【答案】l.A2.D3.C

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在肯尼亚的志愿者项目，包括费用、安排以及住宿等。

［详解］1.细节理解题。根据KenyaVolunteerPro-gramSchedule部分中,Youcanvolunteerforanydurationandstay

aslongasyouwish.Youcanarriveatanytimeduringthemonthandthevolunteerworkstartsthefollowingday.“（你可

以做任何志愿者，想待多久就待多久。你可以在这个月的任何时间到达，志愿者工作第二天就开始了。）可知，志

愿者项目的时间安排非常灵活。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据VolunteeringinKenyaCosts部分中“Costfor2months$l,100.00”（2个月费用$1100.00）

以及“200moreforeveryextratwoweeks."（每多两周就多200。）可知，每多两周费用将增加200美元，因此$1,

100.00+$200.00=$1300.00o故选D。

3.细节理解题。根据OurVolunteerinKenyaProgramOffers部分中“ThevolunteerinKenyaprogramfeecovers

communication,airportpick-up^（肯尼亚志愿者项目费用包含通讯、接机）可知，这个志愿者项目提供接机服

务。故选C。
