　　参考答案 本篇文章介绍了Sister Cities International这一国际组织的活动宗旨，活动内容及活动方式。 1．A 由文章首句中brings together communities from different areas and different cultures可 　 　推知，此处应选“communities”与前文呼应。 2．D 作为帮助讲时。help通常用作不可数名词。由上下文可以知道，B项和C项语义不通。所以正确答 　 　案为D项。 3．B 由前面的信息exchanges可以知道，此处指分享(share)知识。 4．C set out“提出；制定出；出发”；set off“引起(某种情感)；引爆”；set up“建立；创立”; 　 　set down“放下；记下；记录”。结合语境可知，只有C项正确。 5．A invent“发明”；C项和D项都表示发现，均不可与idea搭配．故只能选establish表示“建立，确 　 　立，创办”。 6．A 创办友好城市是一种活动(program)。其他三项不合逻辑。 7．C 由上文President Dwight Eisenhower可知，正确答案应为C项。 8．D “在不同的文化中”应选in。 9．A Sister Cities International是国际组织，故应选A项international。 10．D 他认为(believe)城市外交有利于帮助构建……。 11．B 由上下文可以看出，Sister Cities International是帮助建立和平的关系，所以正确答案为B 　 　 项。project“项目”；program“活动”；community“社区”，均不合题意。 12．A be situated in“坐落于；位于”。locate做不及物动词时，意为“安居；定居”，不合题意。 13．A 由上文的American和下文的Brussels，Belgium Lagos，Nigeria知道，这是美国和其他国家建立 　 　 的合作关系，所以正确答案为A项。 14．D 由前面的句子结构One is with Brussels，Belgium．可知。此处也应该用with与前文呼应。 15．C 在过去的是十五年中，更多美国城市在发展中国家建立(establish)了姊妹城市。 16．B 由下文的例子可以看出，此处指医疗保健，故选health。 17．B communicate“与……交流”；deal with“处理；对待”；do with与疑问词连用，“处理”； 　 　 begin with“从……开始”，结合语境可知，B项正确。 18．A 句意为：友好城市合作关系通常由地方联系发展起来，故选result from“由……引起”。 19．D 此处指地方政府也参与进来，故选involved“参与；参加”。 20．B lead to“导致；通向”；result in “引起；结果是”；result from“由……引起”，均不合 　 　 语境，故选be responsible for“对……负责”。
