[语篇解读]本文讲述13岁的比尔认为自己已长大成人，然而父母 却不这样认为，他们告诉他，当他开始考虑帮助别人时，他才是真正的大人。听从父母的建议，有一天去买牛奶的时候，比尔帮助了一个无 家可归的老人。

1. A本题考查动词短语辨析。think about考虑;depend on 依赖;give up放弃;go on继续。结合句意“直到你开始考虑帮助他人时，你才是真正的大人”可知，A项正确。

2. B buy sth.for sb.为某人买某物，固定短语搭配。

3. C 由下句中的What’s wrong with you?可知，这个老人应是看起来生病了。sick病态的，不舒服的;afraid害怕的;glad高兴的;angry生气的。

4. D 根据上文老人的话 “ I'm hungry. I haven’t had any food for two days."可知比尔要带老人去的地方是饭馆。

5. D send out 发出;get down 下来，下(车) ；give back 归还;take away 带走，拿走。根据上下文意思可知吃完饭后，服务员把盘子收走。 故D项为正确答案。

6. C much接不可数名词，A、D两项排除。advice建议，trouble麻烦， 结合句意可知C项符合语境。

7. A根据句意可知老人是说“我永远也不会忘了你的恩情”，故A项正确。never从未，决不;always总是;usually通常;sometimes有时。

8. B 由老人说“You are a very good young man."可知，比尔听了之后是很高兴的。

9. A 根据下文的意思“因为是老板的生日，且他们是那天第一批顾客，所以这顿饭免费”可知这里指比尔和老人了解之后都感到很惊喜。

10. D这里表示因果关系，解释原因要用because。

[长难句]Bill and the old man learned in surprise that the food was free because it was the birthday of the boss,and they were the first customers (顾 客) that day.因为那天是老板的生日，且他们是第一批顾客，所以那顿 饭是免费的。当比尔和老人得知这些后都感到惊喜。本句是一个复合句。由that引导的宾语从句中还包含了一个原 因状语从句 because it was the birthday of the boss,and they were the first customers that day。
