【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了Adam Braun建立了一个旨在帮助所有孩子接受教育的组织。
1.to make 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:它的目标是确保所有的孩子都有机会接受教育。此处用不定式作表语。
2.a 解析:考查冠词。句意:Adam Braun在印度游览时,一个女孩在街上拦住了他,向他要钱。girl为可数名词单数,且此处是第一次提到,故应用不定冠词a。
3.most 解析:考查副词的最高级。句意:他问她在世界上她最想要什么。根据句意及空后的“of all”可知,此处表示“最想要”,故应用副词的最高级形式。
4.reality 解析:考查名词。句意:这个女孩从来没有上过学,这是全世界5 700万孩子的现状。此处定冠词“the”后应跟名词。故用reality,意为“事实,现实”。
5.hers 解析:考查代词。句意:毕业后,Adam Braun从来没有忘记这个女孩和她的问题。介词of后应跟名词性物主代词,表示“她的”,故此处应用hers。
6.to 解析:考查介词。此处考查固定搭配have access to sth.“有机会使用……”,故应用介词to。
7.where 解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词other places,且在从句中作地点状语,故应用where。
8.actually 解析:考查副词。句意:我们努力确保这个项目不只是孩子们漂亮的图片和视频,还有我们真正地看到课堂上令人惊叹的成果。修饰动词应用副词actually。
9.kids 解析:考查名词的单复数。句意:Braun说,这就是在Pencils of Promise学校的孩子们从一个年级到下个年级进步迅速的原因。根据句意及谓语动词progress可知,此处应用kid的复数形式。
10.has helped 解析:考查动词的时态。句意:从那时起,它已经帮助了非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的22 000多个孩子。根据时间状语“Since then”可知,此处应用现在完成时。
