参考答案
Ⅰ.1.A wouldratherdo…thando意为“宁愿做……也不……”,根据情景“It’stoohotoutside.”可推知,与其出去踢足球不如待在家里。故选A。
2.A 3.A 4.D 5.A 6.A 7.A 8.B
Ⅱ.(i)9.A 10.B 11.D 12.B 13.A 14.C 15.B 16.C
17.D 根据上下文可知,这个非营利性的组织利用收集来的钱提供给孩子们一些食物。故选D。
18.B
19.C 根据前半句的“thekids”可知,此处指“孩子们的”,用their。故选C。
20.D throughtheweekend意为“整个周末”,为固定搭配。故选D。
21.A 22.C 23.A
(ii)24.dreamed 25.first 26.speak 27.tolearn 28.it

Ⅲ.[主旨大意] 本文讲的是一个热心肠的、乐于助人的女孩MooreHebert号召来华盛顿旅游的人在旅游结束时捐出公交卡来物尽其用、帮助穷人的故事。
6
34.B 细节理解题。由题干的关键信息“simpleidea”可以直接定位第一段首句。由下文“Whatwouldhappen,shewondered,ifvisitorsdonated…”可知,她的想法是要是游客们捐出用过的公交卡给穷人,会发生什么事情。故选B。
35.A 细节理解题。由题干的关键信息“SmarTripcards”直接定位第四段。由“Eachcardislikeabankcard,and …”可知公交卡像银行卡一样,带芯片可以支付每次乘车的费用,但不表示公交卡可以被当作银行卡使用,故C不对;由下句“Apersonwitha$10card,who … have$8remainingforfuturetrips.”可知公交卡里的钱没有用完,下次乘车还可以使用,故B不对;由第五段“Sounlesstheyplanto … Unlesstheydonatethecards.”可知游客如果不再一次来这个城市旅行,公交卡的余额就浪费了,除非他们捐赠出来,并不是公交卡本身不捐赠就无用,故D不对;根据第六段“SmarTripcardshavevalue,evenif …”及下文可知即便卡里无余额,卡本身也价值2美元。故选A。
36.C 主旨大意题。结合首句“MooreHeberthopestokeeptheprogramgoing,evenwhen …”及下文可知MooreHebert希望这次捐赠结束后,这个项目可以继续进行下去,如宾馆可以倡议游客捐赠公交卡等。故选C。
37.D 推理判断题。综合全文可知MooreHebert是一个想着帮助别人的人,故选D,其他选项都和文章信息不符。
