A
(2018南昌高三二模)
When I was five or six years old,I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world.I would say to myself,“When I grow up,when I can get rich,I will save kids all over the world.”
At 17,I started my career here in America,and by the age of 18,I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years,and met,helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls,from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病),and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors,to my grandmother,who lost her battle with cancer in 2012,and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF).We’re all human.And we all just want a chance:a chance at life,a chance in education,a chance at a future,really.And at CLF,our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is,you don’t have to be rich to help others.You don’t need to be famous.You don’t even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbor,the person right next to you,the person sitting next to you in class,the kid down the block in your neighborhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organization,one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother always used to say,“If you’ve got a dollar,there’s plenty to share.”

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了小时候在电视中看到世界上其他地方遭受困苦的孩子时,作者下定决心长大后要帮助他们。长大后,作者建立了慈善组织来帮助需要帮助的人。
答案及剖析:
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,作者小时候在电视中看到受苦的孩子,想要长大后能帮助他们。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“to my grandmother,...her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF)”可知,在2012年,祖母因癌症去世,这促使作者建立了CLF。
3.C 猜测指代题。根据第二段最后一句可知,CLF的任务是尽可能影响更多人的生命。由“as many lives as possible”可知,one指代a life。
