1.1.

A lively

B lonely

C friendly

D

解析：选B。形容词辨析。结合后文 “归属感计划”，此处指 “孤独的孩子”，lively（活泼的）、friendly（友好的）不符合语境。

2.2.

A strange

B expensive

C special

D

解析：选C。形容词辨析。礼物的目的是 “提醒重要性”，special（特别的）契合，strange（奇怪的）、expensive（昂贵的）无依据。

3.3.

A decided

B kept

C enjoyed

D

解析：选A。动词辨析。与父母老师沟通后 “决定” 做纽扣，decided on（选定）为固定搭配，kept（保持）、enjoyed（享受）不搭配。

4.4.

A although

B because

C until

D

解析：选B。连词辨析。“学校有 400 多学生” 是 “需要规划” 的原因，用 because（因为），although（尽管）、until（直到）逻辑不符。

5.5.

A for

B with

C like

D

解析：选C。介词辨析。举例口号用 like（像），for（为了）、with（和）无法表举例。

6.6.

A buttons

7.7.

A explain

8.8.

A bringing

B wearing

C leaving

D

解析：选B。动词辨析。纽扣应 “佩戴” 在背包或衣服上，wearing（佩戴）正确，bringing（带来）、leaving（留下）不贴合。

A when

B which

C who

D

解析：选C。定语从句引导词。先行词是 “kids”（人），从句中作主语，用 who，when（表时间）、which（表物）不适用。
