问题     Steven Weinberg is that kind of person who not only would like to help others, but really enjoying doing so. That is【C1】______ he joined forces with his wife, Mary, and a cancer survivor Paul Young to found Hospitality for Family and Friends, Inc. The【C2】______ group helps find unsold hotel rooms for families and friends of cancer patients or for patients themselves the night before an early morning operation or【C3】______ .
    "The other day we got a call from a woman who had driven all the way from Michigan to get her husband to Memorial Sloan-Kettering for treatment," said Weinberg. "She and her sons had no place to stay, so the hospital’s【C4】 ______ of social work suggested they【C5】______ us. We found a room for them at last."
    Since hotel【C6】______ can be very expensive, Weinberg and his volunteer staff find rooms where families can stay —free of charge of course —for one or two nights. They work with 8 hospitals and 19 hotels.
    "We’re【C7】______ on increasing the number of【C8】______ hotels in the New York area now, this is the place where we start our program and we have a lot of connections here", Weinberg said. "When we first started our program, we can not imagine the program is so【C9】______ now. And we hope someday we can take the program【C10】______ ."
    And in these years of helping others, we come to understand more about people’s needs, and those needs do not necessarily【C11】______ financial support. One time, there was a 60-year-old man calling us, asking if we could【C12】______ a room near the hospital for him to stay before his major operation. We agreed, and managed to find one room of 3-minute walking distance from the hospital. And after we【C13】______ our promise, he told us the truth.
    He is a man of large means, and he can well afford to live in a【C14】______ hotel. The reason why he chose to【C15】______ us for help is that he wanted to live in a place that【C16】______ like a home. He is actually wealthy, and he has several sons and daughters, but none of them could【C17】______ him to go through the painful operation because of their busy schedule.
    Since it began【C18】______ two years ago, the group has received many letters of【C19】______ . A patient from Pennsylvania wrote:" Your kind service provided me with peace of mind going into surgery【C20】______ that my wife was safe nearby." [br] 【C13】
选项 A、extract
B、deliver
C、live up
D、break
答案 B
解析 考查搭配；break one’s promise 表示“食言，没有兑现承诺”，从文章中可以知道，作者答应给这位老人寻找住处，最后是找到了，所以不能选D；从其他选项中寻找表示“兑现诺言”的表达，B和 C都和兑现诺言有关，但C的完整表达应该是live up to sb’s promise，这里的to 是不可以省略的，所以选B。
