Question

【題目】 A young man lost his job and became poor. Finally, he had run out of money and had to spend the night in his car. After several days of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After finishing it, he told the owner that he had lost his wallet. The owner walked behind the young man’s seat and picked up 20 dollars on the floor.

“Sir, you must have dropped this,” the owner said.

The young man couldn't believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast and left.

On the way out of town, he began thinking this,“Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. That’s because the owner knew I was in trouble and he helped me.” From then on, the young man promised himself that he would try to help others if he was able to one day.

Now the young man lives near Kansas City. Each year, he donates（捐款）thousands of dollars. He is known as the“Secret Santa”，because at Christmas time each year, he gives money to homeless people on streets. Last year, he gave more than 50000 dollars away in Kansas City and New York City.

“I am very happy that I can help those people because they really need our help. I will continue giving my help to them. I once received help from others, too. So I understand the meaning when you help others.” he said.

【2】The owner of the restaurant.

【3】Who couldn’t believe his luck?

【4】More than 50000 dollars.

【5】20 dollars/the money

【解析】

本文講述了一個年輕人失業(yè)時一個飯店老板幫助了他，他很受感到，從那以后，年輕人向自己保證，如果有一天能幫上忙，他會盡力幫助別人。現(xiàn)在這個年輕人住在堪薩斯城附近，每年捐贈數(shù)千美元。他被稱為“秘密圣誕老人”。

【1】題意：那年輕人沒錢了，晚上在哪里過夜？

根據(jù)第1段第2句“Finally, he had run out of money and had to spend the night in his car.（最后，他沒錢了，只好在車里過夜。）”可知那年輕人沒錢了，晚上在車里過夜；故答案為In his car.。

【2】題意：誰在地板上撿到20美元？

根據(jù)第1段最后2句“… he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. The owner walked behind the young man’s seat and picked up 20 dollars on the floor.（他緊張地走進一家餐館，點了一頓豐盛的早餐。店主走在年輕人的座位后面，在地板上撿到20美元。）”可知是餐館老板在地板上撿到20美元；故答案為The owner of the restaurant.。

【3】本句畫線部分The young man是人，在主語位置，使用疑問代詞who，直接替換畫線部分；故答案為Who couldn’t believe his luck?。

【4】題意：去年這個年輕人在堪薩斯市和紐約市捐了多少錢？

根據(jù)第5段最后1句“Last year, he gave more than 50000 dollars away in Kansas City and New York City.” 可知去年這個年輕人在堪薩斯市和紐約市捐出了5萬多美元；故答案為More than 50000 dollars.。

【5】題意：在文章中，下劃線的“this”是指________。

根據(jù)上文“The owner walked behind the young man’s seat and picked up 20 dollars on the floor.”和下文“Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. That’s because the owner knew I was in trouble and he helped me.”可知此句“On the way out of town, he began thinking this”意思是：在出城的路上，他開始想這（錢/20美元）。This指代的是20美元/錢；故答案為20 dollars/the money。
