Question

2．
"Any apple today？"，Effie asked cheerfully at my window，．I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo．On credit，of course．Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just them．
All pretense （借口）of payment was drooped when our funds，food and fuel decreased to alarming lows．Effie came often，always bringing some gift：a jar of  peaches or some firewood．There were other generosities．A
Effie was not a rich woman．Her income，derived from investment she had made while running an interior decorating shop，had never exceeded﹩200 a month，which she supplemented by selling her apples．But she always managed to help someone poorer．
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time．She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year．"Here，darling，"I said，"is what I owe you，"F"Give it back as I gave it to you-----a little at a time．""I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt．
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie，for she died a few weeks later．By now，the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times．But a curious thing began to happen．CAt that time，it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled．So the account can never be marked closed，for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了我们一家一直受到Effie的慷慨相助，而在她死后我也一直帮助别人的，同样的，这种善心被传递了下去．

解答 A．推理判断题．根据前文Effie came often，always bringing some gift：a jar of  peaches or some firewood．There were other generosities可知Effie很慷慨，我们的孩子做得不好，所以Effie资助我的妻子前往纽约与专家咨询；故选A．
F．推理判断题．根据后文Give it back as I gave it to you-----a little at a time可知她不希望我一下子把钱给她，希望我一点一点还给她；故选F．
C．推理判断题．根据后文At that time，it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled．So the account can never be marked closed可知我帮助过的人也总是会去帮助别人；故选C．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
