Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．C;4．C;
解析：

(1)	从第二段的The International Coast Cleanup is in its 14th year，看出每年一次，即annual activity，从第三段的the activity is a one-day attempt看出是持续一天的行动。从倒数第二段Globally, less than 20 percent of shore rubbish clearly comes from the water．The most appears to come from land sources的less than 20 percent of shore rubbish看出排除A项。C项之中的all和D项中的always都是症结所在。
(2)	从第六段的“Around every main body of water, we have a rubbish problem…”看出Around every main body of water，环绕每个水体，即global一词。
(3)	从最后一段的which will be piled and used for studies of how to settle the problem year-round看出settle the shore-pollution problem．即deal with the shore-pollution problem。
(4)	C项中的World’s Shores Combed for Rubbish可理解为The rubbish is combed along the world’s shores，点明了本文的地点和动作及动作的宾语。
