1.1.
A lucky
B lost
C safe
D famous
解析：选B。B 考查形容词与语境推断。空格后说“most support groups were for children or older people, and very few were for young adults like her”，适合她的支持小组极少，所以她当时心里是迷惘、不知怎么办才好；下句“She was afraid”也印证了这种心态。lucky（幸运）、safe（安心）、famous（出名）都与这个处境对不上。故选B。
2.2.
A so
B or
C because
D but
解析：选D。D 考查连词与逻辑关系。前半句是“She was afraid”，后半句是“she still shared her story on TikTok”，“害怕”与“仍然分享”之间是让步转折。so表结果、or表选择、because表原因，都与still的语气相冲突。故选D。
3.3.
A met
B held
C treated
D sold
解析：选A。A 考查动词与语境。上一段说她把自己的经历发到TikTok上，本句说“Soon she...other young patients there”，there指的就是TikTok，她在那里遇到、结识了同样年轻的病友。held（握住）、treated（治疗）、sold（卖）都与“在网上遇到病友”这一语境无关。故选A。
4.4.
A photos
B comments
C tickets
D presents
解析：选B。B 考查名词与语境。空格句说她们看她的视频，在视频下面留下善意的什么；下文她正是通过她们的回答解决了手术前要买什么的问题，可见双方是在页面上互相留言，所以填 comments（评论）。photos、tickets、presents 都不是能“留在视频下方”的东西。故选B。
5.5.
A table
B bag
C pillow
D coat
解析：选C。C 考查名词与目的推断。她们让Alex去“get a big soft...”，目的是“to sleep better at night”又大又软、还能让人晚上睡得更好的东西自然就是枕头。table（桌子）、bag（包）、coat（外套）都无法用“睡得更香”来解释。故选C。
6.6.
A found
B kept
C took
D brought
解析：选A。A 考查动词与语义衔接。她因药物掉了头发，紧接着说“I did not have to spend twenty minutes on my hair”，是从这件倒霉事里看到了好处，即“发现了（found）事情好的一面”。kept（保留）、took（拿）、brought（带来）都不能与something good about it搭配出“发现”的意思。故选A。
7.7.
A songs
B games
C stories
D photos
解析：选C。C 考查名词与上下文。人们上网搜索癌症时读到的是“many sad...”，这与她拍搞笑视频、讲好的一面形成对比，所以是一堆令人难过的故事/帖子；songs（歌曲）、games（游戏）、photos（照片）都不符合语境。故选C。
8.8.
A stop
B forget
C miss
D keep
解析：选D。D 考查动词固定搭配。上句是网友写来的“You made me laugh today”，本句说这些话“mean a lot to her”，可见它们支撑着她继续做下去，keep sb going意为“让某人坚持下去”。stop（停止）、forget（忘记）、miss（错过）都与“这些话对她意义重大”的方向相反。故选D。
9.9.
A big
B new
C warm
D quiet
解析：选C。C 考查形容词与语境。本句说“For young patients who feel lost, her page is a...place”，这些年轻病人原本迷惘害怕，在她的主页上却能遇到同伴，所以那是一个让人感到暖心的地方。big（大的）、new（新的）、quiet（安静的）在文中都找不到依据。故选C。
10.10.
A young
B busy
C rich
D alone
解析：选D。D 考查形容词与全文主题。文章开头她迷惘害怕，后来在TikTok上遇到同伴、彼此支持，所以她希望自己的视频能让其他年轻人“不再感到孤单”；young 与前面的 young patients 重复，且不能与 feel less 搭配表达“不再孤单”的主题，busy、rich 在文中没有任何依据。故选D。
