Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2022·珠海一模)When Randy Heiss went hiking behind his Patagonia, Ariz.farm, the last thing he expected to find was a Christmas list from a little girl across the US-Mexico border.“I found this balloon on my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday.Attached to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little girl，” Heiss wrote on his Facebook page.

When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, they determined that the little girl had asked for Enchantimals toys, clothes, art supplies and various other gifts.That's when Heiss set out to make the little girl's Christmas dreams come true.Heiss said he had attempted to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus via balloon when he was a kid but never received a response.

Heiss sent a Facebook message on Wednesday to XENY, a radio station in Nogales, to see if it could help him track down the girl or her family.He later received a response from the station, which had determined the author of the letter was an 8-year-old girl named Dayami, and the station wanted to set up a meeting between the two on Thursday.“It just changed my entire day，” Heiss told the Washington Post.“Instead of going back to my office in Bisbee, I went with my wife to Walmart.”

The couple bought almost everything on Dayami's list.They also brought a few gifts for Dayami's little sister, Ximena.They told the children they were “ayudantes de Santa，” or Santa's helpers.

Heiss,60, said the experience was very healing for him and his wife.Nine years ago，the couple's only son died.“ Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives，” Heiss said.“We now have friends for life.For a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，记叙了Randy Heiss在亚利桑那州巴塔哥尼亚徒步旅行时，意外收到了来自美墨边境的一个小女孩的圣诞礼物清单。女孩通过气球来发送圣诞愿望。在妻子的帮助下，他们开始帮助女孩实现愿望。

1．How did Dayami send out her Christmas wishes?

A．By calling Heiss.

B．By attaching them to a balloon.

C．By writing to a radio station.

D．By sending a Facebook message.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，小女孩就是Dayami，她是通过把愿望绑在气球上发送圣诞愿望的。

2．When did Heiss know what the girl exactly wanted?

A．After the help of his wife.

B．When he found the balloon.

C．After their meeting in America.

D．When he got a response from the radio station.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，当他把单子带回家给能说一口流利西班牙语的妻子时，他们断定小女孩想要的是《丛林小精灵》的玩具、衣服、美术用品和其他各种各样的礼物。即他是通过妻子的帮助之后知道女孩到底想要什么礼物。

3．What might make Heiss decide to fulfill the little girl's Christmas wishes?

A．His son's will.

B．The girls request for help.

C．His similar unsuccessful experience.

D．His desire to make friends with the girl.

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，当他还是个孩子的时候，他曾试图通过气球给圣诞老人寄圣诞信，但从未收到任何回复。由此可知他有和女孩相似的但不成功的经历，因此他决定帮助女孩实现愿望。

4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The couple got out of the pain completely.

B．The experience was a great relief to the couple.

C．The couple would help more children from Mexico.

D．There will be no border between countries one day.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，Heiss说这段经历对他和他的妻子来说都具有疗伤功能。因为他们九年前失去了唯一的儿子，因此这次经历对他们来说是一种很大的安慰。

Eight hours and 48 miles into what was supposed to be a 24-hour run, Dan Frank entered his Columbia, MD, home at 2 am last Saturday and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Frank, a 36-year-old who teaches maths at Paint Branch High in Burtonsville, runs as a hobby, and about two weeks earlier he set a plan of running for 24 straight hours in support of the Howard County Food Bank during the COVID-19 outbreak.But he hit_a_wall.

Frank didn't stay long.He got back up, had a lot to eat and drink, and returned to running Howard County's roads, “It was like: ‘All right, well, you can't imagine getting up, but it doesn't really matter.Other people are depending on this, so get up and go，’” said Frank, who posted updates of his run on Facebook.

Late last month, David Kilgore, a 28-year-old who has made a career out of running, ran 100 miles in about 17 hours 47 minutes in Florida to help provide medical workers with supportive footwear.Frank brainstormed his idea and ran for about two weeks while he prepared for the online classes he is now teaching.

Frank began running about five years ago, and he has always felt road races were too serious for him.Still, he was encouraged to provide for those in need.His children attend Phelps Luck Elementary, where every month a mobile food pantry (储藏柜) is stationed.“Over the past month, fewer donations have been made to the food bank，” he said.“In good times, about 40 families show up every time we have that mobile food pantry, and I    can't imagine what it might be like now, with so many people losing their jobs.”

On Sunday night Frank had raised nearly D|S12,000 for the Howard County Food Bank.“The coolest part besides raising the money is watching a community do a common cause in these times，” Frank said.“People are looking for things like that night now.They're at home on Facebook anyway; they want to cheer something on that has some good meaning behind it.”

语篇解读：本文是记叙文。一名数学老师连续跑步24小时为当地的食物银行筹款。

5．What does the underlined phrase “hit a wall” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Lost his way.

B．Made no progress.

C．Got seriously hurt.

D．Became terribly tired.

解析：选D　词义猜测题。由第一段的描述及第三段第一、二句可推断，Frank当时应该是筋疲力尽、体力不支。

6．What gave Frank the idea to run for a good cause?

A．The encouragement from his online friends.

B．The advice of a medical worker.

C．Another runner's kind act.

D．His great love for running.

解析：选C　细节理解题。第四段中讲述了一名职业跑步者通过跑步做慈善的故事。结合该段中的“Frank brainstormed his idea”可知，Frank知道了该职业跑步者的暖心故事后，萌生了跑步为当地的食物银行筹款的想法。

7．What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 5?

A．The mobile food pantry is popular among many people.

B．There has been a great need for food in the local community.

C．Frank made it his task to do something for his children's school.

D．More and more people are unwilling to support feeding local families.

解析：选B　推理判断题。由第五段可知，当地有些居民本来就食物短缺，现在既得不到救济的食物，又丢掉了工作。由此可推断，他们非常需要食物。

8．How did Frank's money-raising run turn out?

A．It drew people's attention to exercise.

B．It received a lot of support from others.

C．It raised as much money as he had expected.

D．It encouraged other communities to do the same.

解析：选B　推理判断题。第三段中提到Frank在Facebook上发布自己跑步的最新信息。最后一段中提到周日晚上他已经筹到将近12,000美元。可推断，Frank通过跑步筹款的举动得到了许多人的支持。
