【解答】(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)根據(jù)第二段Ourprogramnowhasalmost3,700member

groupsacrossthestatehere,(我們的項(xiàng)目現(xiàn)在在全州有將近3700個(gè)成員團(tuán)體，)可知，這

個(gè)項(xiàng)目在德克薩斯州有約3700個(gè)成員團(tuán)體，故選：Ao

(2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)#4中的Youneedtobeatleast8yearsoldtotakepartin.(你需要至

少八歲才能加入。)可知，一個(gè)七歲大的孩子不能領(lǐng)養(yǎng)一條公路，故選：Bo

(3)句子排序題。根據(jù)下面#(1)下面的句子It'sourvolunteerswhokeepthisTexas

-bomprogramgoingstrong,andyourhelpisneedednowmorethanever：(是我們的志愿

者讓這個(gè)誕生于德克薩斯州的項(xiàng)目繼續(xù)強(qiáng)大下去，現(xiàn)在比以往任何時(shí)候都更需要你們的

幫助：)可知，#(1)指的是這個(gè)項(xiàng)目“做什么"，所以#(1)應(yīng)填“d"；#(2)下面的

句子Families,businesses,groups,schools...everyoneshouldtakeprideinbeingamember.

(家庭，商家，團(tuán)體，學(xué)校……每個(gè)人應(yīng)該作為這個(gè)成員而自豪。)可知，本段說的是”

誰應(yīng)該加入這個(gè)項(xiàng)目"，所以#(2)應(yīng)選a；#(3)下面第三條It'sofree,easywaytohelp

beautifyenvironment.(這是一種幫助美化環(huán)境的免費(fèi)的、簡(jiǎn)單的方式。)可知，本段說明

為什么要加入這個(gè)團(tuán)體，所以#(3)處填"b"；根據(jù)#(4)下面第二條第一行Groupleaders

mustholdsafetymeetingswithgroupmembersbeforeeachclean-up.(團(tuán)體領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者必須在每

次清潔活動(dòng)之前開一次安全會(huì)議)可知，#(4)處說的是“安全第一”，所以#(4)處應(yīng)

填”c"；因此#1、#2、#3和#4標(biāo)題分別用“怎么辦？誰應(yīng)該收養(yǎng)？為什么收養(yǎng)？安全第一。

”比較合適，即應(yīng)填d-a-b-c,故選：Bo

(4)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)#(1)的最后一段Adopt-A-Highwaysignswillbeputupwithyour

group'snameattheroadsideinyouradoptedarea,whichmakesitdifferentandmeaningfulfor

you.(在你收養(yǎng)的地區(qū)，路邊會(huì)掛上你的團(tuán)體名稱的叫攵養(yǎng)公路”標(biāo)志，這對(duì)你來說是不同

的，有意義的。)可知，這個(gè)項(xiàng)目有特別之處是你的小組的名字將被張貼在你收養(yǎng)的地區(qū)，

故選：Do

(5)文章來源題。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知，這一個(gè)政府提出的“領(lǐng)養(yǎng)一條公路”計(jì)劃，為的是

號(hào)召全民一起來保護(hù)環(huán)境，因此這篇文章最有可能來自政府網(wǎng)站，故選：Ao
