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、applied for
B、worked in
C、learned about
D、belonged to

答案D

解析 本题从语篇层面考查动词词组辨析。从上下文可以得知那两个人互不相识,这个NSE就成了解题的关键。选项A是“申请(某个职位)”的意思,而NSE不是职位,故不能 选;选项B意为“(在某地)工作”,从上文“两个人互不相识”来看,两个人不应该在NSE里工作;选项C意为“了解”,与两个人相识与否不相干;选项D意为“属于”则可以表示同属于一个“社区交换站”,这里的人很可能互不相识,但这同一社区的人自然可以进行工作交换,因此选项D为正确答案。
