My daughter commented, “Mommy, you 8to give to those people in9.’’ I replied, “Honey, they just use that money for alcohol or other10things.” She didn’t respond.

Answer 1

BAADA CADDB ABADC ABCAC
1.根据前面的money，可知，“我”好对于那些无家可归的人是感到同情的，故选B项sorry。
2. 根据上文，“我”没有了家，并负了大笔的债可推测出A项stopped正确。而且，下文也有提示。
3.根据上文，既没有了家，又负了债，这样的生活是凄苦的。故 A选项bitter最合适。其他三选项与此时“我”的心情不相符。  
4.从下文的提示again可推知，“我”又一次有了家，故生活发生了改变(change)。
5.从上文可知，“我”原来负债，现在还清了。只有pull最合适。
6.从下文的“Will work for food.”可知，那人手里拿着的是一个招牌，故选C项sign。
7. 从下文“我”说的话可知，“我”不想帮助那些无家可归的人，认为他们不过是买酒喝，因此“我”没就没有停车，而是passed by。
8.从第一段可知，“我”过去常常帮助那些无家可归的人，故选D项used，构成词组used to，过去常常。
9.in need指需要帮助的人，与上文homeless people对应，故选D项。
10.从上文的alcohol可知，“我”认为他们会用给的钱买酒喝，这些是bad things，故选B项baD.
11.从下文from school 可知是到学校接女儿。Pick up用车接……；look up在……查找；ring up给……打电话；beat up痛打……。
12.从上文I said that, it didn’t feel right和something deep可知，作者心地善良，上次没有帮助那些需要帮助的人，感到愧疚，所以这次一看到这些无家可归的人，内心深处在呼喊，一定要帮助他们。所以B项正确。
13. 从上下文可知，“我”按照自己的想法拉下窗子，和上文是顺接关系，故选A项so。
14.从上文可知，作者是伸出手拿钱，只有reach符合此意。
15.从上下文，此人只想要77cents，却意外的得到three quarters and two pennies，所以高兴和感激地泪都出来了。Turn around转身；break down（身体）垮下来、（机器等）出毛病；burst out突然……；speak up大声点说。只有burst out符合文意。
16.由前文tears一词可知为eyes。
17. 由上下文可推测，这些钱使他回家看望母亲、过圣诞成为可能。故选B项possible。
18.前文提到他要回家，四个选项中只有leaving和bus搭配能表达此意，注意take和drive的主语是人，bus只能作其宾语。
19. 由上文和下文的got the best可知，作者认为自己的善举对于二人对很难忘，而对自己尤其如此。两句之间是转折关系，选A项but符合文意。
20. 由上文可知，作者自己给了别人帮助，自己也收到了最好的馈赠(gift)。其它三选项均不符合文意。
