Question

9．My name is Pablo．I think I'm a lucky guy．I have a good family，and we live in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta，Mexico．People travel here from many countries for their vacations．We have beautiful beaches，hotels，restaurants，shopping and sports．
       However，in my beautiful hometown，there are also very poor neighborhoods．These areas are crowded and have a lot of crime．Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas．Some don't really have a childhood because they're homeless and live on the streets．They don't have education．They don't have enough food．Many use drugs or have diseases or mental problems．
       Last year，I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City．I spent one year as a volunteer with an organization called Outreach International．They have several programs．I volunteered for one program to help street children．
       I worked in a home for street children （all boys，at this one）．At this home，the boys have a place to sleep and three meals daily．The home keeps the boys off the streets．It shows them another way of life．As a volunteer，I helped to prepare meals．I taught games---such as basketball，football and art．I helped the kids with their homework．These kids can be fun．They have a lot of energy，but they're also really tough．Their hardships on the streets make them strong and not always"sweet little children．"
       At this boys'home，I met two other volunteers---Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia．In many ways，we were very similar．We were the same age，came from good homes and had a good education．They were both college students，like me．We became very good friends．Now，we email each other．
It was the best---and most difficult---year of my life．I learned a lot that year．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，首先向我们讲述了作者的童年和他的家乡，后来介绍了作者大学毕业之后自愿帮助流浪儿童，他尽自己所能去帮助那些孩子，让他们感到温暖，在这里作者遇到了两个其他的志愿者，他们在一起度过了一年的志愿生活同时成为了好朋友．

解答 59．B     推理判断题．根据最后一段中"It was the best---and most difficult---year of my life．I learned a lot that year．"可知作者很喜欢他的这份当志愿者的工作，故选B．
60．D     细节理解题．根据第二段中"Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas．"及最后一句"They don't have enough food．Many use drugs or have diseases or mental problems．"可知本段主要介绍的是无家可归的孩子的悲惨生活，故选D．
61．C     细节理解题．根据第四段最后一句"Their hardships on the streets make them strong and not always‘sweet little children'．"可知是艰难的生活让那些孩子们变得不好管理，故选C．
