70、保护,越来越多的鸟儿迁徙到青海湖,也可推知青海湖是一个适宜鸟儿生活的地方,故选C项。26.B根据第三段中的“.plentyoffloatinggrassandvariousschoolsoffish,offeringrichfoodsourcesforbirds.”可知,鸟儿是以水草和鱼儿为食的,故选B项。27.D根据第四段中的“EachMarchandApril,wheniceandsnowcoveringtheQinghai-TibetPlateaustartstomelt”,可知每年的三四月份,雪融化了,春天来了,故选D项。28.B从第一段第四句“Twaingrewupthereandw
71、asfascinatedwithlifealongtheriver”可知B项正确。29.B第二段说全国汤姆索亚日期间会举办不同的活动,旨在颂扬这两部作品,由此可知这个节日是为纪念这两部作品的作者马克吐温。30.A至今仍伫立在马克吐温孩童时期的家外的那片白色篱笆是用来说明最后一段句首的结论“AlthoughthestoryofTomSawyerisafiction,itsbasedonfacts.”。因为从上一段可知汤姆索亚历险记中有与此相关的情节。31.C32.B33.A34.F35.E36.B在“我”写这篇文章的时候,“我”桌上相框中的小女孩正朝着“我”微笑。她正是“我”曾经(once)资助
72、过的来自菲律宾的小孩。37.A由下文可知,尽管“我”从来没有亲眼见过她,但是她在“我”的心中占据了一块特殊(special)的位置。38.C由下文“aboutadollaraday”可知“我”资助小女孩,每天大约一美元,花费(cost)的并不多。39.D根据语意可知,上下文是转折关系。但是(However)世界上还有成千上万的人每天花费不到一美元。40.D“我”自愿帮助她,帮助她给“我”带来了快乐(joy)。41.C帮助她给“我”带来的快乐是无价的(beyondprice)。42.B根据句式,toher,tolife和tolove为并列关系,它把“我”和她、生活和爱联系在一起。43.A根据“I
73、twasmanyyearsago.”可知,“我”仍然记得(remember)“我”第一次决定帮助外国孩子的情形。44.A根据语境可知,很多年前,“我”年少时,每月会有一点额外的零花钱(money)。45.B虽然有点零花钱,但是“我”不想买(buying)任何东西。46.C根据句意,几年前家里着火,“我”们失去(lost)了一切。47.D经历了(Goingthrough)那件事让“我”学会了很多。putaside“储备”;takeon“呈现”;payfor“为付钱”。48.A获得快乐(happy)不需要拥有很多东西。49.B根据后文“childreninpoorcountriesaroundth
74、eworld”可知,“我”也了解到了生活在贫穷国家中的孩子所遭遇的不幸(suffering)。50.C在母亲的爱与支持(support)下,“我”很快找到了一些如国际儿童组织等这样的一些组织。51.D前文提到:“我”通过捐赠来帮助他们。可知“我”找到的这些组织是为全世界人们服务(serving)的。52.A能够伸出援手帮助处在穷困中的人让自己感觉很好。53.B“我”可以感受到自己的同情和怜悯之心(empathy)正在慢慢改变着自己。54.C同情心帮助“我”们去爱(love)别人,让“我”们变得更加善良,也会让这个世界变得更加美好。55.D解析同上。56.pupils57.who58.with5
