28、 time to numerous charities and community projects.”可知，她也把许多空余时间用于大量的慈善事业和社区项目，由此推断该空应该介绍她平时做的工作，故B项“她白天全职工作，周末卖手工制作的皮革礼物”与下文语意衔接。2F根据前文“Then one day Marie received some shocking news from her doctor.She had cancer，and it was spreading rapidly.”可知，玛丽从她的医生那里得知她患有癌症，而且扩散得很快。由此判断后句应该和她对疾病的治疗有关，所以F项“她几乎
29、没有足够的钱用于她需要的治疗”可以承接上文。3D根据前句“Many people she had touched in caring ways demonstrated appreciation for Maries life.”可知，许多她曾经关心过的人都表达了对玛丽生活的感恩之情，而通过后句内容的转折可以推断D项“玛丽没能活到账单全部付清的那一天”符合语境。4A前句提到爱和感恩的精神，而后句是介绍无私奉献是玛丽一生所表现出的美德，她无私奉献的精神在她死后仍留存于那些认识她、爱她的人心中，由此推断该空内容应该与幸福、爱以及感恩有关。故判断A项符合语境。5G根据后句“Rather，it is an attitude that comes from appreciating what we already have.”可知，幸福是一种“感恩我们所拥有的”态度，而不是仅仅来自物质财富，故G选项符合语境。
