19.A.protect B.communicate
C.help D.treasure
解析:选C。根据前面的develop a sense of community可知,此处表示"这样我们就能彼此帮助(help)"。protect意为"保护",communicate意为"交流",treasure意为"珍视",三项均与句意不符。
20.A.dream B.struggle
C.management D.style
解析:选B。句意:我们为开办餐馆所作出的努力是值得的。dream意为"梦想";struggle意为"挣扎;努力";management意为"管理";style意为"风格"。故选B项。

【语篇导读】 本篇文章说明吃早餐的好处与重要性,提出早餐对青少年尤其重要,所以一定要养成吃早餐的习惯。
1.ability 设空处位于名词所有格kids'的后面,应用名词形式,故填able的名词形式ability。
2.consisting 句意:至少由五大食物种类中的两类组成的一餐是最健康的......。该句谓语为is,is与设空处之间没有并列连词,故设空处为非谓语形式,且作主语meal的定语,meal与consist之间为主动关系,故填consisting。
3.but/yet 根据前后句子的逻辑关系,此处表示转折,所以应填but/yet。
