Question

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.

Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two­year­old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.

Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

試題分析：文章講述了作者在應(yīng)別人的要求為一家需要幫助的人們準(zhǔn)備飯菜時，想到了自己在困難時期曾經(jīng)受到的慷慨幫助，也想到了自己多年來為別人做過的事情，由此內(nèi)心獲得了極大的滿足，她認為給別人送去的食物不但能填飽肚子，同時也能滋養(yǎng)我們的靈魂。

1.D細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段 the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life以及our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks等都說明了作者以前收到過別人送的食品，得到過別人 的幫助，故答案選D。

2.C推理判斷題。從第一段作者的敘述I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.可以推斷出作者是個樂于幫助別人的人，所以答案選C。

3.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.以及第二段的講述可知作者在母親去世時和自己懷孕期間不僅收到過食物也收到了別人帶來的安慰，故答案選C。

4.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening可知作者的社區(qū)內(nèi)有教堂，因此答案選B。

5.B主旨大意題。A善始善終；B禮尚往來；C行動勝過語言。D金無足赤，人無完人。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知作者受到過別人幫助，而且也積極的去幫助別人，自己也因此獲得了內(nèi)心的滿足和快樂，由此可知B選項正確。
