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.

    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、idea

答案B

解析 本题从句子层面考查名词辨析。本句表达NSE要“建设、打造”什么:选项A意为“主意”;选项B意为“感觉”;选项c意为“程度”;选项D意为“环境”。根据本句中“…in a place that was losing that small—town feel.”可以判断NSE想要在“一个感觉正在消失小城镇感的地方营造一种社区归属感”。因此选项B符合本句意思的要求。
