Question

Dear Mr. Taylor,

Thank you! We have received your $500 donation(捐款) to the Pine Hills Senior Center. Because of you, we can go on serving the old people.

Kathy is one of the old people in our center. She was always sad after her husband died in an accident. Because of you, this year will be different for her. We will have a worker to look after her every day and cheer her up. Your $500 donation makes it possible for us to do that.

Last year, you helped us plant a garden with vegetables. Most old people tell us that it is their favorite place in our center. They work in the garden with some college students, and once a week they pick fresh vegetables from the garden and give a dinner for those volunteers. We hope you will join us soon for our weekly dinners. Kathy will be glad to cook tomato soup for you.

                      Yours,

                   Mary McHill

【解析】

本文是Mary McHill写给泰勒先生的一封信。在信中她感谢泰勒先生给松山老人中心的捐款以及去年帮助建的菜园，并邀请他来参加晚餐。

1.推理判断题。根据“Dear Mr. Taylor,”和“We have received your $500 donation(捐款) to the Pine Hills Senior Center.”可知，是泰勒先生给松树山老人中心捐的钱，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据“She was always sad after her husband died in an accident.”可知，凯西在她的丈夫去世后，总是感到悲伤，故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据“Last year, you helped us plant a garden with vegetables.”可知，去年泰勒先生在这个老年中心建造了一个菜园，故选B。

4.根据“They work in the garden with some college students, and once a week they pick fresh vegetables from the garden and give a dinner for those volunteers.”可知，他们和一些大学生一起在菜园里劳动，每周从菜园里采摘一次新鲜蔬菜，并为志愿者们准备一顿晚餐。不是每天独立做饭，因此A项不正确。而且表示和大学生志愿者一起摘菜，不是一起玩，因此D项不正确。根据“Most old people tell us that it is their favorite place in our center.”可知，他们喜欢在菜园里劳动，因此B项正确。根据“Kathy will be glad to cook tomato soup for you.”可知，凯西会为泰勒先生做西红柿汤，没有提到大家都喜欢凯西的西红柿汤，因此C项不正确。故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据 “We have received your $500 donation(捐款) to the Pine Hills Senior Center.”和“Last year, you helped us plant a garden with vegetables.”可知，泰勒先生给这个老人中心捐钱，还帮助建了一个菜园，因此推断他是一个善良的人。故选A。
