Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.
After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.
Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.
The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.

参考答案：1-5 CBACB 1. 【答案】C
【考点】细节判断题
【详解】在第一段的第三句话，When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. 当Maggie还很小的时候，她的父亲被一个贼杀死了。我们可以判断出，Maggie的父亲去世时，她还很小。故C为正确答案。 2.【答案】B
【考点】细节推理题
【详解】从题干可以看出，该题为反向选择题。找出选项中与文章中意思不符的说法。从第一段我们得知，Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house. Maggie的母亲曾经是奴隶，而并没有说Maggie是奴隶。第一段最后一句说，She was a very good student, especially in math. Maggie的数学很好，符合C；第二段的第二句she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons我们知道Maggie教过书，有两个孩子，符合A。只有B，说Maggie曾经做过奴隶，是文中没有提到的。故B为正确答案。 3. 【答案】A
【考点】细节判断题 【详解】从题干中我们知道，该题还是关于对Maggie的判断，A是说她非常热爱帮助非籍美国人，也就是美国的黑人。而第二段的最后两句话，Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.我们得知，Maggie加入了一个组织并热爱组织里的工作，而该组织正是帮助非籍美国人的，并认为非籍美国人也应该彼此帮助。故A是正确答案。 4. 【答案】C 【考点】指代题
【详解】首先要定位impoverished一词在文章第一段的位置。然后，看还该单词句子的前后句。上一句是说，Maggie的母亲曾是个奴隶，而父亲早早过世。而后一句是说，Maggie的母亲帮人洗衣养活孩子。所以，我们可以猜出，她的家庭生活贫困。只有C选项poor（贫穷）的意思最为接近。故C是正确答案。 5. 【答案】B 【考点】推理题
【详解】从文章最后一段，我们了解到最为财政官的Maggie对该组织进行了大胆改革，使得财务状况好转。而该段的最后一句话，Now Walker was ready for her next big step. 现在她要准备采取下一个重大措施了。我们可以推测出她将要实施一个新的项目了。故B为正确答案。
