Answer 1

[文章大意]本文是一篇记叙文。在纽约，Michael Greenberg是一个很受人们喜爱的人，这不是因为他是什么大人物，而是因为他的行为：在冬天的时候他会在街上给冻着双手的行人送手套。

1. A根据与前句构成的转折意义可以推知，街上的人们都知道(know about) 他。

2. D联系倒数第二段中的many poor New Yorkers ,可知这里是说特别是那些贫穷的(poor) 人都知道他。

3. B前面说别人叫他"手套"Greenberg ,故这里是说他是如何得到这个名字的。

4. B结合下文中的"His briefcase always has some gloves."，再联系上文的描述，可知他是与众不同(different) 的，

5. A根据下文中who引导的从句的意思可以推知，他不像其他纽约人那样表现(act) 。

6. C此处的动作是和上文中的look at连续发生的，所以是在街上行色匆匆地走(hurry down) 。

7. B联系下文中的"He stops when he... someone with no gloves."可知，他是在环顾周围的人(people) ，寻找没有戴手套的人。

8. D当他看到(sees) 有人没有戴手套时，他就送给他们一副。

9. C手套送完之后他就继续前行(moves on) ,寻找更多没有戴手套的人。

10. A他寻找没戴手套的人，也就是寻找更多冻着手(hands) 的人。

11. C根据上一段的内容可知，在冬天Michael Greenberg赠送(gives away) 手套。

12. D Michael Greenberg在冬天要分发好多手套，所以在其他时间他要购买(buys) 手套。

13. B联系句中的"...he has many in his apartment."可以推知，了解他的人也会送给(send) 他手套。

14. C此处叙述他是什么时候开始(began) 做这件事情的。

15. A现在许多贫穷的纽约人知道他并且理解(understand) 他的行为。

16. D不了解他的人当然会对他的行为感到吃惊(surprised by) 。

17. D那些对他的行为感到吃惊的人并没有意识到Greenberg 这么做是为了让那些需要帮助的人感到高兴(happy) 。

18. B联系下文中的"Michael's father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone happier."可知，他的整个家庭(family) 都这么做。

19. C Greenberg也有同样的感受，所以他才会也这么做。

20. A此处是对上文的总结：一副手套可能是一件小(small) 事情，但是在冬天却会起着很大的作用。
