Question

Katherine Com male is an 11-year-old girl from Pennsylvania. At the age of five she began raising money to buy nets for children in Africa to help stop the spread of malaria(瘧疾).
When she was five, Katherine learnt about malaria in Africa. She learnt that every 30 seconds a child died from this disease. She, also learnt that people wouldn’t get that disease if they had enough bed nets. “I was really sad to learn that a child died every half a minute because of malaria.” Says Katherine, “I wanted to send nets right away, so that’s what I did.”
Five-year-old Katherine made presentations at churches and schools. She told students and others how important bed nets were for Africans. After people heard the presentations, many of them donated money. Katherine sent the money to NBN. NBN is an organization that sends bed nets to Africa.

It explains that a bed net would be sent to Africa. When more certificate orders come, Katherine gets help from students in her school.

試題分析：本文敘述了一個名叫凱瑟琳的女孩得知買蚊帳可以阻止非洲人死于瘧疾，于是她在教堂和學校做演講，為給非洲人買蚊帳而籌集資金。在假期，凱瑟琳讓人們買一種禮券，每10美元為非洲人買一個蚊帳。凱瑟琳的努力，為NBN籌集到了大量資金，為非洲人提供了很多蚊帳，她覺得要繼續努力，爭取讓每個非洲人都有一個蚊帳。
小題1:細節理解題。根據 She learnt that every 30 seconds a child died from this disease.可知Katherine 得知每30秒就有一名孩子死于瘧疾，也就是1分鐘會有2個孩子死于這種病。故選B。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據 On each l0-dollar certificate there is a message.可知此處指的是每個10美元單據就是一個信息，這個可以證明這些錢可以買一個蚊帳。故選D。
小題3:細節理解題。根據Katherine sent the money to NBN. 可知凱瑟琳為NBN籌集資金，故A項與文中意思相符。根據Five-year-old Katherine made presentations at churches and schools. 可知凱瑟琳在教堂和學校做演講。故B項與文中意思相符。根據She told students and others how important bed nets were for Africans.可知她告訴學生和其他人蚊帳對于非洲人是多么重要。故C項與文中意思相符。文中沒有提凱瑟琳命令人們如何使用蚊帳，故選D。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據Katherine has helped to raise $200,000 for NBN. 可知凱瑟琳的努力，為NBN籌集到了大量資金，為非洲人提供了很多蚊帳，因此是有作用的和有意義的。故選A。
