Question

    Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.

Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.

One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only $5 in her pocket, was walking to a gas station, gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said, “That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.

During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDe’s family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse. Her tuition was past due (逾期) and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.

Judy died on July 9, 2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners (悼念者) to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.

本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了TunDe在帮助Judy走过最后的日子后，得到了他们一家人的帮助，以实现自己的梦想。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.这家人雇了一个护理人员，在最后一刻取消了。取而代之的是，一位名叫TunDe Hector的女士。因此Judy的家人最终选择了TunDe是为了替换另一个护理人员。故选B项。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said, “That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day. 听到这个故事，Judy的儿子Chris摘下帽子说：“那是我！”他就是那个在那困难的日子帮助TunDe的陌生人。推测Chris听到这个故事之后觉得十分惊讶竟然是自己。故选A项。

3.细节理解题。根据最后一段Judy died on July 9, 2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners (悼念者) to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check. 朱迪于2017年7月9日去世。她的家人没有送鲜花，而是要求哀悼者为TunDe的教育捐款，帮助她支付护理学校的学费。在不到一周的时间里，他们筹集了8000多美元，给了她一张支票。可知，Judy死后，Wright一家通过捐款，帮助TunDe实现她的梦想。故选C项。

4.主旨大意题。结合全文可知，文章讲述了TunDe在帮助Judy走过最后的日子后，得到了他们一家人的帮助，以实现自己的梦想。A项“善良会一直循环下去。”符合文章主旨。故选A项。
