UNIT 11 课时跟踪检测(五) 主题阅读拓展练 一、阅读理解限时练(限时25分钟) A In March 2019, when Sara Cook first got a letter in the mail telling her that someone had paid off part of her medical debt, she thought it was fake.“It seems like you have a long-lost uncle and you just inherited two million dollars，” Cook says. A remarkable nonprofit called RIP Medical Debt had indeed paid D|S5,000 toward her bills.The former nurse was deeply moved by the gesture.Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton do have good hearts, who have seen how health-related debt has destroyed lives.Since 2014, the men estimate they've spent about D|S20 million to pay off personal debts.Antico and Ashton get their money from individuals and charities that support RIP's mission. Don't bother contacting RIP for help, however.Antico says they used to let people reach out to them, but it was a disheartening experience because they weren't able to help everyone who applied.Instead, RIP researches potential recipients based on three rules.First, they look for people who make not more than two and a half times the amount established as the federal poverty level.Then they screen for those whose medical debt is equal to 5 percent or more of their income.Third, they look to see whether a person is insolvent (破产的)． For the people who do qualify, RIP's help is life-changing.“After their letter, I realized that my life really doesn't stink (糟糕)，” says Cook.“I may never be able to work as a nurse again, but I can sit at the school library and help kids read or serve up food in the soup kitchen.When people do something out of the kindness of their hearts, sometimes they may wonder whether it really makes a difference.I want people to know that this had a positive impact.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Cook受到RIP医疗债务机构的帮助后也努力帮助别人的故事。 1．What was Sara Cook's first feeling about the letter? A．Grateful.　　　　　　 B．Unbelievable. C．Confused. D．Lucky. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In March 2019, when Sara Cook first got a letter ... she thought it was fake.”可知，一开始Cook对于收到的邮
