短文大意：本文是一篇小故事，讲述了作者14岁时曾经离家出走的经历。他遇到一个流浪汉，告诉他两条人生经验：第一，永远不要通过封面来判断一本书，因为封面会愚弄你；第二是学习如何阅读，因为只有一样东西是人们无法从你身上拿走的，那就是你的智慧。这些话作者一直记到今天。

【1】句意：他问我是不是离家出走了。考查宾语从句引导词辨析。how怎样，问方式状态；why为什么，问原因；if是否，表疑问；that无实义。根据下文我的回答“Not exactly, sir.”，可知if符合句意，故选C。

【2】句意：谈了一会儿，他告诉我他有东西要给我看，和我分享。考查动词辨析题。A. share分享；B. deal分配；C. talk谈话；D. eat吃。根据上文he had something to show me他有东西要给我看，可知share符合句意，故选A。

【3】句意：我们走了好几个街区一直到市中心的公共图书馆。考查连词辨析题。A. as由于，表原因；B. then然后，表顺承；C. until直到……，表示主句动作一直持续到从句动作发生时为止；D. after在……以后。主句动词walk是持续性动词，持续到从句动词come upon发生；根据句意语境，可知选C。

【4】句意：第一，永远不要通过封面来判断一本书，因为封面会欺骗你。考查动词辨析题。A. likes喜欢；B. fools愚弄；C. interests使产生兴趣；D. surprises 使惊奇。never从不，表否定；for因为，表原因。本句前后是因果关系，根据句意语境，可知fool符合句意，故选B。

【5】句意：当我妻子去世的时候，我意识到有些事情我还没有经历过。考查动词辨析题。A. believed相信；B. knew知道；C. thought认为；D. realized意识。根据句意语境，可知ABC三项意思都与句意不合，故选D。

【6】句意：其中之一就是在街上像流浪汉一样生活。考查动词辨析题。A. look看；B. live生存C. feel感觉；D. seem好像。like a bum像流浪汉一样，根据句意语境，可知ACD三项意思都与句意不合，故选B。

【7】句意：第二是学会如何阅读，因为只有一件事是别人无法从你身上拿走的，那就是你的智慧——记住。考查动词辨析题。A. wisdom智慧；B. freedom自由；C. courage勇气；D. remember记得，动词。物主代词your后接名词，可排除D项。根据句意语境，可知wisdom符合句意，故选A。

【8】句意：直到今天我还记得。考查动词辨析题。A. forgotten忘记；B. kept保持；C. understood理解；D. remembered记得。根据上文His parting request was for me to never forget what he taught me. 他要我永远不忘他教我的东西，可知remember符合句意，故选D。
