单项选择题
At the World Literacy Center, an organization that works to help people read, the helpers work hard, enabling them to successfully reach their goals.
A.assistants
B.volunteers
C.part-timers
D.amateurs
答案
参考答案:B
解析:近义词辨析。help和assist都有“帮助”之义,但assist强调起协助、辅助性的作用;而本句话中的helper并不仅仅指普通的帮手,而是帮助人们掌握阅读能力的志愿者,因此选项B.volunteers志愿者更符合题意。注意此类题型不要只看表面意思,要理解其语篇含义。
