B
What breaks your heart? "For me, it's seeing people who need a friend," the seventh grader Sammie Vance from Indiana, US, told a magazine.
During a summer camp, Vance learnt about buddy benches (伙伴长椅). These benches are seats in a school playground. A lonely (孤独的) child can sit on it. Then others will know he or she is in need of a friend. She loved this idea. "This would be really cool to have at my school," Vance said. To make it happen, she collected 725 kilograms of bottle caps. Her mother helped find a company to turn the caps into benches. According to Vance, these benches are much cheaper than park benches and are good for the environment.
Vance did the same thing for other schools too. She also made a special web page. People can make bottle cap donations (捐赠) on it. She was surprised when she got bottle caps from Germany, Australia and Israel.
Today, Vance has helped make about 200 benches in schools and neighbourhoods. But she is not going to stop. She said even adults (成人) can use a buddy bench because people at any age may feel lonely.

答案：26.B 27.A 28.C 29.D 30.C
解析：
26题：根据文章第二段内容，伙伴长椅的作用是让孤独的孩子坐在上面时，其他人能知晓他/她需要朋友，Sammie Vance想要学校有这样的长椅，目的是帮助孤独的学生找到朋友，A选项“加入夏令营”、C选项“研究学生的问题”、D选项“给学生提供休息的地方”均不符合原文表述，故选B。
27题：根据文章第二段"To make it happen, she collected 725 kilograms of bottle caps."可知，Vance为了给学校制作伙伴长椅，收集了大量瓶盖，B选项“和其他学校合作”、C选项“让妈妈买长椅”、D选项“重复使用旧公园长椅”均和原文内容不符，故选A。
28题：根据第三段"She was surprised when she got bottle caps from Germany, Australia and Israel."可知，她收到来自德国、澳大利亚、以色列这些国外国家的瓶盖时感到很惊讶，对应C选项“收到来自国外的瓶盖”，其余选项不符合原文，故选C。
29题：根据最后一段"She said even adults (成人) can use a buddy bench because people at any age may feel lonely."可推断出，伙伴长椅对各个年龄段的人都有帮助。A选项“现在更多成年人感到孤独”无原文依据，B选项“Vance已经停止制作伙伴长椅”和原文"she is not going to stop"表述相反，C选项“美国大约有200所学校有伙伴长椅”和原文"helped make about 200 benches in schools and neighbourhoods"表述不符，故选D。
30题：全文围绕主人公Sammie Vance制作、推广“伙伴长椅”的故事展开，核心主题是伙伴长椅，C选项"Benches for buddies"最适合作为文章标题，A选项“精美的手工艺品”偏离内容，B选项“关心他人”太过宽泛，D选项“人们可能会感到孤独”只是文中的细节，不能概括全文，故选C。
