“We had this one little red ball to play with,”Addyson told TIME for Kids. “We didn't have any electronics or phones, no iPads or TV. It was just us playing.” Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch now.

The dinner was hosted by the nonprofit group World Vision International, which builds wells, pipelines, and rain catchers in communities where people find it hard to get clean water.Addyson, was at the dinner because her family supports World Vision.

Races are one way World Vision raises money to pay for its water projects. Runners run a race, often a 26-mile marathon or 13-mile half marathon. They ask people to support them by donating(捐贈(zèng)) to World Vision.

By October 2017, when Addyson ran the race, she'd raised more than $20,000. She's the youngest person in World Vision history to raise more than $10,000. In 2018, she ran again and raised $36.000.

It was just us playing.” Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch now.（“我們有一個(gè)小紅球玩，”Addyson告訴TIME for Kids。“我們沒有任何電子產(chǎn)品或手機(jī)，沒有ipad或電視。只是我們?cè)谕妗?/span>Addyson和Maurine現(xiàn)在仍然保持聯(lián)系。）可知看似沒有共同點(diǎn)的Addyson和Maurine，兩年前在堪薩斯城的一次宴會(huì)上，他們一見面就一見如故，成為了朋友。故可推測劃線短語意思為“成為朋友”。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中Addyson spent four months training with her parents, waking up before 6 a.m. to run. Meanwhile, she started fundraising by asking friends to make donations as birthday presents and clearing tables at a restaurant for tips.（Addyson花了四個(gè)月的時(shí)間和她的父母一起訓(xùn)練，早上6點(diǎn)前起床跑步。與此同時(shí)，她開始募集資金，讓朋友們捐款作為生日禮物，并在一家餐廳清理桌子收小費(fèi)。）可知Addyson的父母和Addyson一起訓(xùn)練參加比賽可知Addyson一家非常熱心，以及Addyson的父母愿意讓Addyson籌集的資金用來幫助他人可知Addyson的父母非常慷慨大方。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段Races are one way World Vision raises money to pay for its water projects. Runners run a race, often a 26-mile marathon or 13-mile half marathon.

詞義猜測題是高考閱讀理解中�？碱}型之一，可以大致分為

① 定義猜詞，可以根據(jù)定義信息和舉例猜測詞義。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。

③ 語法猜詞，可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法，再結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行猜詞。

④ 語境猜詞，猜測詞義離不開上下文的語境，通過上下文提供的情景和線索進(jìn)行合理的分析，同時(shí)還要關(guān)注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤ 指代猜詞即找出人稱代詞、指示代詞、關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞等所指代的內(nèi)容，做題時(shí)要注意指代詞的位置，以便于判斷，然后用所找的指代內(nèi)容替換劃線代詞，核實(shí)其邏輯、意義、位置等是否一致，最后比較所找部分與選項(xiàng)，確定意思最接近的選項(xiàng)。

如第一小題，根據(jù)下文中“We had this one little red ball to play with,” Addyson told TIME for Kids. “We didn't have any electronics or phones, no iPads or TV. It was just us playing.” Addyson and Maurine still keep in touch now.（“我們有一個(gè)小紅球玩，”Addyson告訴TIME for Kids�！拔覀儧]有任何電子產(chǎn)品或手機(jī)，沒有ipad或電視。只是我們?cè)谕妗?/span>Addyson和Maurine現(xiàn)在仍然保持聯(lián)系。）可知看似沒有共同點(diǎn)的Addyson和Maurine，兩年前在堪薩斯城的一次宴會(huì)上，他們一見面就一見如故，成為了朋友。故可推測劃線短語意思為“成為朋友”。故選A。
