Lunar New Year (called Tt in Vietnam), which lands between the end of January and mid-February, is a unique time.

I plugged (塞) the lights on my tiny tree into a bag and strapped (拥) the whole thing to the roof of my car. My car was filled with donations. Before I climbed behind the wheel to a big open field, I took a moment to adjust my Santa hat. Finally I was ready. The people I would play Santa for didnt have homes.Usually my family made extra soup to pass out. But I didnt understand why they cared about strangers. My dad said, “Son, everyone wants to be treated with respect, as a real person.”When I grew up and moved to the United States, I continued helping others in little ways as my family usually did. But I didnt focus on homeless people at first.The empty field came into view. The people there were rubbing their hands to stay warm. It made me remember the stranger who knocked on my window at a gas station the winter before.“Excuse me, sir,” a man in his sixties said. “I wonder if you could help a man out.” “How are you?” I asked. “Well,” he said, “you see that field across the road? Thats where I slept last night.” I filled my gas tank while he talked about how cold it got at night. When I was leaving, Dads words came back to me. I handed the man a few dollars and wished him well.But later I kept thinking about hima real person who got cold and hungry. I gave food to homeless people. Whenever I gave something I started to talk to them and learn their stories. I could tell they appreciated my listening to them, maybe even more than they appreciated the food I gave them. Only then did I understand what my father had meant.24. Why did the author drive to a big open field?A. To meet with Christmas Santa.B. To collect donations from others.C.

Finally I was ready. The people I would play Santa for didnt have homes.可知，下车后去开阔地带，作者花了点时间调整圣诞帽子，准备为那些无家可归的人扮演圣诞老人分发东西，故可知，作者去开阔地带是为了帮助那些无家可归的人，故选D。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段When I grew up and moved to the United States, I continued helping others in little ways as my family usually did.可知，当作者成年之后，去了美国，像家人一样在一些小的方面帮助他人，故可知是家人的善行让作者帮助别人，故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段But later I kept thinking about hima real person who got cold and hungry. I gave food to homeless people. Whenever I gave something I started to talk to them and learn their stories.可知，之后作者开始思考那个人，那个饥寒交迫的人。只要送东西给别人，作者都会与他们交谈，了解他们的故事，因此可知，作者在加油站帮助那个人之后，开始了解帮助对象的故事，故选A。【27题详解】主旨大意题。本文讲述作者因为受到家里人的熏陶，帮助需要帮助的人，在帮助别人的同时，了解其背后的故事，真正带着尊重去帮助别人，故选B。【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。这类试题要求对文章的整体或局部（如段落）进行分析、概括，归纳相关部分的中心大意(Main idea)，选择标题(title)，判断作者的写作目的(purpose)等，旨在考查考生加工与浓缩信息的能力。这一项考查的是文章的灵魂与中心。记叙文、议论文常考文章的主旨大意。一般主旨大意常出现在文章的开头，有时也出现在结尾。当然更重要的是从全文去把握。首先，任何一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，许多文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。第二，要搞清是问某一段还是全文的大意。可利用段落信息来把握文脉，进行综合归纳，概括文章的主题。如有标题，标题中的蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。第三: 要学会借助文章的结构来把握中心思想。段落中心思想常常由主题句(Topic sentence)来表达。主题句常常出现在段首(60%-90%)或段尾处, 有时也在段落中间。同样，一篇文章的中心思想也常常在开始段或结尾段点出。因此, 在阅读中, 我们要对文章的开始段和结尾段及段落的主题句给予特别的注意。比如小题4，本文讲述作者因为受到家里人的熏陶，帮助需要帮助的人，在帮助别人的同时，了解其背后的故事，真正带着尊重去帮助别人，故选B。CHungry deer in the northeastern US are likely changing the acoustics (音效) of their forests by eating up bushes, small trees and other leafy plants that normally would affect the transmission(传播) of natural sounds such as bird calls.Megan Gall, an ecologist at Vassar College who studies how the environment shapes animals senses, showed curiosity about the possibility after talking with a couple of colleagues who were studying how browsing (吃草的) deer could transform a forest ecosystem by eating up the entire lower level of leafy plants.Gall already knew that sound travels differently through open fields than through the woods. She also had previously studied how human noise can influence wildlife communication. Confused about how deer might change what other animals hear, she decided to do some experiments in a couple of forested areas that her colleagues had set up for their deer studies.One area was fenced off in a way that kept out the deer. The other area was marked off but left open so that deer could enter and browse. Gall and two students set up audio equipment around these areas. They broadcast different sounds and checked to see how those sounds changed after traveling through each environment. They checked sounds that they sent through the lowest level of the forest, in the middle-level of the forest and at angles going from the ground upward.The results, published in the journal PLOS One, show that the structure (结构) of a sound changed a lot when it was traveling through an area that the deer hadnt snacked on. “When deer were browsing, we actually found that the sound was clearer, ” Gall says. “The challenge for further study is to find places that have not been browsed, ” he says, “to see if any of these changes have already occurred. Deer are so pervasive. Youd really have to look hard to find areas that have not been browsed.”28. What made Megan Gall curious?A. That hungry deer may change how things sound in the forest.B. That the environment shapes animals senses in the long term.C. That bird calls have great influence on the acoustics of the forestD. That hungry deer are likely to eat up all the lower level of plants.29. Why did Megan Gall start the experiments?A. To study how human noise affects wildlife communication.B. To conclude tha
