Question

【題目】

Imagine waking up at the age of six and discovering your family is missing! That’s what happened to young Charles Mulli in his Kenyan hut one morning. He soon realized he had been abandoned(拋棄) by his very poor parents and seven siblings!

The child was forced to become a street beggar in order to make a living. Living a poor and hopeless life, he still dreamed of being an important man someday.

When Mulli turned 16, he walked for three days to Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, in search of work.

In the years that followed, he tried many difficult jobs.

Mulli saved his money and bought a car, which he began using as a taxi in 1971. In time, he started a transportation service. The company, called “Mullyways,” became quite successful. Mulli then went on to become the owner of an oil company.

All of his hard work turned Mulli into a millionaire and an important man. Yet his life would soon take another dramatic turn.

Mulli was becoming painfully aware of the growing number of homeless children in Kenya. Their faces were a haunting reminder of his own childhood. One day Mulli told his wife and children that he was to devote his life to taking care of street kids.

Soon the Mulli House was filled with 100 orphans( 孤 兒 ), but that was just the beginning! In 1989, Mulli and his wife opened the Mulli Children’s Family (MCF). They provided children with food, clothes, medical care and an education. Most importantly, they offered something many of the kids had never experienced--parental love. In fact, the Mullis chose the name “Mully Children’s Family” because their emphasis was on providing a family.

So far, MCF has helped more than 12,000 children through its MCF homes and community-based centers.

In evaluating his life, Mulli once said, “I believe you can make a difference to the world, one child at a time. As a child, I wanted to be important, but where I am now is important for mankind.”

【解析】

本文講述了穆利從一個(gè)孤兒成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)公司的老板。他為肯尼亞無(wú)家可歸的孩子們建立了一個(gè)名為MCF的家園，給他們提供衣服，食物和教育，最重要的是給他們父母般的關(guān)愛(ài)。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。teachers老師，classmates同學(xué)，friends朋友，brothers and sisters兄弟姐妹。 “Imagine waking up at the age of six and discovering your family is missing!”和“He soon realized he had been abandoned(拋棄) by his very poor parents and seven siblings!”可知，他被父母和兄弟姐妹拋棄了。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Imagine waking up at the age of six and discovering your family is missing!”可知，穆利在六歲成為了一個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的人。根據(jù)“Mulli saved his money and bought a car, which he began using as a taxi in 1971……The company, called “Mullyways,” became quite successful.”可知，后來(lái)他成為了一名出租車(chē)司機(jī)，建立了一個(gè)名為“Mullyways”的公司。根據(jù)“One day Mulli told his wife and children that he was to devote his life to taking care of street kids.”和“Soon the Mulli House was filled with 100 orphans( 孤 兒 ), but that was just the beginning!”可知，穆利決定為肯尼亞無(wú)家可歸的兒童提供一個(gè)家。根據(jù)“In 1989, Mulli and his wife opened the Mulli Children’s Family (MCF).”和“So far, MCF has helped more than 12,000 children through its MCF homes and community-based centers.”可知，后來(lái)，MCF成立了，并幫助了大量無(wú)家可歸的兒童。因此正確的順序是③④②①。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Most importantly, they offered something many of the kids had never experienced--parental love.”可知，在穆利的眼中，對(duì)于無(wú)家可歸的孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)，愛(ài)是最重要的，故選C。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)“In 1989, Mulli and his wife opened the Mulli Children’s Family (MCF)”“In fact, the Mullis chose the name “Mully Children’s Family” because their emphasis was on providing a family.”可知，本文介紹了穆利為無(wú)家可歸的孩子建了一個(gè)家園，讓這些孩子享受父母般的關(guān)愛(ài)。故選B。

這是一篇記敘文，短文講述了穆利為肯尼亞無(wú)家可歸的孩子建立一個(gè)家，給他們提供衣服，食物和教育，最重要的是給他們父母般的關(guān)愛(ài)。文章敘述清晰，故事容易理解。題型是閱讀理解，考查了細(xì)節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和標(biāo)題歸納。細(xì)節(jié)理解考查學(xué)生們對(duì)文章事實(shí)信息的理解，答案常可以直接在文中找到。如第3小題，在原文都可以找到相對(duì)應(yīng)的線(xiàn)索。第1題是一個(gè)猜測(cè)題。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知，他的家人都不見(jiàn)了，因此猜測(cè)他被他的父母以及兄弟姐妹拋棄了。故選D
