都是和學(xué)科、寫作相關(guān)，故選D。

【2】推理判斷。第一段“busy preparing for the SAT when he was faced with a problem he couldn’t answer.”當(dāng)他面對一個(gè)他無法回答的問題時(shí)，他正忙著準(zhǔn)備SAT考試。對應(yīng)序號2； 第三段第一句“That is when the answer came through loud and clear. The idea for what to do next came from Barefoot Sunday.” 對應(yīng)序號3；第四段第一句話“Then Christian got a tour to the downtown……”然后克里斯蒂安去了市區(qū)對應(yīng)序號4；第五段 “His family members put a box in front of their house for easy drop-off.” 他的家人在家門口放了一個(gè)盒子，方便下車。對應(yīng)序號1，故選D。

【3】推理判斷。文章講述的是Christian收集鞋子給沒有鞋穿的人，且根據(jù)文章最后一段的句子“and it probably makes them feel as good as it makes me feel.”幫助他人讓他人開心，我自己也會(huì)感到開心，與C選項(xiàng)意思相符，所以答案為C。故選C

【4】標(biāo)題歸納。本文講的是Christian參與的“Barefoot Sundy”活動(dòng)，為沒有鞋子穿的窮人募捐鞋子的故事， A項(xiàng)給窮人鞋子是有意義的，符合文意。故選A。
