Question

13．One day Peng Xiaozhe learned he would go to Mashan School in Guizhou．The 16-year-old-year tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school．However he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign"Don't wash the clothes with water，or you'll be punished．"
Because of the drought，the school has been short of water for a long time．Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking．The drought has made the poor students much poorer．
Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School．He took part in the school's Rain & Bow project  from April 2 to 10．
The project idea came from Peng's principal．One day she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian，a poor girl from Mashan School，who stopped going to school because of the drought．The principal started this project to help the school．In one day 3，000 students made over 10，000 donations of water，books and clothes．
Peng and four other students went to Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers．They visited poor families，made surveys and had classes at school．
Ding Zhentao，16，was worried about the school's poor learning environment．"The blackboards and playgrounds are too shabby（破旧不堪的） to use，"Ding says，"Besides，there really aren't enough teachers．A teacher has to teach both English and history．And even a cook is a class teacher．"
Although life is not easy，students at the school have a positive attitude（积极态度） towards life and they are quite willing to learn．That's what moved the 16-year-old Chen Shi most．
"They sang their songs as usual before class every afternoon．After class，the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies，"Chen said，"You can see the passion（热情） in them．I believe it will make a difference．Their future will be bright．"

Answer 1

分析 这篇文章主要告诉我们Mashan School差的学习环境：严重缺水；操场和教师破旧不堪；教师不足等问题，因此彭和其他四个同学及五个老师去Mashan School捐款．

解答 38 C 根据Because of the drought，the school has been short of water for a long time学校已经很长时间没水了；Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking每个学生每天只有一瓶水用于洗涤和饮用，推测drought的意思是干旱，旱灾，故答案为C．
39 A 根据The project idea came from Peng's principal这个项目的想法来自彭的校长；The principal started this project to help the school校长启动这个项目来帮助学校，意思与A项吻合，故答案为A．
40 D 根据Peng and four other students went to Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers彭和其他四个同学及五个老师去Mashan School捐款，故答案为10个人，故答案为Dten．
41 A 本题属于主旨归纳题：前文花大量篇幅介绍了Mashan School的严重的缺水问题，然后彭和其他四个同学及五个老师去Mashan School捐款，后面写到同学担心学校糟糕的学习环境，综合起来这篇文章主要告诉我们Mashan School差的学习环境，故得出正确答案为Athe poor learning environment of the Mashan School，其余三项意思均与文章有出入．
