Answer 1

1. B很多人认为，无家可归者都在发展中国家。事实上，无家可归者无处不在。很显然，这里描述的是一个客观的事实，所以用truth。

result结果;reason原因;idea想法，观点。

2. D对应上文以及常识w知，发展中国家相比发达国家是贫穷的，而德国是发达国家，所以应该选d,意为"富裕的"。traditional传统的;developing发展的;typical典型的。

3. C句意：Kurt Muller和他的妻子Rita花了 11年时间为德国首都柏林那些无家可归的人做饭。本段最后一句也有提示。

make meals做饭。

4. a根据下文"他们待在家里为无家可归的人做三明治" 和本句中的first看出，此处是"开始"的意思。meet遇见;call叫;leave离开。这三个词与one long hot summer 不搭配。故选a。

5. D be away on holiday外出度假。asleep睡着的;alone 单独的;across穿过。

6. B set up a table摆桌子。句意：Kurt和他妻子待在家里，做三明治，在街上摆一张桌子，给那些无家可归的人提供食物。bring up抚养;put aside储存;give away泄露，分发。

7. A由下文的”What these people also need is warmth and …"可以看出，这里表达的意思是：Muller夫妇意识到仅仅为这些无家可归者提供食物和衣服是不够的，他们还需要温暖和关心。所以选enough (足够的) 。

8. D fame名誉，名声;freedom自由;courage勇气;caring 关心，关爱。该空要根据连词and和其所连接的warmth 判断。"温暖"和"关爱"并列，故选d。

9. A句意：Muller太妇毫不犹豫地把他们的电话号码给街上的人们，并告诉他们在任何时候都可以给他们打电话。don't hesitate to do sth意为"毫不犹豫做某事"，符合语境。

agree同意;pretend假装;intend打算。 

10. C make sure确保。这里表达的是这对夫妇为无家可归者服务时的真诚。句意：Rita确保家里有人接(无家可归者打来的) 电话，并且他们的家门总是为无处过夜的人敞开着。

make sense有意义;find out发现;work out计算出。 

11. A open开着的;crowded拥挤的;noisy嘈杂的;near附近的。故选a项。 

12. D句中宾语为all their money ,故用spend,意为"花费"。 

13. B由于这对夫妇花完了所有的钱，因此Kurt拜访了一些食品和服装公司，请求他们的捐助。后面的donations 也是提示。pay for为....付款;ask for请求，要求;look into调查;carry out执行。只有B项符合题意。 

14. C如今，有三十多个公司定期为之捐赠食物和其他的物品。四个选项中只有regularly (定期地) 符合语境。completely完全地;calmly平静地;roughly差不多，大致。 

15. C deliver传送，交付。此处指由志愿者把所捐赠的食物和物品分发给无家可归的人。

advertise做广告;sell 卖;lend借。 

16. A句意：人们还把衣服和钱送给他们，并且一家制鞋商捐赠了新鞋子。故选donate ,意为"捐助"。前面的句子有该词的名词形式出现。produce生产;design设计; collect搜集。 

17. B payment报酬。由下文Rita所说的话可知，这里表达的意思是：Kurt和Rita乐于助人，辛勤劳动，不求任何回报。permission允许;direction方向;support支持。 

18. D他们把无家可归的人当作自己的孩子，把自己当作他们的父母，而父母不应该希望通过帮助自己的孩子来赚钱。故选   D. borrow借;raise筹集;save节约。 

19. C尽管Rita承认自己经常感到疲劳，但是她愿意继续她的工作。从上文中Kurt和Rita为那些无家可归的人所做的一切可知，他们付出很多，所以她一定很劳累。根据语境选C项。 

20. B他们的行为已经使受助者的生活发生了变化。

make a difference"有影响，产生变化"，符合题意。
