    A group of Canadian kids are already spreading a bit of Christmas spirit in HalifaxNova Scotia, by wrapping warm clothing around lamp poles for the city’s homeless to pick up and use. The sight of warmly dressed poles caught recently the attention of locals, who stopped to click pictures to share on social media.

Every year, Tara Atkins collects warm clothing from her community, in order to give to the less fortunate. This year, she took to Facebook to call for donations and the response was strong—their front porch (门厅)was filled with bags of clothes. Since the family was traveling to Halifax on November 15 with their daughter Jayda and seven of her friends to celebrate her 8th birthday, Tara decided it was the perfect time to teach the children a valuable life lesson.

The kids spent time handing out coats to any homeless they met on the streets and tied the rest around lamp posts for o thers to pick up. According to Tara, the experience helped the children better understand the difficult situation of homeless people having to confront the severe winter on the s treets.

There is no way to be sure that the coats left hanging on street posts were actually picked up by the homeless, but Tara says she isn’t too worried about that. By next morning, all the jackets and scarves on the posts were gone. Photographs of the inspiring project have been shared about 8,000 times on Facebook, and got over 10,000 likes. Tara, who did something similar in Toronto in December last year, says she’s already planning next year’s coat drive. She’s hoping to spread the word well ahead of time, so more people can contribute. And she also wants to add $ 5 fast food gift cards so the recipients (接受者)can also enjoy a hot meal. “We’ve had help from others when we were in need, and we knew how great it made us feel,” said Zachary Atkins, Tara’s husband.

1.How did locals respond at the sight of the warmly dressed poles?

A. They got confused.

B. They were annoyed.

C. They took photos and spread the news.

D. They unwrapped and put on the clothes.

2.Why did Tara Atkins go to Halifax on November 15?

A. To go sightseeing.

B. To celebrate Jayda’s birthday.

C. To collect warm clothing for the homeless.

D. To spend the holiday with family.

3.What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Face. B. Discuss.

C. Enjoy. D. Describe.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Tara is sure that the coats will be picked up by the homeless.

B. People responded warmly to the photographs on Facebook.

C. Tara is appealing to the government to donate.

D. Zachary Atkins is against what Tara has done.

 

1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了塔拉·阿特金斯每年都会从她所在的社区收集保暖衣物,以便捐给那些不那么幸运的人。今年,为了庆祝女儿杰娅达(Jayda) 8岁生日,特拉一家和7位朋友一起前往哈利法克斯(Halifax),并借此给孩子们上一堂宝贵的人生课。 1.细节理解题,根据第1段的The sight of warmly dressed poles caught recently the attention of locals, who stopped to click pictures to share on social media.可知,当地人看到后就把此景拍下来并在社交媒体分享此事。故选C。 2.细节理解题,根据第2段的Since the family was traveling to Halifax on November 15 with their daughter Jayda and seven of her friends to celebrate her 8th birthday可知,她去那里是为了庆祝女儿的生日。故选B。 3.词义推测题。根据前面语境“the experience helped the children better understand the difficult situation of homeless people”判断后面的意思是“在大街上要面对寒冬”,故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的Photographs of the inspiring project have been shared about 8,000 times on Facebook, and got over 10,000 likes.
