A.a; a
B.an; a
C.the; a
D.an; the

泛指“一名ORBIS医生”，ORBIS发音以元音音素开头，用an；泛指“一名UNICEF工作人员”，UNICEF发音以辅音音素开头，用a，故选B。

() 2. When you travel abroad, you can hardly avoid products made in China.

A.to buy
B.buy
C.buying

B

根据后文“He once studied in Oxford University”可知，此处指良好的教育背景帮助他，A家庭、C婚姻、D生活均不符合语境，故选B。

（）4. — have you lived here?
—Since last year.

A.How long
B.How often
C.How soon
D.How far

A

根据答语“Since last year（自从去年以来）”，表示时间段，问句需询问“多长时间”。How long用于询问时间段，符合语境；How often询问频率，How soon询问将来时间，How far询问距离，均不符合。

（）5. These new types of energy cost very little and will never .

A.look out

句意：这些新型能源成本很低，而且永远不会耗尽。A项look out意为“小心”；B项come out意为“出版，出现”；C项run out意为“用完，耗尽”；D项stay out意为“待在外面”。结合语境，新型能源不会用完，故选C。

A.buy; has bought

D.bought; has bought

B

第一空时间状语in 2010表过去，用一般过去时，buy的过去式是bought，排除A、C；第二空for over 10 years表时间段，现在完成时需用延续性动词，buy是短暂性动词，延续性动词用have，现在完成时为has had，故选B。
