二.阅读理解（共15题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面三篇材料，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

A

I knew Marie for many years.She was a single mother of two children.They lived in rural Missouri.She worked full-time during the day and sold handcrafted leather gifts on weekends.She also gave much free time to many charities and community projects.

some shocking news from her doctor.She had cancer,and it was spreading quickly.She didn’t have enough money to put a cent in the medical treatments she would need.Soon,Marie saw what she had always known:although she was not wealthy inmaterial(物质),she already had the most valuable things on earth:hundreds in her community and nearby areas teamed up to help her and her family.

Many people she had touched in caring ways showed appreciation for Marie’s life.Marie did not live to see the day when her bills were fully paid.However,she lived long enough to feel the love of those she had cheerfully served.

The spirits of love andgratitude(感激)will become more and more when they are shared.Happiness is the result of sharing love and gratitude.Giving selflessly was a value that Marie showed all her life,and her spirit of giving lived after her in those who knew and loved her.

All her life,Marie had showed the truth of this simple rule:happiness will not come from material,wealth or fortune.Rather,it is an attitude that comes from appreciating what we already have.We can find the happiness we seek if we will first share it with others.Then—and only then—we will have the most valuable possessions on earth:love,happiness,and increasing gratitude.

A.at last,Maria died without any money to get the medical treatments

( )19.What kind of value did Maria show for her life in this passage?

The poor are very wonderful people.One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street.And one of them was in a most terrible condition,and I told the sisters:You take care of the other three.I take care of this one who looked worse.So I did for her all that my love can do.I put her in bed,and there was such a beautiful smile on her face.She took hold of my hand as she said just the words“thank you”and she died.I thought to myself and asked myself what I would say if I was in her place.And my answer was very simple.I would have tried to think a little about myself.I would have said that I am hungry,I am dying,I am cold,I am in pain,or something,but she gave me much more—she gave me hergrateful(感激的)love.And she died with a smile on her face.

Another man whom we picked up from thedrain(阴沟、下水道),half eaten with worms,said:“I have lived like an animal in the street,but I am going to die like an angel,loved and cared for.”And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that,who could die like that withoutblaming（责备）anybody,without cursing anybody,without comparing anything.Like an angel—this is the greatness of our people.And that is why we believe what Jesus had said:I was hungry,I was naked,I was homeless,I was unwanted,unloved,uncared for,and you did it to me.

So I think that in our family we don’t need bombs and guns,to destroy,to bring peace,just get together,love one another,bring that peace,that joy,that strength of presence of each other in the home.

And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace,I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home.Because I believe that love begins at home,and if we can make a home for the poor,I think that more and more love will spread.And so let us always meet each other with a smile,for the smile is the beginning of love,and once we begin to love each other naturally,we want to do something.
