2023年高考英语阅读理解（议论文）专题练习（含答案） 1．阅读理解 On her first day teaching students from poor families at an after school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the school cafeteria. One of the workers explained that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after school meal might be the most food they would get all day. Kapasi, who attends private school, was very surprised. What's more, she made up her mind to help. "I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don't have to wait to grow up to fix it," says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind hearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school. About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low price meals, and those students' families have to pay for part of their food. When they don't have the money on any given day, the students might have to settle for an "alternative (可替代的) meal" such as a cheese sandwich. The app — which is getting financial (财政的) support from a GoFundMe page — provides anonymity (匿名) to those who receive lunch and donors. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation (推荐) from a school teacher, and no one else has to know. "I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using," says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district this fall. （1）Why does Kapasi want to create an app A．To teach kids how to help others. B．To practise her programming skills. C．To introduce her school to the public. D．To solve the problem of hunger in schools. （2）What does the underlined phrase "settle for" in Paragraph 3 probably mean A．Buy. B．Make. C．Accept. D．Offer. （3）What should a family do if they want to get help from Food for Thought A．Visit a GoFundMe page. B．Get in touch with Kapasi. C．Be recommended by teachers. D．Donate something else instead. （4）What can we infer about the users of Kapasi's app A．They won't lose face in using it. B．They will make money by using it. C．They will know who offers them help.
