Question

2．When people think of New York City，most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway，Times Square and other tourist attractions．However，there is another side of New York City．The summer after tenth grade，I went with my group on a mission trip to New York City for a week．
       I had always known that poverty existed in major cities，but I had never seen it to a degree as high as we did there．We worked at several different locations with our small groups．One day，we served at a soup kitchen and what I saw astounded me．I couldn't believe my eyes．We saw people from all walks of life．We met people who came there because they had no job，no home and no money．
       Another day，we volunteered at a homeless shelter．We helped people there do some cleaning and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories．It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them．
        Every person we met on that trip had a unique story．Whatever their stories were，there was a common thread we saw in them--hope and thanks．These were people who had nothing and yet they were so hopeful about their futures and they were thanking us．
       My experience during that summer changed my life．I used to picture my future as containing a big house and a lot of money，but now I see my future as helping others．After college，I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues，such as poverty and homelessness．

56．What do most people have in mirtd when thinking of New York city？（No more than 10 words）People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions
57．What does the underlined word"astounded"in Paragraph 2 mean？（1 word）Surprised．/Astonished．/Shocked．/Startled．
58．What did the author discover in the people at the homeless shelter？（No more than 15 words）They were poor but very hopeful about their futures，and thankful/grateful to the helpers．
59．What kind of organizations does the author want to work for after college？（No more than 10 words）

Answer 1

分析 我去了美国旅行后才发现它并不是一个没有贫穷的国家，很多人也需要帮助，从此我立志为一些全球援助组织工作，处理社会问题，

解答 56．People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions．细节理解题．由第一段When people think of New York City，most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway，可知，当人们想到纽约，他们中的大多数可能是富人和名人有吸引力的生活方式或百老汇，时代广场和其他旅游景点，故填People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions．
57．Surprised．/Astonished．/Shocked．/Startled．词义推断题．由后文的We met people who came there because they had no job，no home and no money，可知我们遇见的人没有工作，没有家，没有钱，因此很惊奇，故填Surprised．/Astonished．/Shocked．/Startled
58．They were poor but very hopeful about their futures，and thankful/grateful to the helpers．由第三段It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them，可知令人难以置信的是他们感谢我们花几个小时和他们说话，故填They were poor but very hopeful about their futures，and thankful/grateful to the helpers．
59．A/A certain/Some global aid organization that deals with the social issues．细节理解题．由最后一段After college，I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues，such as poverty and homelessness，大学之后，我真的很想为一些全球援助组织工作，处理社会问题，如贫困和无家可归．故填A/A certain/Some global aid organization that deals with the social issues．
60．He shows me how important it is to help other people and contribute to society．自由发挥题．本题询问考生对作者立志帮助他人的看法，言之有理即可，答案不唯一．
