My daughter commented, “Mommy, you 43   to give to those people in  44  .’’ I replied, “Honey, they just use that money for alcohol or other 45 things.” She didn’t respond.

Answer 1

36-55 BAADA CADDB ABADC ABCAC

36．根據(jù)前面的money，可知，“我”好對(duì)于那些無(wú)家可歸的人是感到同情的，故選B項(xiàng)sorry。
37． 根據(jù)上文，“我”沒(méi)有了家，并負(fù)了大筆的債可推測(cè)出A項(xiàng)stopped正確。而且，下文也有提示。
38．根據(jù)上文，既沒(méi)有了家，又負(fù)了債，這樣的生活是凄苦的。故 A選項(xiàng)bitter最合適。其他三選項(xiàng)與此時(shí)“我”的心情不相符。  
39．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)。
40．從上文可知，“我”原來(lái)負(fù)債，現(xiàn)在還清了。只有pull最合適。
41．從下文的“Will work for food.”可知，那人手里拿著的是一個(gè)招牌，故選C項(xiàng)sign。
42． 從下文“我”說(shuō)的話可知，“我”不想幫助那些無(wú)家可歸的人，認(rèn)為他們不過(guò)是買(mǎi)酒喝，因此“我”沒(méi)就沒(méi)有停車，而是passed by。
43．從第一段可知，“我”過(guò)去常常幫助那些無(wú)家可歸的人，故選D項(xiàng)used，構(gòu)成詞組used to，過(guò)去常常。
44．in need指需要幫助的人，與上文homeless people對(duì)應(yīng)，故選D項(xiàng)。
45．從上文的alcohol可知，“我”認(rèn)為他們會(huì)用給的錢(qián)買(mǎi)酒喝，這些是bad things，故選B項(xiàng)baD.
46．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……。
47．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(méi)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(wú)家可歸的人，內(nèi)心深處在呼喊，一定要幫助他們。所以B項(xiàng)正確。
48． 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(xiàng)so。
49．從上文可知，作者是伸出手拿錢(qián)，只有reach符合此意。
50．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(lái)了。Turn around轉(zhuǎn)身；break down（身體）垮下來(lái)、（機(jī)器等）出毛病；burst out突然……；speak up大聲點(diǎn)說(shuō)。只有burst out符合文意。
51．由前文tears一詞可知為eyes。
52． 由上下文可推測(cè)，這些錢(qián)使他回家看望母親、過(guò)圣誕成為可能。故選B項(xiàng)possible。
53．前文提到他要回家，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有l(wèi)eaving和bus搭配能表達(dá)此意，注意take和drive的主語(yǔ)是人，bus只能作其賓語(yǔ)。
54． 由上文和下文的got the best可知，作者認(rèn)為自己的善舉對(duì)于二人對(duì)很難忘，而對(duì)自己尤其如此。兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，選A項(xiàng)but符合文意。
55． 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(zèng)(gift)。其它三選項(xiàng)均不符合文意。
