Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

來自中國的我們，僅僅知道從水龍頭放干凈的水，很少有人知道它來自哪里。世界上有很多地方，人們要走出很遠(yuǎn)才能拿回水，大多數(shù)都是臟水。一個(gè)叫Just a Drop的組織，給很多人送去了干凈的水。

【1】句意：日復(fù)一日，成千上萬的貧窮國家的孩子們不得不花費(fèi)好幾個(gè)小時(shí)走好幾里路去挑水。

此空為謂語動詞，備選詞匯中spend表示“花費(fèi)”，“spend+時(shí)間+doing sth. ”表示“花費(fèi)時(shí)間做某事”。故選B。

【2】句意：一個(gè)叫做Just a Drop的國際性水援助組織給世界上一些最貧窮地方建水井、水管和廁所來提供干凈水。

此空為謂語動詞，備選詞匯中provides表示“提供”，用法：provide sth. to sb./sp.意為“提某物給某人/某地”。故選E。

【3】句意：到目前為止，這個(gè)組織已經(jīng)幫助了150萬人。

此句中并不缺少主謂賓等成分，因此此空可能為狀語。備選詞匯中so far表示“到目前為止”，時(shí)間狀語，通常用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)中。故選A。

【4】句意：在Just a Drop在他們村莊建水井之前，11歲的Betty每天要帶著裝滿臟池塘水的兩個(gè)沉重的罐子走出兩英里。

結(jié)合句意可知，此處表示“裝滿臟池塘水的兩個(gè)沉重的罐子”，備選詞匯中full of表示“裝滿”，符合句意。故選D。
