解析 devote“致力，献身”。他致力于帮助重度残疾的人们，故选择A项。
答案 A
2．A.lonely B．comfortable C．happy D．afraid
解析 comfortable“舒适的”。由下文“losing the use of his legs in a tragic accident”在一次悲惨的事故中他失去了双腿的功能可知，他在家里的生活并不舒服，所以选择B项。
答案 B
3．A.effortlessly B．aimlessly C．selflessly D．silently
解析 selflessly“无私地”。由下文“put the needs of his neighbours first”把邻居的需要放在首位可知，选择C项。

答案 A
5．A.cared B．argued C．talked D．learnt
解析 learn about“了解到”，故选择D项。care about“关心”；argue about“争论”；talk about“谈到”。talked干扰性最大，容易误认为这个慈善组织谈到了Ferch的故事。根据下文“got the help he needed”可知，这个慈善组织了解到了Ferch的故事并且帮助了他。
答案 D

解析 finally“最后”。他最后终于获得了他所需要的帮助。所以选择C项。

答案 C
13．A.put on B．put off C．put up D．put in
解析 put in“安装”。安装了一个新的热水器和软化器，故选择D项。put on“穿上”；put off“推迟”；put up“张贴”。干扰性最大的是put up。put up一般指张贴布告，搭建房屋等。
答案 D
14．A.true B．unexpected C．terrible D．unbearable
解析 unexpected“想不到的，意外的”。通过后文可知，Josephson获得肾，不再需要透析了，这是让人想不到的事情，所以选择B项。
答案 B
15．A.considerate B．willing C．polite D．experienced
