(2020·黑龙江省牡丹江一中高三学年上学期检测)When I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose. I remembered the moment when I took the rose from his hand. I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.
From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school's Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive_me_up_the_wall.
These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person's honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the neverending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else's life.
篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者由小时候第一次经历随机的善意行为得到启发，加入了学校的Red Crescent Society。后来作者想把这种随机的善意行为的理念传播到全世界。

D．It gave the author strength and hope.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering ‘I want to be like him’ to myself as I watched him walking away.”(我笑得合不拢嘴，看着他走开，我低声对自己说：“我想成为他那样的人。”)可知，受男孩送玫瑰的善意行为的影响，作者决定效仿。故选B。

A．To be a volunteer. B．To live a happy life.
C．To make others smile. D．To have a good time.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school's Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer.”可知，作者加入学校的Red Crescent Society是为了让别人微笑。故选C。
3．Which can replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?
A．Make me very angry.
B．Bring difficulty to me.

答案：A 词义猜测题。根据上文“Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while”中的but可知，前后文表示转折，即通常作者会保持沉默，忽略他们的话，但周围人的言语偶尔还是会让作者非常生气。故可推测画线部分短语意为“使我非常生气”。故选A。
