Question

    When I was about twelve，I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family．It was winter，and on that night，the wind was really blowing hard．

As my mom and I headed to the restaurant from our car，a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change （零钱）. My mom right away asked where they lived．They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car．My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings （兄弟姐妹）. But she didn't come．Later，I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards （食橱） into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people．

A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different．

Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didn't have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．

After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．

1.推理判断题．根据文章第二段的My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings （兄弟姐妹）. But she didn't come．Later，I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards （食橱） into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people．

可知，妈妈在给了她们一些钱后，立刻返回家中拿上食物，走向那辆破旧的汽车，将几袋子的食物送给了那家人。由此推断作者的妈妈是体贴、周到而又热心的。故选C项。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段的They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car．可知当作者的妈妈问他们住所时，女孩指着街道对面的车说他们一家六口都住在车里，故推测女孩一家就住在餐馆附近。D. the poor girl lived near the restaurant（可怜的女孩住在餐馆附近）符合以上推测，故选D项。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings （兄弟姐妹）.可知作者家里有：妈妈、爸爸、其他兄妹3人和作者，总计6人。B. There were six people in the writer's family．（作者家里有6个人）符合以上说法，故选B项。

4.推理判断题。本文主要讲述了作者的妈妈帮助穷人的故事，再结合最后一段的After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．可知作者最后明白妈妈为什么要那样做，而且永远不会忘记那晚妈妈给她上的最好的一节课之一，故推测作者写本文的目的是告诉读者要善待他人，做一个有爱心的人。C. To tell us to show love to others．（为了告诉我们要关爱别人）符合以上推测，故选C项。

5.主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容和最后一段的I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned可知作者永远都不会忘记妈妈那晚帮助别人的事，妈妈教了她最好的一课。D. A lesson in kindness from my Mum．（来自妈妈的一节关于善良的课）可以作为本文标题，故选D项。
