收录时间:2021-11-28    答题:高一英语(计老师)

【题目】    When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.

While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.

The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”

In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.

“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.

Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.

“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman.  “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”

What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.

Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.

本文是一篇记叙文。女孩娜塔莉在上七八年级的时候受到了同学的霸凌,成为了不被同学接受的人。九年级的时候她去了新的学校,同学们都很好,她不再受到欺凌。不过,她从来没有忘记这些恶霸带来的可怕的感觉。因此,每当她看到孩子们自己吃饭时,她都会邀请他们过来。如今, 16岁的娜塔莉创建了一个名为“Sit With Us”的应用程序,致力于改善这种霸凌现象,帮助那些感到孤独的孩子。

1

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“while in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.”可知娜塔莉在七八年级也就是12岁的时候被同班同学欺凌。她遭到了人身攻击。一个同学甚至把一把刀举到她的脖子上。也就是说她被同学伤害了。故选B项。

2

词义猜测题。根据后文 “She ate alone in the dining room every day.”可知娜塔莉每天都是一个人在餐厅吃饭。这说明没人和她相处,欺凌把她变成了不被别人接受的人。由此可知“outcast”意思是“不被接受的人”,故选D项。

3

细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.”可知和我们一起坐这个软件可以帮助那些感到孤独的学生找到一群人一起出去玩。孩子们还可以帮忙终结欺凌,并邀请其他人来吃午餐。这样,没有朋友一起坐的人可以找到友好的人一起吃饭。也就是说Sit With Us通过在午餐时给孩子提供支持来帮助他们。故选D项。

4

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said,”可知娜塔莉希望这款软件能够接触到尽可能多的孩子,也就是她希望鼓励更多的孩子用这款软件。故选A项。
