本文讲述阿米娅读到一篇文章后，自己也想帮助自己的小镇，在看到一家人之后，她决定募集冬季的大意、帽子和手套给需要的人，她自己也因此感到很温暖。

1.

句意：这篇文章是关于孩子们帮助他们的社区，她认为帮助她自己的城镇哈佛会很酷。

checked检查；helped帮助；reached到达；cleaned打扫。根据后半句“and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.”可知，她认为帮助她自己的城镇哈佛会很酷，所以前句也是表示“帮助”的含义。故选B。

2.

句意：唯一的问题是她不知道如何帮助。

problem问题；reason原因；answer回答；thought认为。根据后文叙述内容，文章提及孩子们是怎么做的，但是冬天，阿米娅不能那样做，所以问题是她不知道如何帮助。故选A。

3.

句意：外面寒风凛冽。

hardly几乎不；strongly强壮地，强烈地；suddenly突然；naturally自然地。分析上下文可知，他们很冷，所以此处修饰刮风的情况，寒风凛冽。故选B。

4.

句意：她可以为需要的人募集冬天的外套、帽子和手套。

make制作；buy买；collect收集，募集；design设计。分析语境并结合后文“They collected enough winter clothing in only one week.”可知，他们只用一个星期就募集了足够的冬衣。所以此处表示“募集”的含义。故选C。

5.

句意：但是他们如何传播获得大量冬衣的想法呢？

bring带来；pass通过；express表达；spread传播。根据后文内容可知，后文在叙述他们是通过什么方式来传播这个想法的，强调“传播”。故选D。

6.

句意：他们决定把这个项目命名为“哈佛的帽子”。

work工作；project项目；action行动；task任务。根据后句“Then they wrote a letter explaining the project.”可知，这是个项目，故选B。

7.

句意：她看到了给她“哈佛的帽子”想法的那个家庭。

idea想法；advice建议；help帮助；hope希望。根据前文内容和“That gave her an idea!”可知，是那家人给了她创办“哈佛的帽子”的想法。故选A。

8.

句意：阿米娅心里暖洋洋的，很高兴自己能帮助别人。

lucky幸运的；sad悲伤的；warm温暖的；surprised惊讶的。分析文章内容可知，阿米娅帮助人们得到御寒的衣物，受助的人得到身体的温暖，自己也因为帮助到他人感到心里暖暖的。故选C。
