【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

来自中国的我们，仅仅知道从水龙头放干净的水，很少有人知道它来自哪里。世界上有很多地方，人们要走出很远才能拿回水，大多数都是脏水。一个叫Just a Drop的组织，给很多人送去了干净的水。

【1】句意：日复一日，成千上万的贫穷国家的孩子们不得不花费好几个小时走好几里路去挑水。

此空为谓语动词，备选词汇中spend表示“花费”，“spend+时间+doing sth. ”表示“花费时间做某事”。故选B。

【2】句意：一个叫做Just a Drop的国际性水援助组织给世界上一些最贫穷地方建水井、水管和厕所来提供干净水。

此空为谓语动词，备选词汇中provides表示“提供”，用法：provide sth. to sb./sp.意为“提某物给某人/某地”。故选E。

【3】句意：到目前为止，这个组织已经帮助了150万人。

此句中并不缺少主谓宾等成分，因此此空可能为状语。备选词汇中so far表示“到目前为止”，时间状语，通常用于现在完成时中。故选A。

【4】句意：在Just a Drop在他们村庄建水井之前，11岁的Betty每天要带着装满脏池塘水的两个沉重的罐子走出两英里。

结合句意可知，此处表示“装满脏池塘水的两个沉重的罐子”，备选词汇中full of表示“装满”，符合句意。故选D。
