1.1.

A

B

C

D

解析：选living。living 考查非谓语。空格前核心名词为 “women of color”，空格后 “live with cancer” 用于修饰该名词，二者构成主动关系（女性是 “患癌症” 这一动作的执行者），故用现在分词形式作后置定语。此处还原成定语从句为 “women of color who are living with cancer”。故填living。

2.2.

A

B

C

D

解析：选was told。was told 考查被动语态。主语 “She” 与谓语动词 “tell” 之间是被动关系（她是 “被告知” 的对象），需用被动语态；结合前文时间线索 “In 2015”（过去时间），时态确定为一般过去时。被动语态结构为 “was/were + 过去分词”，主语为第三人称单数。故填was told。

3.3.

A

B

C

D

解析：选Unluckily。Unluckily 考查副词。 空格后为完整句子，此处需用副词修饰整个主句，体现逻辑关系。前文提及 “找假发有额外困难”，与前文 “看似正常” 形成转折，故需将形容词 “lucky” 转换为否定意义的副词 “Unluckily”。故填Unluckily。

4.4.

A

B

C

D

解析：选didn’t。didn’t 考查时态。 空格后 “sell” 为动词原形，结合后文 “They only sold straight haired wigs”（他们只卖直发假发）可知，此处表达 “医院没有卖卷发假发” 的否定含义。前文时态为一般过去时（went），否定实义动词 “sell” 需借助助动词 “did” 的否定形式 “didn’t”。故填didn’t。

5.5.

A

B

C

D

解析：选Sweeping。Sweeping 考查非谓语。句子主句为 “Dianne and her sister searched everywhere”，空格处 “sweep the country”（走遍全国）与主句动作同时发生，且主语 “Dianne and her sister” 与 “sweep” 构成主动关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。故填Sweeping。

6.6.

A

B

C

D

解析：选difference。difference 考查固定搭配。 空格前有不定冠词 “a”，需填名词形式。“make a difference” 是考试中的高频固定搭配，意为 “产生影响；有所作为”，对应前文姐妹俩因找不到合适假发而决定为患者改变现状的语境。故填difference。

7.7.

A

B

C

D

解析：选whose。whose 考查定语从句。 空格前先行词为 “organization”（机构），空格后 “mission”（使命）与先行词构成所属关系（机构的使命），故用关系代词 “whose” 引导定语从句，在从句中作定语。故填whose。

8.8.

A

B

C

D

解析：选what。what 考查从句连接词。 空格前 “go through” 为及物动词短语，后接宾语从句；从句中缺少主语（即 “被称为假发适配测试” 的事物），故用连接代词 “what” 引导宾语从句，指代 “…… 的事物”。故填what。

9.9.

A

B

C

D

解析：选approval。approval 考查词性转换。 空格前 “of” 为介词，后接名词作宾语，需将动词“approve” 转换为名词 “approval”。“seal of approval” 意为 “认可标志”，对应前文 “假发通过适配测试” 的语境。故填approval。

A

B

C

D

解析：选to。to 考查固定搭配。句意：多亏了她们的努力，医院可以提供更高水平的代表性和包容性。 thanks to表示“由于, 幸亏”。故填to。
