My daughter commented, “Mommy, you 8to give to those people in9.’’ I replied, “Honey, they just use that money for alcohol or other10things.” She didn’t respond.

Answer 1

BAADA CADDB ABADC ABCAC
1.根據(jù)前面的money，可知，“我”好對于那些無家可歸的人是感到同情的，故選B項sorry。
2. 根據(jù)上文，“我”沒有了家，并負(fù)了大筆的債可推測出A項stopped正確。而且，下文也有提示。
3.根據(jù)上文，既沒有了家，又負(fù)了債，這樣的生活是凄苦的。故 A選項bitter最合適。其他三選項與此時“我”的心情不相符。  
4.從下文的提示again可推知，“我”又一次有了家，故生活發(fā)生了改變(change)。
5.從上文可知，“我”原來負(fù)債，現(xiàn)在還清了。只有pull最合適。
6.從下文的“Will work for food.”可知，那人手里拿著的是一個招牌，故選C項sign。
7. 從下文“我”說的話可知，“我”不想幫助那些無家可歸的人，認(rèn)為他們不過是買酒喝，因此“我”沒就沒有停車，而是passed by。
8.從第一段可知，“我”過去常常幫助那些無家可歸的人，故選D項used，構(gòu)成詞組used to，過去常常。
9.in need指需要幫助的人，與上文homeless people對應(yīng)，故選D項。
10.從上文的alcohol可知，“我”認(rèn)為他們會用給的錢買酒喝，這些是bad things，故選B項baD.
11.從下文from school 可知是到學(xué)校接女兒。Pick up用車接……；look up在……查找；ring up給……打電話；beat up痛打……。
12.從上文I said that, it didn’t feel right和something deep可知，作者心地善良，上次沒有幫助那些需要幫助的人，感到愧疚，所以這次一看到這些無家可歸的人，內(nèi)心深處在呼喊，一定要幫助他們。所以B項正確。
13. 從上下文可知，“我”按照自己的想法拉下窗子，和上文是順接關(guān)系，故選A項so。
14.從上文可知，作者是伸出手拿錢，只有reach符合此意。
15.從上下文，此人只想要77cents，卻意外的得到three quarters and two pennies，所以高興和感激地淚都出來了。Turn around轉(zhuǎn)身；break down（身體）垮下來、（機(jī)器等）出毛病；burst out突然……；speak up大聲點說。只有burst out符合文意。
16.由前文tears一詞可知為eyes。
17. 由上下文可推測，這些錢使他回家看望母親、過圣誕成為可能。故選B項possible。
18.前文提到他要回家，四個選項中只有l(wèi)eaving和bus搭配能表達(dá)此意，注意take和drive的主語是人，bus只能作其賓語。
19. 由上文和下文的got the best可知，作者認(rèn)為自己的善舉對于二人對很難忘，而對自己尤其如此。兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，選A項but符合文意。
20. 由上文可知，作者自己給了別人幫助，自己也收到了最好的饋贈(gift)。其它三選項均不符合文意。
