困难。因此this指代“眼睛疼”这件事。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据'First,itcancauseillnessessuchascoughs.Also,thelightcanhurtpeople'seyes.Besides,it

canleadtofires.Lastly,keroseneisexpensive,sofamilieshavelessmoneyforfbod.”可知，首先，它会导致咳嗽

等疾病。此外，光线会伤害人们的眼睛。此外，它还可能导致火灾。最后，煤油很贵，所以家庭买食物的

钱更少。因此，文章一共提到使用煤油灯的4个问题。故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据"Hehadtodohomeworkbythelightofakerosenelamp（煤油灯）.Evans'eyeshurtandthis

madestudyingdifficult.”可知，煤油灯让Evans的眼睛疼。根据"Althoughstudyingwasdifficult,Evanswasan

excellentstudentandwenttoauniversity."可知，尽管学习非常艰难，Evans是个优秀的学生，并进入了大学。

根据'Evansbuilthisfirstsolarlamp,anditworked.”可知，Evans制作了第一台太阳能灯。根据'First,Evansused

recycledmaterials.Next,volunteersbuiltthelamps.Finally,peoplefrommanycountriesgaveawaymoneytohis

team,sothelampswereusuallyfree.”可知，Evans使用回收材料制灯，志愿者也来制灯，最后，来自许多国

家的人给他的团队捐款。因此，事件的正确顺序为d-a-c-e-f-b。牧选A。

4.推理判断题。根据"Thousandsofpeoplehadsafelight.Julia,amotherofthree,said,'ThankstoEvans,my

中考美制

childrenhavelighttoread,andIhavemyownlighttocook?Thesolarlampsmadeabigdifference.”可知，成千上

万的人有安全的照明。Julia是三个孩子的母亲，她说：“多亏了Evans,我的孩子们有了读书的灯，我也有

了做饭的灯。“太阳能灯起到了很大的作用。举Julia的例子是为了说明Evans的发明创造给人们带来的影响。

故选Bo

5.推理判断题。通读本文可知，Evans在艰苦的学习环境下还上了大学，说明他非常勤奋，他为了解决使

用煤油灯带来的一系列问题，发明创造了太阳能灯，说明他富有创造性，他想方设法降低太阳能灯的制作

成本，让穷人也能用得上太阳能灯，说明他富有爱心。故选D。
