20．Last August，I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo，a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate（整修） a community centre．During my stay there，I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact（互動） and work with local children，and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day，all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life．
One young boy in particular，Javier，16，stood out for me．Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U．S．，and the family had not heard from him since．This put his mother in a difficult position，stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income．In the end she decided to move to another province to find work．Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house．Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations．
As our last day approached，I remember the look in Javier's eyes，as they welled up（涌出）with tears when we told him we were leaving．One of the volunteers held him close，but it did little to console him．He had already experienced so much loss，his father abandoning him，his mother leaving to find work，and it was hard to realize that our departure（離開）was adding to the list．
As I looked beyond Javier，I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to，depended on，and gathered strength from．I did know that without parents to raise him，he was not left alone．Instead，the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young．
21．Which of the following statement is TRUE？B
A．Javier established good relationship with the author and his team．
B．Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks．
C．Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo．
D．Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy．
22．We can replace the underlined word"console"in the third paragraph withC．
A．affect
B．inspire
C．comfort
D．protect
23．According to the author，what plays an important part in the growth of Javier？C
A．The united effort from the whole global village．
B．The good quality from the foreign volunteers．
C．The great care from the adults in his community．
D．The positive support from some of his family．
分析 本文講的是作者在Tres de Mayo社區(qū)做志愿者的所見及感想，作者在看見孤苦伶仃的Javier，他感到很同情，這個社區(qū)的孩子的境遇相同都是無依無靠的．
解答 21．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段"Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U．S．，and the family had not heard from him since．This put his mother in a difficult position，stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income"可知Javier面臨許多挑戰(zhàn)，使他面臨一些風險；故選B．
22．C．詞義猜測題．affect 影響；感染 Comfort安慰inspire 激發(fā)，鼓舞．Protect保護．文中第四段中because he had already experienced so much loss，因為他已經失去太多了，所以我們的行為并不能安慰到他．Console 安慰；慰藉．故選C．
23．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段：Instead，the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young相反，社區(qū)里的成年人應該承擔起照顧他們集體年輕人的責任．；可知在他的社區(qū)里深受大人的關懷在哈維爾的成長中起著重要的作用；故選C．
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
