高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When Joshua Coombes got off the bus in Washington, D.C., on this past February, he didn’t set off for the usual tourist attractions along the National Mall. Instead, the London-based hairdresser (理发师) headed for the marble fountain where homeless people gather outside. Most travellers walk by without a second glance. So what Coombes did next may well have surprised them: He chatted with them, pulled out his scissors and gave them haircuts, free of charge.

Whether in London, New York or Washington, D.C., homelessness can seem like a problem too huge and difficult to deal with. But Coombes realised that he didn’t have to solve all of everyone’s problems to make an impact. Sometimes, a small luxury such as a haircut can go a long way in boosting someone’s dignity, he told The Washington Post.

Two years ago, he founded the campaign Do Something For Nothing. His mission: to make a positive impact by giving haircuts to homeless people he meets on city streets, connecting with them on a human level and sharing their stories on social media. So far he has cut the hair of hundreds of homeless people, including a few women.

For Coombes, the campaign is about the importance of human connections. He wants to bring people together, regardless of what their relations are, and he sees the simple act of conversation as a step toward strengthening ties between people. In an age when virtual interactions can replace a real sense of community, Coombes finds haircuts to be a simple but important way to connect with people physically and emotionally.

Coombes’s world travels are partially funded through companies and NGOs that commission him to speak about his campaign. As he devotes more time to it, he has steadily decreased the hours he spends in the salon at home. His most recent trip to the US was sponsored by Leesa Sleeps, a Virginia-based mattress company. He will leave for Barcelona soon and plans to return to the US in the next few months.

1.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The homeless people. B.The tour guides.

C.The travelers. D.The hairdressers.

2.What is the purpose of Coombes’s founding the campaign?

A.To make the homeless people more beautiful.

B.To increase the connections with homeless people.

C.To bring the homeless people together to the shelters.

D.To help the homeless people change the real sense of community.

3.What do we know about Coombes?

A.He dislikes usual tourist attractions.

B.He travels around the world with his own expenses.

C.He thinks people can take action to positively affect others’ life.

D.He goes away from home in order to travel around the country.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.A hairdresser travels with homeless people.

B.Homeless people are connecting together.

C.Companies work together to help homeless people.

D.A hairdresser helps homeless people through haircuts.
