三1.解析事实细节题。从第一段前三句话可以看出，fuss夫妇现在正处于经济困境中，所以b为正确答案。a、c项与文中有关细节不符，d项在文中没有信息支持。答案b2.解析事实细节题。第四段第一句话说hatch夫妇是在大萧条时期出生的，而不是他们在大萧条时期有了孩子，排除a；第三段提到他们的老房子位于他们家的农场里，b错误；第二段提到他们帮助有困难的邻居们，但并未提及帮他们找工作，d错误。c项说他们把自己的财产捐赠给邻居，符合文意，故答案为c。答案c3.解析推理判断题。第四段提到他们有节约的习惯，买东西之前喜欢一个商店一个商店地比较价格，显然是为了省钱，故答案为b。a，他们决定开个商店；c，他们买不起贵的东西；d，他们想给当地的孩子买礼物，都明显与文意不符。答案b4.解析推理判断题。从文章第五段sandy van weelden的话中可知，the hatches从来不问你需要什么，而是能够发现你需要的东西，然后就来帮助你，这说明他们非常善解人意，故答案为a。b表示乐观的；c表示孩子气的，天真烂漫的；d表示好奇的，明显不符合文意。答案a5.解析推理判断题。a项错在这个地区很贫困，文章只是说这里有经济困难的人，并不是说这里是一个贫困地区；b项错在parents上；c项说sandy van weelden得到了hatches夫妇的一份遗产，文章只是提到他对他们的评价，并未说他得到遗产之事；从文章倒数第二段第二句话以及最后一段可以看出，hatches夫妇的愿望就是他们的遗产能够为社区以及子孙后代造福，邻里之间能够互相帮助，故答案为d。答案 d。*结束（全国新课标卷）完形填空 in our discussion with people on how education can help
