A mother has won widespread praise for her quick and caring actions, which safely returned a lost three-year-old girl to her family.

It was an ordinary Monday morning. Jabril Walls had just dropped her kids off at school and was on her way to her grandmother’s house. Suddenly, she noticed a small child walking alone in the middle of the busy street. Alarmed, she immediately pulled over.

Walls stopped her car and used it to block the traffic so the girl would not get hurt. The moment she opened the door, the frightened little girl ran straight to her, crying for her parents. After calming the child down, Walls took her to her grandmother’s home. The girl was able to provide a clue: she lived in a grey-and-white house.

Together, the two of them took the girl to search nearby houses, but they failed to find anyone who knew the child. They then went to the local fire station and called the police for help. Before long, the girl was reunited with her family. Walls noted that the child appeared healthy and well cared for, and she believed the whole thing was simply an accident.

1.1.Where was Walls going when she found the lost girl?

A To her children’s school.

B To her grandma’s home.

C To a birthday party.

D To her office.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Jabril Walls had just dropped her kids off at school and was on her way to her grandmother’s house.”可知，Walls是在去她祖母家的路上发现那个走失女孩的，因此选择 B 项。A 项“去她孩子的学校”是她之前已经做完的事；C 项“去参加生日派对”是故事后续的发展，并非当时的目的地；D 项“去她的办公室”在文中没有提及。故选B。

2.2.Why did Walls block the traffic with her car?

A To stop the girl.

B To protect the girl.

C To call the police.

D To calm the girl.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“Walls stopped her car and used it to block the traffic so the girl would not get hurt.”可知，Walls用车挡住交通是为了防止女孩受伤，也就是为了保护她，因此选择 B 项。A 项“拦住女孩”与原文不符，她停车后女孩自己跑过来的；C 项“报警”是之后去消防站才做的事；D 项“安抚女孩”是她开门之后的行为，并非挡车的目的。故选B。

3.3. What information did the little girl provide?

A The colors of her house.

B Her parents’ phone number.

C The name of her street.

D The name of her school.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段最后一句“The girl was able to provide a clue: she lived in a grey-and-white house.”可知，女孩提供的线索是她住的房子颜色是灰白相间的，因此选择 A 项。B 项“父母的电话号码”、C 项“街道名称”以及 D 项“学校名称”在文中均未提到。故选A。

4.4. Who does the underlined phrase “the two” refer to?

A The firemen.

B Walls’ two children.

C Walls and her grandma.

D Walls’ parents.

解析：选C。C词意指代题。根据文章第三段“After calming the child down, Walls took her to her grandmother’s home.”以及第四段“Together, the two of them took the girl to search nearby houses…”可推断，Walls把女孩带到了她祖母家，随后是 Walls 和她的祖母两人一起带女孩去附近寻找，因此“the two”指代 Walls 和她的祖母，选择 C 项。A 项“消防员”是之后她们求助的对象；B 项“Walls 的两个孩子”和 D 项“Walls 的父母”在该语境中均未出现。故选C。

5.5. What kind of person is Jabril Walls?

A Careless and forgetful.

B Cold and unfriendly.

C Strict and serious.

D Helpful and warm-hearted.

解析：选D。D推理判断题。通读全文，Walls 在危急时刻停车保护陌生女孩、帮助寻找家人、事后仍与女孩家庭保持联系并被邀请参加生日派对，文章首尾也分别提到她的“quick and caring actions”和“kindness”。这些都能推断出她是一个乐于助人且热心肠的人，因此选择 D 项。A 项“粗心健忘”、B 项“冷漠不友好”和 C 项“严厉严肃”均与文章所展现的人物形象完全相反。故选D。
