Answer 1

答案：D;C;A;D;B
解析：

(1) 题干意为“卡尔喜欢他的工作，因为……”。看原文第一个人物Carl...中的最后一句话He likes...意为“他喜欢他的工作是因为他可以到许多不同地方去旅游”，故选D。 (2) 题干意为“玛丽……所以她的学生喜欢她”。看原文最后一个人物Mary...中的倒数第二句She is...意为“她很和蔼并且非常乐于帮助他们”，故选C。 (3) 题干意为“下面哪项是错误的？”A项意为“安已经帮助妈妈们照顾新生的宝宝4年”；根据第二个人物Ann...中的最后一句This month...意为“这个月，她正在帮妈妈们照顾新生的宝宝”，故不是4年，而是这个月，但她做了4年的护士了。故A项错误，B、C、D在文中都能找到相应的依据。 (4) 题干意为“support一词在短文中的意思是……”，support出现在Joe一段内，该句意为“他生活得很好，并供养着一家四口人”，故support意为“供养”，故选D。 (5) 题干意为“从这个短文，我们可以了解到……一直喜爱他们的工作”。Carl一段在第三句用了always，Ann一段用了likes....very much，Mary一段用了is always proud of...一直以……为自豪，故是认为“一直喜欢”，而Joe一段第三句用了most...大部分时间喜欢，并非一直。
