一、阅读理解
Captain John Bunch loves to go fishing. In fact, Bunch loves fishing so much that he became a professional fishing guide decades ago and has remained one ever since. There is something, however, that Bunch loves even more. That is his country and the men and women who join the army to protect it. Ever since Bunch met a young soldier in 2019, who wanted to go on a fishing trip before he left the army, the Florida native has offered over 1 200 fishing trips to veterans(退伍军人), with all expenses paid.
And Bunch’s efforts to give back to those who have served their nation go even much further. Inspired by that fishing trip 11 years ago, he founded Operation Open Arms, which has since helped nearly 3 400 US troops and given out more than $12 million in direct benefits with his charity. Operation Open Arms also provides free weddings, vacations, and more leisurely activities to veterans, and can rely on a network of over 300 businesses and individual partners to get former soldiers anything they might need upon returning home from army.
The former marine’s heartwarming generosity is a result of his own experiences in the military and the pride he has for his country. "I do this because I love my country and I do this because America is the greatest country in the world," he told NBC’s Today Show. Bunch’s unwavering commitment goes so far that he once turned down an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled a fishing trip with one of his veterans. Even the military has recognized Bunch’s work of love, and earlier this year honored him and his organization with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award and the Army’s most prestigious civilian award.
1.What caused John Bunch to offer free fishing trips to veterans?
A.A young soldier’s desire to go on a fishing trip.
B. Working as a professional fishing guide.
C. Having served in the army.
D. Growing up in Florida.
2.What is Paragraph Two mainly about?
A. The achievements Operation Open Arms has made.
B. How Operation Open Arms was founded.
C. Activities Captain John Bunch has joined.
D. The missions of Operation Open Arms.
3.Which can best describe John Bunch’s personality?
A. Ambitious and talented. B. Responsible and patient.
C. Honest and determined. D. Warm-hearted and generous.
4.John Bunch didn’t accept George W. Bush’s invitation because___.
A. he thought little of him B. he didn’t want to see him
C. he had to take care of business D. he wanted to stay with veterans
【文章大意】钓鱼向导John Bunch不仅自己喜欢钓鱼,而且还为美国退伍军人安排很多次免费的钓鱼之旅,并为他们提供一些其他的福利。
1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Ever since Bunch met a young soldier in 2019, who wanted to go on a fishing trip before he left the army, the Florida native has offered over 1 200 fishing trips to veterans(退伍军人), with all expenses paid"可知,2019年,Captain John Bunch遇上一个年轻的士兵,士兵说他希望退役前能来一次钓鱼之旅。此后,Captain John Bunch为退伍军人安排了1 200多次免费的钓鱼之旅。故此题选A。
3.D 【解析】推理判断题。从短文中John Bunch为退伍军人安排免费的钓鱼之旅,和"provides free weddings..."等可知,John Bunch不仅友好,具有强烈的助人为乐精神,而且还成立慈善机构慷慨大方地帮助退伍军人。故选D。
4.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"he once turned down an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled a fishing trip with one of his veterans"可知,John Bunch曾经拒绝布什总统的邀请是因为他事先计划要和退伍军人一起去钓鱼。
