话题:停车场停车
The client crises in my socialwork job always multiplied during the holidays.As I drove through the darkness that rainy December night, I shelved my worry and focused on our December events.
The parking lot was full.Everyone in our small Arkansas town must have turned out for the Christmas program.Our second grader son Jon should have joined his class inside the gym by now, but I was running late.Jim and Michael, our fifth graders, were warm and dry inside.
While Jon played with a toy in the back seat, I drove once more through the parking lot.Then I saw, through the downpour, the narrow area of grass between two cars perfect for our small car.I pulled into the spot, nosing forward to line up beside my neighbor.
With a loud noise, the front of our new car ran over some hard stones and hung over a foot above a pool.Shaking, I held the wheel and couldn't decide whether to drive forward or backward.Either would do damage to my car.
Suddenly, someone tapped on the driverside window.A man stood there in the cold rain.Without greeting he gave me instructions.“When I walk to the front of your car and lift, put it in reverse (倒挡) and back up.”
He moved unhurriedly around to the front of the car into my headlights.With apparent strain, he lifted and held the car's front end.I remember staring a moment, and then I put the car in reverse and looked over my shoulder until the front tires rested on the ground again.Before I could thank him, he was gone.I never saw him again.
Much later, I realized our carlifting angel marked a turning point in our family's direction.In the decades since that evening, life has thrown plenty of difficulties in our way.But I recall that night and know confidently that there's someone ready to help.

话题:懂得感恩,奉献社会
“Twelve years ago, I was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo when a disease went undiagnosed and wiped_out_my muscular system.I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure.”Kaufman recalled,“I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive.Fortunately, on my birthday in 2009, I received a new heart and was given a second chance at life!”
After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the nonprofit, Ava's Heart.She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, copays on medicines, and housing.
“What I found out was that if you didn't have posttransplanthousing, you couldn't get listed and admitted into the hospital,” Kaufman said.She learned that for the nearly 110,000 people in the US waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding your name to the list.Patients must be financially secure and be able to afford transportation.What's more, they must find accommodations near their transplant hospital: Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, typically about three months at no cost.
Her organization also helps donor families, which she thinks makes the whole circle complete.“One organ donor can save eight lives and then there's tissue and skin and eyes and blood vessels and so many other things,” Kaufman said.“The donor is the whole story.Without the donor, there are no transplant centers, no transplant surgeons, no me.In my eyes, the donors are the heroes.”
To date, Ava's Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives.Kaufman also works closely with those who receive donations to build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation.
5.What is the purpose of Kaufman's mentioning her memory in the beginning?
A.To hint her motivation for paying it forward.
B.To illustrate life is unpredictable.
C.To recall her sufferings from a disease.
D.To show her enthusiasm for dance and taekwondo.
6.For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires the following EXCEPT________.
A.convenient housing
B.health insurance
C.financial safety
D.transportation expenses
7.What is the meaning of the underlined words “wiped out” in the first paragraph?
A.Destroyed. B.Improved.
C.Weakened. D.Enhanced.
8.What message does the text mainly convey?
A.One good turn deserves another.
B.Health counts more for every individual.
C.The blessed bear the heart of giving.
D.Donors are the whole story for
transplant.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Kaufman在获得他人的器官捐献而重获新生后成立非营利组织去帮助其他病人的故事。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the nonprofit, Ava's Heart.She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, copays on medicines, and housing.(在洛杉矶医院做志愿者后,考夫曼创办了非营利组织Ava's Heart。她和她的组织为移植患者提供通常不在保险范围内的服务,包括食物、汽油、共同支付的药物和住房)”可知,第二段及下文都在讲她和她的非营利组织帮助其他病人的事情,这些都是源于第一段她被别人救了,所以第一段提及她的经历是为了表明她偿还(去帮助别人)的动机。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第三段“Patients must be financially secure and be able to afford transportation.What's more, they must find accommodations near their transplant hospital: Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, typically about three months at no cost.(患者必须有经济保障,并且能够负担得起交通费用。更重要的是,他们必须在移植医院附近找到住处:考夫曼经营着两个住宿地点,这使得患者在后期护理期间可以留在移植医院附近,通常大约三个月是免费的)”可知,病人必须在医院附近有房子、有经济保障、能负担得起交通费用才能进医院治疗,只有B项没提到。
7.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure.(我最终因为器官衰竭在重症监护室靠维持生命的设备维持生命。)”可知,当时一种疾病没有得到诊断,摧毁了作者的肌肉系统。故画线词wipe out是“消灭,摧毁”的意思。
8.C 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To date, Ava's Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives.Kaufman also works closely with those who receive donations to build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation.(迄今为止,Ava's Heart已经帮助了近90个家庭,为他们的亲人支付了丧葬费用,用他们的器官挽救了无数生命。考夫曼还与接受捐赠的人密切合作,与捐赠者家庭建立联系,并传播对器官捐赠重要性的认识。)”并联系全文可知,Kaufman她获得保佑,获得了别人捐赠的器官而重获新生,之后有爱心、懂得感恩,去帮助别人,所以本文的中心思想是“懂得奉献的人会被保佑”。
