Q20: What does Mike hope others will do?
答案:【C】Follow his example.
解析:本道题是文章理解题,在出现了镇上和父亲的称赞之后,出现了转折词Yet,之后陈述了Mike行为的真实目的,but kindness in return以及 He hopes his active charity will influence others to spread positive actions in their own towns.,也就是Mike爱心午餐的目的是希望善意能得到传递,他的行为可以影响其他人,总结出来是答案【C】Follow his example,Mike希望其他人像他一样帮助关爱他人。
Q21: How are people all over country responding to what Mike is doing?
答案:【B】Sending him hand-made bags.
解析:相比于第20题,21题答案相对简单,其他的人们被Mike的行为所感动sending special handcrafted bags,此处的handcrafted手工制作的和选项里的home-made做同义转换,其他词未发生改变。
