参考答案

K。此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰hunger-relief organization，在所有备选词汇中，只有domestic“国内的”符合句意。domestic hunger-relief organization意为“国内的饥荒援救组织”。
问题 2 答案解析：
M。此处需要填入一个名词。ask…to do sth.表示“要求或呼吁某人或某组织、机构等去做某事”， 此句中填入名词communities符合句意。
问题 3 答案解析：
A。此处需要填入一个动词。文章讨论的是低收入群体人们的生存问题，因而survive“存活”符合文意。
问题 4 答案解析：
H。此处需要填入一个动词，其后须可接表示地点的内容，因而gather“聚集”符合文意。
问题 5 答案解析：
C。此处需填入一个及物动词。食品室是服务于城镇的，故选择serves。
问题 6 答案解析：
B。此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰名词towns，备选词汇中只有surrounding用在此处最为合适。surrounding towns意为“周边的城镇”。
问题 7 答案解析：
F。此处需要填入一个名词。in thewake of为固定词组，意为“随着……而来，作为……的结果”。 导致越来越多的家庭开始需要食物援助的原因应该是消极的，因而选择recession“(经济)衰退”。
问题 8 答案解析：
E。此处需要填入一个形容词或动词的被动形式。49和36%是精确的数字，故能够推断此处是经过调查得出的官方报道，it is reported意为“据报道”。
问题 9 答案解析：
G。此处需要填入一个表示某种关系范畴的名词。人们生活的基本单位通常是households'“家庭”， 而不是communities“社区”，因而选择households。
问题 10 答案解析：
J。介词短语on the edge表示“在某事物的边缘；在某方面比较窘迫”。文章提到，现在我们看到有三四份兼职的人们仍处于的边缘，很容易判断出应该填financially -词，意为“在经济方面”，说明他们的经济情况依旧很窘迫。
