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，人們要走出很遠才能拿回水，大多數(shù)都是臟水。一個叫Just a Drop的組織，給很多人送去了干凈的水。

【1】句意：日復一日，成千上萬的貧窮國家的孩子們不得不花費好幾個小時走好幾里路去挑水。

此空為謂語動詞，備選詞匯中spend表示“花費”，“spend+時間+doing sth. ”表示“花費時間做某事”。故選B。

【2】句意：一個叫做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”，時間狀語，通常用于現(xiàn)在完成時中。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沉重的罐子”，備選詞匯中full of表示“裝滿”，符合句意。故選D。
