问题     Mark Clements, 53, a garageman, had long and untidy hair. Laura Shira, 43, who gives haircuts, needed car repairs. Rather than【36】for service, the two residents helped each other. A typical small-town favor, right? No, the two didn’t know each other. They【37】the Neighborhood Service Exchange (NSE), where members【38】their skills. The exchange need not be direct; members earn credit for hours【39】and can cash in later from anyone in the group.
    The NSE may help people save a little money, but at its heart it’s building a(n)【40】of community in a place that was losing that small-town feel. In a recent【41】, 78% said they didn’t feel comfortable asking a neighbor for help. "We want neighbors to【42】like neighbors again," says Kathryn Myron, who【43】the group in 1998.
    It’s working. Hidi Hanson, 53, agreed to make "【44】phone calls" to Katie O’Brien, 66, who had suffered a stroke. The two became fast friends who now talk on the phone almost daily. "I don’t even bother to keep【45】my credits anymore," says O’Brien.  

选项 A、making
B、looking
C、paying
D、calling

答案C

解析 本题从句子层面考查动词辨析。四个选项都能和for搭配:make for是“走向”;look for是“寻找”;pay for…是“为……付钱”;call for是“前往接(某人);需要”。从本句前面的词组“Rather than”和后面的“helped each other”来看,可知“Rather than”后面的词组表示的动作和句子的后半句“这两位居民彼此互相帮助”是相反的意思。故选项C正确。
