【分析】首先通读全文，明确文章主旨是美国女孩Nicole建立慈善机构收集旧自行车帮助有需要的人。解题时需结合每个空白处的前后文内容，分析逻辑关系（如提问与回答、时间顺序、人物对话衔接等），逐一匹配选项：11空需承接前文对自行车的讨论并引出后文Nicole的答案，选提问类选项；12空需对应后文“从那时起”的时间起点，选建立机构的内容；13空需承接前文对学生的评价，选奖励相关内容；14空需对应后文提到的店主，选与自行车店相关的内容；15空需承接店主的感慨，选学习帮助他人的内容。
【解析】11空：前文提到骑自行车的好处，后文说Nicole有答案，E选项“怎么处理旧自行车？”是引出答案的提问，符合语境，故选E；12空：后文“从那时起她开始收集旧车”，G选项“Nicole8岁时建立Pedal Power”是时间起点，衔接后文，故选G；13空：前文说有些孩子不幸运但学习好，A选项“他们应该得到奖励”承接对这些孩子的评价，故选A；14空：后文提到店主，D选项“自行车店帮她检查比赛用的车”涉及店主，符合语境，故选D；15空：前文店主说“这太棒了”，B选项“我们要向Nicole学习帮助别人”是店主的感慨，衔接自然，故选B。
