Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didnt step up to help, no one likely would.However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didnt want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms，” said Payne.Paynes selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention. “I am a regular person，” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers. “It all sounded like a rich person did this, but Im just a little black girl from the South Side.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位普通的芝加哥女士受到她丈夫经历的触动，为防止无家可归者在大街上被冻死，决定为他们订旅馆的房间。她的无私善举传遍全国。1What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ALocals living on the street.BThe homeless freezing to death.CThe extreme weather.DThe shelter for the homeless.B解析：代词指代题。根据第一段最后一句“Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldnt find shelter for the night.”可知，最近芝加哥各地的无家可归者如果找不到过夜的地方，就会被冻死。结合画线词所在句可知，幸好，一位当地的女士拒绝让此发生。据此可推知，画线词that指代“The homeless freezing to death”。2How did Candice Payne help the homeless people?ABy drawing public attention.BBy giving them money directly.CBy taking them to her own house.DBy buying hotel rooms for them.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.”可知，Candice Payne最终决定为这些无家可归者订旅馆的房间以免他们被冻死，故D项正确。3What may contribute to Paynes nice act?AHer husbands past experiences.BThe requests from the homeless.CHer desire to become famous.DThe coldness of local hotels.A解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life.
