Three nights a week, I ____  in the kitchen of the shelter along with four other volunteers. We planned and ____ for 45 people hot meals with vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit. The homeless people____ this good food because many of them usually didn’t eat well.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了大学生做志愿者帮助他人并从中学会了很多的故事。

1.1】D 考查动词。A.studying学习；B．planning计划；C．holding握住；D．taking拿走、带走。

句意：那年暑假我没有工作，只在暑假学校上两节课。take only two classes只上两节课。故答案为：D。

2.2】A考查动词。A.helped帮助；B．raised提升、喂养；C．appeared显现、出现；D．washed洗刷。根据下文所述，一周三个晚上我和其他四个志愿者在厨房里帮忙。应选A项，意为“帮忙（做饭）”。D项“洗刷”不确切。

3.3】C 考查动词。A.ordered命令、预定饭菜；B．bought买；C．cooked做饭；D．accomplished完成。cook hot meals for 45 people意为“为45口人做热腾腾的饭”。ordered和bought虽用法上正确，但与上文提到的help in the kitchen不相符。故选C。

4.4】B考查动词。A.appealed吸引；B．required需要、要求；C．collected收集；D．requested请求。作者对这些“无家可归者”持同情态度，应选B项，即“需要食用这样丰盛的饭菜”，否则前后不吻合。

5.5】D考查动词。A.wanted想要；B．had要；C．owned拥有；D．enjoyed喜爱。从very nice, talked to a lot of… 等来看，作者应该是“喜欢自己的义务工作”。故选D。

6.6】C考查名词。A.decisions决定；B．wishes希望；C．friends朋友；D．amateurs业余爱好者。

根据下文nice elderly housewife以及like me等判断，作者与另外四位志愿者关系融洽，故选择C项。require此处意为“需要”。

7.7】B考查动词。A.struck袭击，击打；B．filled填满；C．deposited存放；D．provided。fill me with sympathy使我充满了同情之心。provide sb. with sth.“供应某人某物”，含义不妥。

8.8】D考查名词。A.habits习惯；B．hardships苦难；C．difficulties困难；D．problems问题，麻烦事。从下文others only had bad… 来分析，此处为“有些人存有嗜酒、吸毒问题”。habit通常与of搭配。故选D。

9.9】A考查名词。A.luck运气；B．pain痛苦；C．experience经验，经历；D．loss损失。

从下面所举事例可知答案为A。

10.10】D考查形容词。A.challenging挑战性的；B．delicate精致的；C．skilled技能的；D．new新的。前句提到lost her job，所以她想找一份新的工作，故选D项。

11.11】A考查形容词。A.old老的，旧的；B．poor贫穷的；C．sick恶心的，病的；D．dishonest不诚实的。从One woman worked for almost 30 years可知答案选A。

12.12】A 考查动词。A.went去；．B.moved移动；C．came来；D．worked工作。go on job hunting意为“继续找工作”，切合题意。故选A。

13.13】B 考查副词。A.partly部分地，不完全地；B．still仍然；C．almost几乎；D．extremely极其，非常。她仍然不能找到一份工作。still“仍然，依然”，句意通顺。

14.14】D 考查名词。A.block街区；B．cottage农舍；C．building建筑物；D．flat公寓。flat意为“公寓”，另外三项不符合这位妇女当时所处的情况。故选D。

15.15】A 考查形容词。A. afraid ；B．unbearable不能容忍的；C．dull迟钝的；D．awkward笨拙的。afraid与alone, homeless相匹配。故选A。
