　　(2012·江西卷)Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship.It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable_young_people (ages 7～17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.

　　Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married，single，with or without children.Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers.They are tutors：someone to trust，to have fun with，to talk and go to when needed.

　　A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park，cooking，playing sport or going to a football match.These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop positive self­respect，confidence and life direction.

　　Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations exist throughout the world.It is the largest and most well­known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.

　　Emily and Sarah have been matched since March 2008.Emily is a 10­year­old girl who has experienced some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school.“I was pretty sure there was something wrong with me.”

　　Emily's mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by “providing different feedback (反馈) about herself other than just relying on schoolmates to measure her self­worth.”

　　Sarah wanted to get involved in a volunteer program.“I googled it and found out how to be a part of it.I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it's all work and no play.”

　　Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah.They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful，happy and unique girl she is!

　　设题相似度：★★★

　　难度系数：★★★

　　The Davies were invited to Christmas

　　drinks

　　at

　　a

　　hotel once.They left their car in the carpark outside and went in.Mr.Davies was proud of the fact that he never got drunk，so he was careful not to drink too much，in spite of his

　　host's attempts to press more and more on him.

　　During the party，Mrs.Davies found she had forgotten to bring a handkerchief，so she asked her husband to go out to the car and get her one.He did so，but on his way back，he heard a car horn blowing in the carpark.Thinking someone might be in trouble，he went over to the car from which the noise was coming.He found a small black bear sitting in the driving seat and blowing the horn.

　　When Mr.Davies got back to the party，he told people about the black bear，but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk.When he took them out to the carpark to show them that he was serious，he found the car with the bear in had gone.

　　There were so many jokes about Mr.Davies's black bear during the following days that he at last put an advertisement in the local paper，“Will anybody who saw a black bear blowing a horn in a car outside the Central Hotel at about 7 p．m. on Christmas Day please phone...”

　　Two days later a Mrs.Richards phoned to say she and her husband had left their

　　pet bear in their car outside the Central Hotel for a few minutes that evening

　　and that it was

　　quite possible that he had been blowing the horn.Mrs.Richards did not seem to think there was anything strange about that.“It likes blowing car horns，”she said，“and we don't mind as long as we are not actually driving the car.”

　　【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。Davies夫妇应邀参加酒会。Davies先生出去为妻子取手帕时听见汽车喇叭在响，于是去看个究竟，发现是一只熊在按喇叭。他返回酒会后向人谈及，却被人误解为他已经喝醉，之后登广告才澄清事实，“沉冤得以昭雪”。

　　1．What was Mr.Davies careful of during the party?

　　A．Not drinking too much.

　　B．Not facing the black bear.

　　C．Not getting pressed by the host.

　　D．Not forgetting his wife's handkerchief.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。第一段最后一句提示选A。]

　　2．Why did Mr.Davies go to the car from which came the noise?

　　A．He wanted to see the bear.

　　B．He thought he might help one in need.

　　C．He wanted to check whose bear it was.

　　D．He thought the bear was in trouble.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。第二段第三句有“Thinking someone might be in trouble”的明确提示选B。]

　　3．What did Mr.Davies put the advertisement for?

　　A．He wanted to find the bear.

　　B．He wanted to prove he was not drunk.

　　C．He planned to make a joke.

　　D．He hoped to make friends with the bear.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。因为被人嘲笑，不得不登广告来找到那只熊来证明自己的清白。A选项有一定的干扰性， 但找到熊不是目的而是手段。]

　　4．Which of the following will serve as the best title of the passage?

　　A．A Bear Blowing a Car Horn

　　B．A Christmas Party with a Bear

　　C．A Man Never Gets Drunk

　　D．A Couple in a Christmas Party

　　答案　A　[主旨大意题。B选项可以比较容易排除，因为该故事中的bear并未参加酒会。C选项干扰性很大，但文章的标题用A Man Never Gets Drunk只表示Davies对喝酒的自控能力，没有提及因为熊按喇叭引起的误会。D选项只指一对夫妇参加酒会的事，没有谈及酒会上的插曲。]
