[語篇解讀]　“我”所住的城市有很多無家可歸的人，我們用一些獨(dú)特的方式來幫助他們。

解析：　根據(jù)空前的small ways及空后的to buy their monthly magazine可知，這里指沒有很多錢也可以幫助那些無家可歸的人。

答案：　C

解析：　doing this指上文的to buy their monthly magazine。因此，本句話的意思是“通過這樣做，我……”。介詞by的意思是“通過……方式”。

答案：　D

解析：　“我”經(jīng)常到這兒買報(bào)紙，漸漸認(rèn)識(shí)了這個(gè)年輕人。get to know的意思是“漸漸認(rèn)識(shí)”。

答案：　C

解析：　根據(jù)One way to help is to buy...及a young homeless man可知這個(gè)年輕人“賣(selling)”雜志。

答案：　A

解析：　由下文的we were born in the same month可知我們的“生日(birthday)”非常近。

答案：　A

解析：　我們的生日相近“也就是說(meant)”我們的生日在同一個(gè)月。

答案：　D

解析：　根據(jù)后文“我”祝賀他，可知是在他的生日后“不久(shortly)”我們相遇。

答案：　B

解析：　根據(jù)他的回答及下一段開頭內(nèi)容可知“我”在沒有絲毫“考慮(thinking)”的情況下，祝賀他生日快樂之后，問他是否度過了一個(gè)愉快的生日。

答案：　D

解析：　因?yàn)樯罹狡�，年輕人被問到生日是否過得愉快時(shí)，不好意思地“低下頭(looked down)”。

答案：　C

解析：　明知道人家無家可歸，家里很窮，不可能像一般人一樣去慶祝自己的生日，還要問那樣的問題，作者感到自己非常傻(竟然沒有想到這一點(diǎn))。

答案：　A

解析：　根據(jù)下文的no presents，no cake，nothing可知此處指這個(gè)年輕人過生日的那天“孤獨(dú)一人(alone)”。

答案：　C

答案：　B

解析：　“幸好(Luckily)”，針線筐里“剩下(left)”足夠的紗線，“我”可以給他織圍巾作為遲到的生日禮物。

答案：　C

解析：　根據(jù)下文的I washed the yarn so the scarf可知。

答案：　A

解析：　“因?yàn)?because)”“我”不常用這些紗線織東西，所以紗線有點(diǎn)臟。前后句之間是因果關(guān)系。

答案：　B

解析：　洗了之后的紗線自然會(huì)很干凈，與前一句中的dirty形成對(duì)比。

答案：　D

解析：　由下文隨身帶著禮物可知“我”“希望(hoped)”遇到他。

答案：　B

解析：　“我”隨身“帶著(carried)”要送給年輕人的禮物。

答案：　D

解析：　從第四段的on his 25th birthday with no presents，no cake，nothing可知，這個(gè)年輕人過25歲生日的時(shí)候沒有生日禮物，沒有蛋糕。所以“我”希望在自己過生日的時(shí)候能夠與他分享蛋糕。a piece of不與present搭配。

答案：　A

解析：　the light in his eyes指他高興的眼神。上文的He was very happy是提示。

答案：　A

Dear editor,

I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city every year because there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here.

The peacocks mostly live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. Visitors usually throw food to them, but they don’t think about at all whether the food is good or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, and some even died, eating the bad food given by visitors.

I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the bird, but they don’t realize that they may be doing them harm. Visitors should be told that what they have done is harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped.

Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds to look after them carefully.

                                                                     Yours,
