[语篇解读] “我”所住的城市有很多无家可归的人,我们用一些独特的方式来帮助他们。
解析: 根据空前的small ways及空后的to buy their monthly magazine可知,这里指没有很多钱也可以帮助那些无家可归的人。
答案: C
解析: doing this指上文的to buy their monthly magazine。因此,本句话的意思是“通过这样做,我……”。介词by的意思是“通过……方式”。
答案: D
解析: “我”经常到这儿买报纸,渐渐认识了这个年轻人。get to know的意思是“渐渐认识”。
答案: C
解析: 根据One way to help is to buy...及a young homeless man可知这个年轻人“卖(selling)”杂志。
答案: A
解析: 由下文的we were born in the same month可知我们的“生日(birthday)”非常近。
答案: A
解析: 我们的生日相近“也就是说(meant)”我们的生日在同一个月。
答案: D
解析: 根据后文“我”祝贺他,可知是在他的生日后“不久(shortly)”我们相遇。
答案: B
解析: 根据他的回答及下一段开头内容可知“我”在没有丝毫“考虑(thinking)”的情况下,祝贺他生日快乐之后,问他是否度过了一个愉快的生日。
答案: D
解析: 因为生活窘迫,年轻人被问到生日是否过得愉快时,不好意思地“低下头(looked down)”。
答案: C
解析: 明知道人家无家可归,家里很穷,不可能像一般人一样去庆祝自己的生日,还要问那样的问题,作者感到自己非常傻(竟然没有想到这一点)。
答案: A
解析: 根据下文的no presents,no cake,nothing可知此处指这个年轻人过生日的那天“孤独一人(alone)”。
答案: C
答案: B
解析: “幸好(Luckily)”,针线筐里“剩下(left)”足够的纱线,“我”可以给他织围巾作为迟到的生日礼物。
答案: C
解析: 根据下文的I washed the yarn so the scarf可知。
答案: A
解析: “因为(because)”“我”不常用这些纱线织东西,所以纱线有点脏。前后句之间是因果关系。
答案: B
解析: 洗了之后的纱线自然会很干净,与前一句中的dirty形成对比。
答案: D
解析: 由下文随身带着礼物可知“我”“希望(hoped)”遇到他。
答案: B
解析: “我”随身“带着(carried)”要送给年轻人的礼物。
答案: D
解析: 从第四段的on his 25th birthday with no presents,no cake,nothing可知,这个年轻人过25岁生日的时候没有生日礼物,没有蛋糕。所以“我”希望在自己过生日的时候能够与他分享蛋糕。a piece of不与present搭配。
答案: A
解析: the light in his eyes指他高兴的眼神。上文的He was very happy是提示。
答案: A
