Ⅱ.阅读理解
A formerly homeless Utah man has used his insight to create and build “survival pods”, or mini-shelters, to be offered to people who currently have nowhere to live. “I
believe a person needs the dignity of something they can call their own, even if it’s only this,” Gary Pickering, a retired auto body shop owner in Pleasant Grove, told TV news station KSL.
Pickering, 73, was technically homeless for three years following a divorce in the late 1980s, when he lived in his shop. “I lost my home after I signed everything over to my wife and seven children,” he said. “But I had a roof over my head.” Because his shop was in an industrial area, he got to know many of the homeless men who lived in broken-down cars. He met a homeless man, who explained that homeless men didn’t go to shelters because of reasons ranging from “They steal my shoes” to “They won’t let me bring my dog”.
Pickering, in 2009, long after he’d gotten back on his feet, saw a homeless man while driving through the nearby town of Provo. He went home and constructed a 2-foot-wide, 6-foot-long “cocoon”, mainly out of plywood. “But when I went to look for the man to give it to him, I couldn’t find him,” he recalled. Piekering became crazy about coming up with the perfect temporary shelter. And after years of trial and error, he believes he’s finally perfected the “survival pod”.
Pickering has constructed five pods, personally funding them at the cost of about
$500 a piece. “I didn’t do this as a business, and I don’t want a business. I want to inspire other people,” Picketing told KSL, explaining that he’s created how-to DVDs and photos to show folks with the money and the desire to build the structures for people who need them.
1. We can learn from the first paragraph that Pickering ________.
A. isn’t confident in himself at all
B. has no house of his own to live in
C. used to be a homeless person
D. is good at designing new buildings
2. What happened to Pickering in the late 1980s?
A. He started his business successfully.
B. He was left alone by his wife and children.
C. He happened to know a lot of close friends.
D. He bought a new house with all his money.
3. Homeless men didn’t live in the shelter probably because ________.
A. they thought there was a lot of trouble in the shelter
B. they didn’t like raising the dog at all
C. they would like to live in a better house
D. they couldn’t afford to buy a house
4. According to the underlined phrase “trial and error” (in Paragraph 3), the writer means Pickering ________.
A. is an active person in society
B. has made a lot of mistakes
C. has constructed several pods
D. has tried to perfect the temporary shelter
5. What’s Piekering’s purpose of building “survival pods”?
A. To help all the homeless people.
B. To inspire other people to offer help.
C. To make as much money as he can.
D. To create modern how-to DVDs and photos.
答案与解析
【文章大意】
本文是记叙文。主人公Pickering曾经是无家可归的人，所以他能体会这种人的感受。当他有能力帮助那些无家可归的人的时候，他就为他们建造了一种被称作survival pods的房子。
1. 答案
C
解析
细节理解题。根据第一段开头的A formerly homeless Utah man可知，他过去是一个无家可归的人。故选C项。
2. 答案
B
解析
细节理解题。根据第二段中的Pickering, 73, was technically homeless for three years following a divorce和I lost my home after I signed everything over to my wife and seven children可知，他离婚了，妻子和孩子离开了他。故选B项。
3. 答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据第二段中的homeless men didn’t go to shelters because of reasons ranging from “They steal my shoes” to “They won’t let me bring my dog”可推知，他们认为那个地方存在太多的麻烦。故选A项。
4. 答案
D
解析
推理判断题。根据该短语后面的he believes he’s finally perfected the “survival pod”可以推知，他尽力完善暂时的住处。故选D项。
5. 答案
B
解析
