But   now that  they see us every week they   __43__   us.We even know some of their names. We all  have to remember that these are people with     _44_. Some of them shake our hands for giving them food. Some of them do really funny dances because they are happy.

Answer 1

【语篇解读】在奥兰多市，作者每个星期六晚上和家人到大街上去照顾无家可归的人。通过照顾那些无家可归的人，使作者更懂得感激自己所拥有的生活。

36．C　 我想提的一个特殊的事是……。mention用作及物动词，表示“说起，提到”。talk是不及物动词；remind的宾语是人；imagine表示“想象”，和句意不符。

37．B　为了体验饥饿的感觉，我和家人在动身之前不吃东西。

38．C　我们聚在厨房准备食物。因为准备食物，所以厨房是最合适的地方。

39．B　然后，我们包起够30人以上吃的食物。pack用作动词，表示“把……装入袋中”，把……打包，pack up整理；把……打包；make up弥补，组成，化妆，整理；press up用力使升高；add up加起来。

40．B　很多人误解那些无家可归的人。下文的Not all homeless people are drug addicts or bad people暗示着人们往往不能正确地理解这些无家可归的人。misunderstand误解，误会。

41．A　他们当中有些人刚刚发生了不幸的事。该空与上文的Some are really nice形成了并列关系，是没有范围的列举。

42．C　因为很多人无缘无故地对他们不友好。because用于解释上文的we had to earn their trust的原因。

43．B　由上文的we had to earn their trust可以知道，作者和家人经过努力，赢得了他们的信任。believe in sb.＝trust sb.表示“相信，信任某人”。

44．C　我们一定要记住，这些无家可归的人是有感情的。下文的shake our hands, do really funny dances等行为，表明这些人用握手、跳舞等方式表达自己的感情，所以说这些人也是有感情的。

45．A　在购物车上他们装着所有的财物。因为他们是无家可归的人，所以他们的财产都放在车上。belongings意为“财产，所有物”； grocery食品杂货； goods货物，商品。

46．C　帮助过他们几次之后，他给我讲了很多他的生活。选项C符合题意。

47．D　帮助这些无家可归的人，使我更感激自己所拥有的东西。appreciate表示“欣赏；感激，感谢”； realize实现，意识； recognize认出。
