試題分析：本文寫了米桶挑戰(zhàn)，“米桶挑戰(zhàn)”與“冰桶挑戰(zhàn)”概念相似，但參加者不是要淋米，而是向有需要的人捐出一桶米，拍下照片，再向其他人發(fā)出挑戰(zhàn)，以此來幫助需要的人。

【1】B考查對上下文的理解能力。由Rice Bucket Challenge”. It is about giving a bucket of rice to someone who is in need and taking a picture named “Rice Bucket Challenge” to share online. 可知米桶挑戰(zhàn)不是向某個人的頭上淋米，而是贈給需要的人一桶米，后文是解釋米桶挑戰(zhàn)，所以前一句是誤解，所以選B。

【2】G考查對上下文的理解能力。由后文冰桶挑戰(zhàn)的開始，可知此處是提到了冰桶挑戰(zhàn)，所以選G。

【3】D考查對上下文的理解能力。由The challenge has gained a lot of support with students signing up in Indian Institute of Management, and more and more people join in it可以知道越來越多的人加入米桶挑戰(zhàn)，所以D選項中也是有人加入，所以選D。

【4】F考查對上下文的理解能力。由下文可知還是有很多人在承受著饑餓，可知這個挑戰(zhàn)不足以滿足需要的人們，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠，所以選F。

【5】E考查對上下文的理解能力。由米桶挑戰(zhàn)的程序可知挑戰(zhàn)者需要拍一張照片，然后等待下一個人的挑戰(zhàn)。所以選E。
