Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】F

【5】E

【解析】

【1】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍孟加拉国地势较低，接近海平面；后句内容提到洪水泛滥造成的问题，由此判断空格内容提到了洪水问题，而F选项内容For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.恰好符合语境，起到承接作用，故选F。

【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。后句提到唯一的不同，由此可知这种船上的学校和陆地上的学校基本相同，判断A选项The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom.符合语境。

【3】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段介绍了这种船上学校的普遍使用，由此判断这是成功的，故C选项These boats have been a great success.可以起到统领本段的作用，选C。

【4】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍船上学校晚上能给学生和成年人提供额外的学习机会，而D选项Both of them can attend evening courses. 恰好是对上句的进一步解释，故选D。

【5】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句提到这种校船不仅仅提供课本，从而推断后句内容应涉及提供的其他方面，而G选项They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations是介绍校船给人们带来的好处，also是信息词，故选G。
