六、阅读理解。
The Seine is a beautiful river which goes through France. However, the Seine was seriously polluted. Raphael wanted to clean the river.

Cleaning the river was a big job. Raphael fished rubbish out of the river. He did it nearly every weekend for many years. He fished with his dad. They could collect a lot of rubbish in a single day.
Raphael learned about cleaning rivers from the Internet. Once, he found a video. People were fishing metal(金属) objects out of rivers. They used ropes tied to magnets(磁铁). That Christmas, Raphael asked his parents for supplies. He got some ropes, a hook(鱼钩), and a powerful magnet. The magnet was very strong. It could attract metal objects easily.
When he began, fishing for metal was just a weekend activity. But Raphael soon saw just how much rubbish there was at the bottom of the river. He wanted to do more. "It became like a full-time job," he said.
Raphael won an award for his efforts(努力). Raphael is confident about his progress now. A section of the Seine is clearer than the rest of the river. That is where he first started fishing for metal.
It's impossible to clean the river just by Raphael and his dad, but he won't give up.

【分析】
这是一篇人物故事类阅读理解,解题时我们可以遵循先通读全文把握故事主线(主人公Raphael主动清理被污染的塞纳河的经历),再根据每个题干的要求回原文精准定位信息的思路:
1. 第1题询问Raphael想要清理塞纳河的原因,直接定位文章开头第一段找因果对应内容即可;
2. 第2题是图文匹配题,需要定位文中描述Raphael清理河流所用工具的段落,匹配符合工具特征的插图选项;
3. 第3题要求找出体现Raphael努力成果的段落,逐段梳理各段核心内容,找到描述他获得正向反馈、河流环境改善的段落即可;
4. 第4题是人物品质推理题,逐一核对选项中的品质是否在文中有对应的行为支撑,排除有依据的选项,剩下的就是不符合要求的答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题:根据原文第一段“However, the Seine was seriously polluted. Raphael wanted to clean the river.”可知,Raphael想要清理塞纳河的直接原因是河流被严重污染。选项A获奖是后续的结果并非他清理河流的初衷,选项B文中从未提及新社区志愿者相关内容,选项C和爸爸周末打捞垃圾是清理的方式而非目的,均排除,选D。
2. 图文匹配题:根据原文第三段“People were fishing metal objects out of rivers. They used ropes tied to magnets. That Christmas, Raphael asked his parents for supplies. He got some ropes, a hook, and a powerful magnet.”可知,Raphael清理河流的工具是绑着强力磁铁的绳索、鱼钩,用来打捞水中的金属垃圾,对应符合该工具特征的插图为选项C。
3. 段落作用判断题:逐一梳理各段核心内容,第5段提到Raphael因自己的努力获奖,他最开始打捞的那一段塞纳河比其余河段更清澈,这正是他多年清理河流取得的成果,对应选项C。
4. 推理判断题:文中提到Raphael多年几乎每个周末都和父亲打捞垃圾,体现了他勤奋、乐于助人的品质;他从网上学习清理方法,利用绳索、磁铁自制清理工具,体现了他富有创造力的特点,全文没有任何内容能体现他懒惰,因此选D。
