31、s.”可知，孩子們用他們從波蘭同學(xué)那里學(xué)來的波蘭語為老人翻譯，故老人和孩子們之間講的是波蘭語。 2．選B　段落大意題。在第三段中，作者高度贊揚(yáng)了孩子們面對緊急情況時(shí)所表現(xiàn)出來的機(jī)智和勇氣。 3．選D　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“they feel that the burden of responsibility is lifted from their shoulders”．可推測，人們感覺責(zé)任不在自己肩上是因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為其他人會(huì)“參與救助”。 4．選A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段中的“This already exists in France ... can do so.”可知，在法國，人
