问题     Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.
    Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There were charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.
    It was much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here. "
    Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves," he decided. "That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world. "
    As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said. "You’ve got great timing!"
    "Just being neighborly,"Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up." Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that’s a good place to start. "
It is known from the passage that______.
选项 A、Mark played an active part in community activities
B、the city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life quality
C、visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problems
D、many people were discouraged by the many problems facing them
答案C
解析 从第二段第一句“Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls．(马克看了看用胶带粘在墙上的图表)”中可以判断出C(Visual aids were used to display the seriousness of theproblems．直观的辅助手段被用来说明问题的重要性。)是正确答案。“直观的辅助手段”指的就是墙上的图表。文章第一段第一句Mark felt it was time for him to take part inhis community，……说明马克以前不太关心社区的事情，所以不能选A。the falling oflife quality是女议员主持开会讨论的话题，这并不是说她应该为此承担责任，所以不能选B。本题中的responsible for不是“负责，领导”的意思(如He is responsible for a depart—ment)，而是指谁的过失或责任(如YOU must be responsible for your own behavior．)。选项D文中没有涉及。
