Question

A little homeless girl stood crying near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was too crowded. “ I can’t go to Sunday school.” She cried to the priest (牧師) as he walked by. The priest took her inside. The child was very happy because they found a room for her. She went to bed that night thinking of the children who had no place to sleep or pray in.

Two years later, the girl died there. As her little body was being moved, a worn and red purse was found, which she had found in the rubbish. Inside the purse was 57cents and a note, written in childish handwriting, which read: “This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.”

After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion(熱愛) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it. It was read by a wealthy man who offered the church a piece of land worth many thousands of dollars. When told that the church could not pay much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girl’s gift had increased to $250,000. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, visit Temple Baptist Church, Temple University, and the Sunday school building. No child here is left outside on Sunday school days again. One of the rooms of the Sunday school building is hanged with the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents made such a remarkable and real history.

【解析】

試題分析：因為教堂里擠滿了無家可歸的孩子，小女孩被拒之門外，善良的牧師給她騰出了一間房。兩年后，可憐的小女孩去世了，牧師發(fā)現了她寫在紙上的話“用這57美分讓教堂變大一點，這樣就有更多的孩子就能來主日學校上課了”。小女孩的愛心得到了社會的回應，現在，已經沒有孩子無法上主日學校了。

1.This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.”可知，小女孩想把撿來的一點點錢用于幫助那些無家可歸的孩子上主日學校，說明她很同情無家可歸的孩子們，故選C。

2.Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girl’s gift had increased to $250,000.”可知，富人捐贈了一塊價值連城的土地，教堂用這塊土地換來了很多錢，A、C容易排除，根據第三段“After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion(熱愛) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it. It was read by a wealthy man”可知，如果沒有有愛心的牧師的宣傳，人們不可能知道這個小女孩的事跡，D項只提到了小女孩，有點片面，故選B。

3.visit Temple Baptist Church, Temple University, and the Sunday school building”可知，現在不僅有Sunday school，還有Temple Baptist Church和Temple University，排除C；根據第二段“Inside the purse was 57cents and a note...“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.””和第三段“he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. ...whose 57 cents made such a remarkable and real history”可知，故事發(fā)展的主線是善良小女孩的一個紅色錢包，里面有57美分，故選D。
