38、useful D. easy34A. pass B. leave C. find D. choose35A. sudden B. rapid C. final D. hard答案与解析 语篇解读 本文是记叙文。作者拥抱了一个乞丐，这不仅温暖了对方，也让自己的心情跟着愉悦起来。16B 见下题解析。17A 根据本段末的 which I always did 可推测，作者很熟悉这位乞丐，所以这里应该是指作者“看到(saw)”他“像往常一样(as usual)”站在角落里。18D 根据全文语境可知，这位乞丐站在街角讨钱，所以当时他应该是正在跟其他人“谈话(talking to)”，而不会是争论、抱怨，
39、甚至打架。19D 逗号前的内容是作者直接从乞丐身旁走过却没有给钱的原因，故 so 符合此处语境。20C 这已经是当天作者第二次碰到这位乞丐了，故 again 符合此处语境。21A 根据下文中的 coins 和 bills 可知，这位乞丐向作者讨 “钱(money)” 。22B 根据第一段中的 important appointment 及第三段中的 busy with .可推测，当时作者满脑子都是这个约会。full of 表示“充满” ，符合此处语境。23C 根据两个人的对话可知，作者说自己身上没有硬币，这位乞丐说自己不“介意(mind)”收纸币。24C 根据乞丐的话及本句中的 laughed
40、 可知，他只是在“开玩笑(joking)” 。25B 根据本空后的 too 可知，作者也跟着“笑了(laughed)” 。26A 根据下段中的 Thank you . that way 可推测，作者以一种热情友好的方式碰了碰那位乞丐，故 warmly 符合此处语境。27B 根据本文多次出现的 appointment 可推测，作者当时的 “思绪(thoughts)”全在这次约会上。28C 见下题解析。29D 作者已经转身走了，所以这里应该是指他听到乞丐在后面“大声呼叫(called)”什么，然后“停下了(stopped)”脚步。30A 上文的 touch 提示了本题的答案。31D 这位乞丐叫住了
41、作者并表达了自己的感谢是因为这种事情“很少(seldom)”发生。32C 这位乞丐的话让作者很感动，所以他 “转过(turned)”身来，跑向乞丐，并拥抱了他。33B 根据上下文语境可知，作者的拥抱让这位乞丐感觉很“好(good)” 。34A 有些人直接从这位乞丐身边 “走过(pass)” ，就像他不存在一样。35D 听了乞丐的话，作者又拥抱了他，而且是紧紧地抱住了他，故 hard 符合此处语境。第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)阅读下面短文，在空格处填入适当的内容(每空不多于三个单词) 或使用括号中单词的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在相应位置上。Sarah:
