【語篇解讀】本文是記敘文。文章主要講述了JohnBuettner的老師和同學為了

能讓殘疾的他和其他殘疾學生在學校操場上玩耍，發(fā)起了籌款活動，最終成功改

造了操場。

4.What’stheproblemwiththeschoolplayground?

A.Littleplayingspace.B.Limitedaccessibility.

C.Poorconstructionfunding.D.Narrowwheelchairpassage.

答案B[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Heusesawheelchair...mostofthe

playgroundatGlenLakeElementarySchoolisn’t.”和“Ourplaygroundisnotsetup

foreverybodyintheschooltoplayandhavefun.”可知，學校操場的問題是對于使用

輪椅的人來說并不方便，即無障礙環(huán)境有限。]

5.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“astepfurther”referto?

A.Donatingmoremoney.B.Achievingoriginalgoals.

C.Askingmorepeopleforhelp.D.Transformingthewholeplayground.

答案D[詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線短語上文“soJulienaskedherclasstohelpraise

therest.”和下文“‘Whycan’twemakethewholeplaygroundaccessible？’said

HadleyMangan.”可知，Julien讓她的學生們幫忙籌集剩下的錢，她的學生們欣然

接受了，并決定籌集錢把整個操場改造一下，變成無障礙操場，由此可推知，“astep

further”指的是改造整個操場。]

6.WhatcanweinferfromBuettner’swords?

A.Heengagesmoreindonation.

B.Hehasmorefaithinhimself.

C.Hebecomesanexpertinsports.

D.Hegetsmoreinvolvedincontests.

答案B[推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Buettner所說的話“Ijustfeelsome

senseofcapability”可推知，Buettner對自己更加有信心。]

7.WhatcanwelearnfromJulien’sstory?

A.Hardworkmatters.B.Kindnessbearsfruits.

C.Goodideaswinfavor.D.Trustpromotesfriendship.

答案B[推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段中“JohnBuettnerwoulddream

of...mostoftheplaygroundatGlenLakeElementarySchoolisn’t.”和第二段中

“Now，thankstothisteacherandherstudents，thatdreamisabouttocometrueina

biggerway.”可知，文章主要講述了善良的老師和同學為了能讓殘疾的John

Buettner和其他殘疾學生在學校操場上玩耍，發(fā)起了籌款活動，最終成功改造了

操場。從這個故事中可以得知，善良會結(jié)出果實。]
