It was Thanksgiving morning. In the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey1the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in2clothes and thin little sandals(凉鞋), staying together at the door on the top step.
“Any old3, lady？” asked one of them.
I was4. I wanted to say “no” until my eyes were5their sandals, which were wet with heavy snow.
“6 and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked7and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the8. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight9the freezing cold outside.10 I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget for Thanksgiving Day.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice，“Lady, are you11？”
I looked at my old sofa covers（沙发套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer(托盘)12 and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was13with a need that no amount of food could
supply. They left after that，14 their papers against the wind. They hadn't said “Thank you.” They didn't need to. They had15me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were16worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these17 ， too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and18the living room. The muddy(沾上泥的)19 of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to20how rich I am.

【解析】本文属于记叙文，圣诞节时来到我家收旧报纸的两个孩子让我意识到我是多么的富有，这提醒我要对生活有感恩之心。

⑴考查固定句式。句式be doing sth when....正在做某事在这时.....；其中的when是并列连词，后句通常表示意料之外的事情。我正忙于准备圣诞火鸡，在这时门铃响了。故C项正确。

⑵考查上下文串联。在圣诞节这一个全家团圆的日子还出来收旧报纸，说明这两个孩子很穷。BCD三项与语境不符。故A正确。

⑶考查上下文串联。根据49空49 their papers可知他们是收旧报纸的。故B正确。

⑷考查上下文串联。根据第一段第二句I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey可知当时我正忙于准备火鸡大餐。故C项正确。

⑸考查固定搭配。短语fix one's eyes on...聚焦于....；本句中名词短语my eyes提前至句首，后面使用被动语态。我的注意力聚焦到他们穿的凉鞋上，圣诞节在冬天，他们还穿凉鞋，这引起了我的注意。故A正确。

⑹考查上下文串联。根据36空后the doorbell rang可知他们敲门了，我看到他们还穿着凉鞋，就让他们进来。故D正确。

⑺考查动词短语。短语come over走过来；come out出版；come off脱落；come on加油；我让他们进来，他们就走了过来并坐在桌子旁边。与BCD三项语义不搭配。故A项正确。

⑻考查常识。他们还穿着凉鞋，凉鞋会在地板上留下痕迹。故B项符合生活常识。

⑼考查介词辨析。介词about关于；against对抗，逆着；依靠；for为了；in在...里面；我给他们可乐和面包果酱抵御外面的严寒。根据句意可知B项正确。

⑽考查词义辨析。副词thus结果是；but但是；then接着；so于是；本句表示上下文的顺接关系。接着我去厨房继续准备圣诞节大餐。上下文没有因果或转折关系。故C项正确。

⑾考查上下文串联。这两个孩子很穷，在他们眼里“我”算是富人，所以男孩才会问我。且和55空后how rich I am保持一致。故A正确。

⑿考查副词辨析。副词curiously好奇地；hopefully充满希望地；carefully细心地；silently安静地；女孩很细心地把杯子放回托盘里，生怕弄碎了。说明女孩子很拘谨。故C项正确。

⒀考查形容词辨析。形容词hungry渴望的；pleasant愉快的；deep深入的；cold寒冷的；我的声音中充满了一种渴望，而这种渴望是食物无法给与的，女孩渴望得到温暖的家庭的关爱。故A项正确。

⒁考查动词辨析。动词turn转向；deliver投递，发表；push推；hold紧握；后来这两个孩子走了，紧握住报纸。ABC三项与句意不符。故D项正确。

⒂考查动词辨析。动词remind提醒；promise允诺；persuade说服；tell告知；虽然孩子们没有说“谢谢你”，但他们不必说。他们已经提醒我有太多要感激的东西了。BCD与句意不搭配。

⒃考查上下文串联。根据后句But they matched可知虽然china cups 和 saucers只值一点点钱，但是他们很配。所以使用副词only表示强调。故D正确。

⒄考查上下文串联。动词match匹配；work工作，起作用；mix混合；agree同意；之前孩子们说china cups 和 saucers很配，现在我生活中的很多事物都很配。故A正确。

⒅考查动词辨析。动词decorate装饰；equip装备；empty清空；clean清理；吃完东西以后我要把起居室清理干净。与“装饰、装备和清空”无关。故D项正确。

⒆考查上下文串联。根据43空前Their wet sandals left marks可知孩子们的凉鞋在地上留下了痕迹，我要让他们多留一会。以提醒我对生活心存感激。故B项正确。

⒇C 考查动词辨析。动词realize意识到；doubt怀疑；forget忘记；prove证明；我要让孩子们留下的痕迹多留一会，以防我忘记自己是多么的富有。故C项正确。
