答案： 1.B [解析]考查介词辨析。句意：每天放学后，她都会去拜访汤普森夫人，一位年迈孤独的老太太。from 从；after 在……之后；at 在；to 向。根据“school every day”可知，艾玛应是在放学后去拜访汤普森夫人。故选 B。
2.C [解析]考查代词辨析。句意：艾玛会和她聊天并帮忙做家务。it 它，指代物；him 他，指代男性；her 她，指代女性；them 他/她/它们，指代复数。根据上文“Mrs Thompson,an elderly lonely lady”可知，此空在句中指代上文的“Mrs Thompson”，是一位女性。故选 C。
3.A [解析]考查名词辨析。句意：一年冬天，一场大雪袭击了村庄，每个人都尽力清理房子前的雪。village 村庄；forest 森林；school 学校；camp 营地。根据“helping her neighbors”及下文的“the village”可知，艾玛帮助邻居应该是在村庄里。故选 A。
4.D [解析]考查动词辨析。句意：很快，一群朋友加入了她的行列，一起做好事。invite 邀请；leave 离开；thank 感谢；join 加入。根据“... her in her good deed(行为)”可知，→join in 表示“参与、加入”，后接名词及动名词此处指朋友们加入艾玛一起做好事。故选 D。
5.C [解析]考查形容词辨析。句意：艾玛知道蒂米一家人正在经历困难的时期。good 好的；free 自由的；difficult 困难的；short 短的。根据“knowing that he could not afford it”可知，蒂米一家人应该是正在经历困难的时期。故选 C。
