【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了一位叫Julia Hill的美國女性為了阻止紅杉樹被砍伐，在樹上建了一個樹屋住了兩年零八天，最終成功保護(hù)紅杉樹的故事。

【1】句意：森林里有很多紅杉樹。

考查名詞辨析。city城市；town城鎮(zhèn)；forest森林；country國家。根據(jù)前一句中“…a company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California.”可知一家公司想砍伐加利福利亞的一個森林中的一部分，所以這里承接上文，提及森林，故選C。

【2】句意：茱莉亞對此不高興。

考查形容詞辨析。excited激動的；happy高興的；wonderful精彩的；careful小心的。根據(jù)下文茱莉亞的言行“She went to California and climbed up the tree…the company can’t cut it down.”和建樹屋等可知，如果樹被砍倒，茱莉亞會不開心，故選B。

【3】句意：她住在小樹屋里，她的朋友們非常樂于助人——每天給她準(zhǔn)備食物。

考查動詞辨析。slept睡覺；studied學(xué)習(xí)；worked工作；lived居住。根據(jù)前一句“At the beginning, Julia planned to stay in the tree for two weeks.”可知茱莉亞打算在樹上待兩周，那么樹屋就是她居住的地方，故選D。

【4】句意：她住在小樹屋里，她的朋友們非常樂于助人——每天給她準(zhǔn)備食物。

考查名詞辨析。food食物；money錢；friends朋友；music音樂。根據(jù)上文“At the beginning, Julia planned to stay in the tree for two weeks.”可知茱莉亞打算在樹上待兩周，根據(jù)常識可以判斷出，樹屋空間狹小，不便于做飯等，所以她的朋友們都很樂意幫她準(zhǔn)備食物，故選A。

【5】句意：她用手機(jī)與家人和新聞記者通話。

考查名詞（短語）辨析。tape磁帶；board木板；mobile phone手機(jī)；camera相機(jī)。結(jié)合語境和空后talk to her family and to news reporters可知，茱莉亞在樹上，只能用手機(jī)和他人聯(lián)系，故選C。

【6】句意：她日夜待在樹上。

考查時間狀語。for a time暫時；every time每次；now and then偶爾；day and night日以繼夜。根據(jù)最后一段中“Finally, after two years and eight days in the tree, Julia Hill…walked on the ground again.”可知在樹屋住了兩年零八天后，茱莉亞才下來，可以在推斷出在這之前，她日日夜夜都在樹上待著，故選D。

【7】句意：他們試圖阻止她。

考查動詞辨析。believe相信；stop阻止；change改變；excuse原諒。根據(jù)前一句“Many people helped her, but other people didn’t.”可知很多人幫助她，但也有人不支持，由此推斷出，不支持她的人則會阻止她，故選B。

【8】句意：直升機(jī)噪音很大，而且風(fēng)也很大。

考查形容詞辨析。noisy嘈雜的；heavy重的；high高的；safe安全的。根據(jù)常識可知，直升機(jī)的噪音很大，故選A。

【9】句意：最終，她成功了。

考查形容詞辨析。rude粗魯?shù)模?/span>angry生氣的；hungry饑餓的；successful成功的。根據(jù)下一句“the company told her that they wouldn’t cut down the redwood.”可知紅杉樹不會被砍伐，所以說茱莉亞成功了，故選D。

【10】句意：終于，在樹上待了兩年零八天之后，茱莉亞·希爾從樹上爬了下來，又走到了地上。

考查副詞辨析。up向上；down向下；in在里面；out在室外。根據(jù)空后walked on the ground again可知茱莉亞最終從樹上下來了，故選B。
