The taxi dropped me__19__across the street from Hardee's.A moment later,just as I was about to__20__the restaurant door,two street children ran towards me with full__21__for food.

Being a veteran(經(jīng)驗豐富的) traveler__22__having once lived in Egypt for a year,I was no stranger to children__23__or people asking me for help.But seldom had I been so__24__by the sincerity of the request.

I turned back to the__25__and asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food.At the counter I__26__two hamburgers for the boys.

When their food was ready,I walked back__27__and invited them in to eat with me.“No!” they cried__28__.“We do not belong in such a nice place!”

__29__to persuade them otherwise,I brought the__30__out,and as they took the burgers,they showered me with 30 seconds of nonstop__31__,praying that Allah would always bless me.

And this is__32__,five years later,I still ask for God's blessings for those two Egyptian boys.I__33__as sincerely as they had for me,__34__that while they had nothing material to give,they had given me something__35__: an awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart.

作者在埃及旅游時遇到兩個乞討的孩子。在作者給他們買下食物后,他們不斷地為作者祈禱,希望安拉保佑作者。作者由此明白:雖然有時別人不能給予我們物質(zhì)上的回報,但是他們所給予的精神上的東西是更好的。

16.A 根據(jù)文章前面的敘述,“我”從Luxor坐火車去Cairo旅游,在凌晨1點,“我”到達(reach)了目的地Cairo。

17.C 根據(jù)下文的“a couple of fast­food restaurants would be open there”可以判斷出,“我”餓了,想找吃飯的地方,故正確答案為C。

18.B 由于“我”以前去過Cairo,知道此時城里的大多數(shù)餐館都關(guān)門(close down)了。let down使失望,放下;get down記下,寫下;put down記下,均不符合語境。

19.D 出租車把“我”放在了Hardee's對面的街道。短語drop sb off意思是“中途卸客”,符合語境。

20.D 作者要進去就餐,當然要去推開(open)那家餐館的門。

21.C 根據(jù)文章的語境,街道上的兩個男孩向作者跑來,叫喊(cry)著向他要食物。

22.B 根據(jù)空前后的內(nèi)容,可以知道這里是并列的關(guān)系,作者作為一個經(jīng)常旅游的人,又在埃及生活過一年,很熟悉孩子們的這種乞討行為,所以要用as well as,意思是“和,又”。apart from(除了……外);in favour of(贊成);in return for(作為對……的回報),均與語境不符。

23.C 根據(jù)語境,可以知道“我”對于乞討的人并沒有感到奇怪。

24.D 根據(jù)語境可知,“我”為孩子真誠的請求所感動(moved)。surprised吃驚的;regretted遺憾的;appointed約定的,均不符合語境。

25.A 根據(jù)下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道,這里指的是那兩個男孩兒(boys)。

26.A 根據(jù)語境可知,“我”為那兩個孩子點(order)了漢堡包。demand強烈要求;request要求,請求;deserve值得,均不符合語境。

27.B 漢堡包準備好時,“我”走到外邊(outside),邀請孩子們和“我”一起吃飯。

28.C 孩子們聽到“我”的邀請,發(fā)出了令人驚訝的喊聲:“不,我們不應(yīng)待在這樣的好地方!”

29.A 根據(jù)下文的意思可知,“我”沒能(unable)說服那兩個孩子進來。

30.B “我”把買來的食物(food)帶出了餐館。

31.A 當那兩個孩子拿到食物后,不斷地祈禱安拉保佑“我”。只有A項符合文意。

32.B 這里作者要告訴我們原因(why),“我”為什么一直為那兩個埃及孩子祈禱。

33.C 根據(jù)上文的“praying that Allah would always bless me”可知,作者也這樣祈禱著。

34.D 表示作者永遠記著(remember)這一點……

35.A 雖然他們無法給予我物質(zhì)上的回報,但是他們給我的祈禱比物質(zhì)上的東西更好(greater)。
