30、help the homeless.”和下文中的“Wearing his red superhero cape,Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit,Michigan”可知,设空处起承上启下的作用,由于Ewan想打扮成超人的样子来帮助无家可归的人,所以他的父母为他筹划了一个帮助他人的日子,在那天他为饥饿的人们送出了70包午餐。2.A根据下文中的“People donated money and supplies,and Ewan took them to those in need”可
31、知,关于Ewan做好事的故事流传开来,人们会把钱和物品捐给Ewan,再由他送给那些需要帮助的人。A项符合此处语境。3.G联系上文中的“Another time,a businessman donated six turkeys for Thanksgiving”及下文中的“In the end, he says,we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”可知,有一次,一名商人在感恩节捐了六只火鸡,Ewan在父母的帮助下通过网络筹集到了更多的火鸡。G项在这里起承上启下的衔接作用。4.D根据上文中的“Its not hard
32、 to help people.doing the garden”可知,做好事并不难,每一件生活中的小事都可以让别人感到快乐。D项是对上文的总结。5.B根据下文中的“No matter what,Ewan says,I will always keep helping people.”可知,Ewan将继续帮助他人,他永远都不会脱下他的斗篷。此处的“斗篷”代表着超人,即一种乐于助人的精神。B项与下文是语义上的重复,故选B项。三、1.to be考查不定式做宾语的用法。be thought to be.意为“被认为是”。2.Having spent考查动词-ing形式做状语的用法。设空处做状语,又因
33、为he与spend之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且spend所表示的动作发生在主句谓语动作之前,故填Having spent。3.became考查一般过去时。由后面的in 1928可知,设空处是对过去事实的描述,应用一般过去时,故填became。4.written考查过去分词做定语的用法。books后跟定语,又因为write与books之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且write所表示的动作已完成,故填written。5.songs考查名词复数。由后面的are可知,应填名词复数形式songs。6.on/upon考查介词。be based on/upon意为“以为基础”。7.him考查代词。设空处做helped的宾语,故填him。8.successful考查形容词做表语的用法。设空处做表语,意为“成功的”,故填successful。9.that/which考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词company,且在从句中做主语,故填that或which。10.the考查固定短语。at the age of.意为“在岁时”。
