答案： 41. D [考查形容词。根据第二段的“unpaid student lunch debts”“able to have lunch”“are stuffed”可知，此处指 Strickland 还记得四年级时饥饿是什么感受。alone 意为“孤苦伶仃，无依无靠，孤独，寂寞”；helpless 意为“无自理能力的，不能自立的，无助的”；poor 意为“贫穷的，贫寒的，清贫的”；hungry 意为“饥饿的，挨饿的”。]
42. B [考查动词。根据第二段的“Strickland helped... ‘Some school... are stuffed every day now’”可知，Strickland 发起筹款活动，帮助支付学校的午餐债务，所以此处表示那种感觉让他下定决心确保他以前小学里的任何学生都不会再有相同的感受。admit 意为“承认”；ensure 意为“保证，担保，确保”；discover 意为“发现，查明”；sense 意为“感觉到，意识到，觉察出”。]
43. D [考查动词。根据下文的“with $400 raised for McCurdy Elementary”“‘Some school workers told me... are stuffed every day now’”可知，Strickland 把筹到的钱捐给了自己以前的小学，帮助消除学校里待偿还的午餐债务。figure 意为“计算(数量或成本)”；report 意为“汇报，报告，通报”；investigate 意为“调查”；erase 意为“清除，消除，消灭”。]44. A [考查动词短语。根据上文的“with the aim of raising $200”和下文的“with $400 raised for McCurdy Elementary”可知，筹款目标是 200 美元，结果筹到了 400 美元，所以此处表示筹款的结果超过了最初的目标。go beyond 意为“超出”；show through 意为“(从某物)透出，(从某事)显露”；take in 意为“包括，包含”；step up 意为“增加，提高(数量、速度等)”。]45. C [考查副词。结合语境和下文的“‘are stuffed every day now’”可知，几个之前几乎吃不起午餐的孩子现在每天都能吃饱了。casually 意为“漫不经心地，随随便便地，不放在心上地”；obviously 意为“显然，明显地”；occasionally 意为“偶然，偶尔，有时候”；constantly 意为“始终，一直，重复不断地”。此处的“very occasionally”相当于 rarely。]46. B [考查名词根据上文的“‘Some school workers told me several kids once able to have lunch... go further’”，再结合 Strickland 小学四年级时的经历可知，知道几个之前几乎吃不起午餐的孩子现在每天都能吃饱了激励 Strickland 继续下去，因为他看到了活动的重要性。challenge 意为“挑战”；weight 意为“(某物的)影响，重要性”；opportunity 意为“机会”；reason 意为“原因”。]47. D [考查动词。根据第二段的“go further”和下文的“to remove lunch debts in all schools of the Hazelwood School District”可知，Strickland 扩展了该倡议，将范围扩大到 Hazelwood 学区的所有学校。repeat 意为“重做，重新推出，重复”；approve 意为“批准，通过”；launch 意为“开始从事，发起”；expand 意为“扩展，发展”。]48. C [考查动词。根据下文的“over $4,000, $2,500 of which Strickland plans to give to the Hazelwood School District... the funds.”可知，筹款活动已经筹集了 4000 多美元，Strickland 打算将其中的 2500 美元捐给 Hazelwood 学区，同时寻找另一个需要剩余资金的地区。donate 意为“捐赠”；borrow 意为“借入”；collect 意为“募捐，筹集”；save 意为“储蓄”。]49. B [考查名词。根据语境可知，此处指他还寻找另一个需要剩余资金的地区。increase“增长，增多，增加”；rest“剩余部分”；value“价值，数值”；majority“大部分，大多数”。]50. A [考查形容词。根据下文的“‘the problem was not common. This really opened my eyes’”可以推知，此处表示得知附近一个学区的学校午餐债务超过 50 000 美元，他感到很震惊。astonished 意为“感到十分惊讶，吃惊”；doubtful 意为“不确定，怀疑”；stressed 意为“焦虑不安，心力交瘁”；grateful 意为“感激的，表示感谢的”。]51. C [考查动词。根据上文的“the debts of a nearby district were over $50, 000”和下文的“‘the problem was not common’”可知，Strickland 原以为这一问题并不普遍。confirm 意为“证实，证明，确认”；deny 意为“否认”；assume 意为“假定，假设，认为”；conclude 意为“断定，推断出，得出结论”。]
52. B [考查名词。上文提到了 Strickland 原以为学校午餐债务问题并不普遍，但事实并非如此。再结合 Strickland 上四年级时挨饿等内容可知，此处表示这使 Strickland 认清了食物无保障这一事实。distribution 意为“分配，分布”；guarantee 意为“保证”；shortage 意为“短缺，不足”；consumption 意为“消耗，消耗量”。]
53. A [考查形容词。根据下文的“Her practice of creating ‘blessing bags’ for those in need”“sympathetic”可知，Strickland 把自己的慈善精神归功于他的妈妈。charitable 意为“慈善的，行善的”；innovative“意为(思想或方法)新颖的，创新的，革新的”；independent 意为“自主的，有主见的”；courageous 意为“勇敢的，无畏的”。]
54. D [考查动词。Strickland 的妈妈为有需要的人制作“福袋”的做法塑造了他富有同情心的人生态度。witness 意为“见证”；reflect 意为“反映”；identify 意为“确认，认出”；shape 意为“决定……的形成，影响……的发展”。]
55. C [考查名词。上文中的“his books on Tech Boy”和“becoming a computer programmer”都与科技有关，由此可知，此处表示他未来的计划包括成为一名计算机程序员，并将他对技术的热爱与回馈社区相结合。fund - raising 意为“募捐，筹款”；writing 意为“写作”；technology 意为“科技，工艺，工程技术”；creation 意为“创造，创建”。]
