A

When Robert Sabuda was eight years old, he looked through a book in his dentist's office and turned the pages quickly. Then he was transported to another dimension (维度) — the three-dimensional world of pop-ups (立体活动图). The book was heavier, thicker — unlike any book he had ever seen. It took his breath away. “When I opened it, I was shocked and pleased when something jumped right off the page，” says Sabuda. “I forgot all about the dentist.” But he never forgot about pop-ups.

Robert's family and friends began to give him pop-up books for gifts. He took them apart and put them back together to see how they worked. Before long, he began making his own pop-up books and giving them as gifts.

With each pop-up creation, Robert improved his pop-up engineering skills and discovered the value of failing.

“With each failure.” Sabuda says, “I learned a better solution, one that I wouldn't have ever imagined.”

Clearly, Sabuda was on to something special. One of his high school art teachers, Mrs. Lucas, took a special interest in his abilities.

“She taught me how to draw, paint, and make prints，” says Sabuda. Mrs. Lucas also helped him go to the Pratt Institute, a famous art school in New York City. What Sabuda learned at the Pratt Institute

allowed him to continue his exploration of three-dimensional art.

During his third year at Pratt, Sabuda took a summer internship (实习) at a publishing company, where he learned how children's books are created, and realized what he wanted to do. As part of his job, he opened packages containing the artwork of children's book illustrators (插图画家) such as Barbara Cooney and James Marshall.

“I decided there and then that I wanted to be a children's book illustrator，” Sabuda says. “It was something that made my heart beat faster！”

After college, jobs designing packages and coloring books started him on his way. The rest is pop-up history. If his designs excite the child inside him, Sabuda feels that kids who pick up his books will be just as excited.

(2014·马鞍山市高二检测)

A little homeless girl stood crying near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was too crowded. “ I can't go to Sunday school.” She cried to the priest (牧师) as he walked by. The priest took her inside. The child was very happy because they found a room for her. She went to bed that night thinking of the children who had no place to sleep or pray in.

Two years later, the girl died there. As her little body was being moved, a worn and red purse was found, which she had found in the rubbish. Inside the purse was 57 cents and a note, written in childish handwriting,

which read ：“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.”

After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion (热爱) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it. It was read by a wealthy man who offered the church a piece of land worth many thousands of dollars. When told that the church could not pay much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girl's gift had increased to $250,000. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, visit Temple Baptist Church, Temple University, and the Sunday school building. No child here is left outside on Sunday school days again. One of the rooms of the Sunday school building is hanged with the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents made such a remarkable and real history.

4．How did the girl feel when she thought of other homeless kids? A. Joyful. C. Sympathetic.

B. Lucky. D. Shameful.

答案与解析 C 推理判断题。由文章第一段最后一句可知小女孩同情其他无家可归的儿童。

5．The author's purpose of writing this passage is probably to ________.

A. tell people to give money to the church mentioned in the article B. try to make people remember that little girl and that priest forever C. look forward to having more people to go to the church to pray for the best

D. express admiration to the little girl showing her unselfish love to others

答案与解析 D 写作目的题。小姑娘无私的爱心促成了the Sunday
