This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a  26 effect on me. I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27  but whose actions gave a new 28  to the words—kind and generous.

I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early  29  . A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.

A BMW car  31  on the other side of the street and an executive（主管）who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about  32 years old. He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie. He walked 33  across the street and over to the homeless man. Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 34  and then he sat down and took off his gloves（手套）, beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks. Then he  35  them to the homeless man. The homeless man took them and stared with a/an  36  mouth.

As he drove off, I couldn’t  37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had  38  the pedal（踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot!  I stood there and the looks of  40    appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.

Two men of about the same age,   41 very different lives had met and the one who was 42 in materials had offered  43 than his shoes. He had left his BMW car and  44 down from his high position. He lifted up the other man when he offered respect,  45 and real generosity.

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要讲述了作者自己在街上看到的善行，一位富有的老人对于一位乞讨的老人慷慨解囊，并且将自己的手套和袜子都给他取暖，从中告诉我们人生中真正的慷慨是怎样的。

1.A考查形容词：从下一句可以看出：这件事对我影响很大。have a strong effect on…对……有很大影响。

2.B考查副词：从下文可以推出：我本人（personally）不认识他们。

3.C考查名词：作者认为：他的行为赋予了善良和慷慨新的意义（meaning）。

4.D考查名词：从上下文易看出：故事发生在初冬（winter）。（前面有cold，后文有leather gloves）

5.D考查动词：一位在街角乞讨的老人。search for寻找，搜寻；make for走向；blame for该受责备，应负责；beg for乞求，乞讨。

6.C考查词组：一两宝马停在了街边。call up打电话给……，召集，使想起；break up打碎，解散，（关系等）破裂；pull up（车）停下；speed up加速。

7.C考查上下文串联：由最后一段的第一句的（Two men of about the same age）可得。

8.A考查副词：指老人直接地向乞讨的老人走去。

9.A考查名词：因为沿街乞讨的老人要零钱，所以坐宝马的老人给他许多钱（money）。

10.B考查动词：因为乞讨的老人就在身边，坐宝马的老人又是很尊重地送给他，所以选hand“递过去”。

11.C考查形容词：一个沿街乞讨的老人收到如此的恩惠，只能是眼睛瞪得大大的，张着嘴，看着对方。

12.D 考查词组：couldn’t help doing意为“禁不住地做某事”。句意为：我情不白禁地想……

13.D 考查动词：因为鞋和袜子都已经送人了，所以这也许是第一次光（bare）着脚踩（pressed）汽车的踏板。

14.C考查形容词：因为鞋和袜子都已经送人了，所以只能是光（bare）着脚开宝马。

15.B考查名词：句意为：面对此情此景，我和乞讨老人都很吃惊（astonishment）。

16.A 考查连词：由文意：两位老人年龄相同，但生活是明显的不一样。

17.A 考查形容词： 开宝马的老人在物质方面是成功的。careful小心；useful有用；helpful有帮助的，均与文意不符。

18.B考查词组：意为：给的不仅仅是鞋。rather than而不是，宁可也不愿；more than多于，超出，不止，不仅仅；other than除了，不同于，非；better than比……好。

19.C考查动词：文意为：老人从宝马车里出来，并放下（step down）自己高高在上的身份，帮助需要帮助的人。
