22.考查连词辨析。　根据第一段第三行“我们到市场上去的目的就是让年轻人去体验…”， 用so that 来引导目的状语从句，选B。

23.考查动词词义辨析。上文描写城市生活，按照常理城市本该是富裕繁华的景象，但后面却描写了城市里生活最艰辛的穷人，这是人们始料不及的，所以是“吃惊”之意，选D。

24.现代分词用法及动词词义辨析。前有walking home , 由under a low bridge可知是从很底的桥下“经过，通过”，选C.

25.考查形容词词义辨析。normal "正常的"；average"平均的；一般的，普通的";general"大体的，笼统的"; entire"整个的，全部的"；此处意思是作者见到的是无家可归的“一满家人”，选A。

26.考查介词用法辨析。此处表示目的，for 表目的"为了度过一晚上"，选D.

27.考查形容词比较级。此处的关键是than，所以句意是"比我们年轻的同伴想象的要更加糟糕"，选C.

28.考查动词短语辨析。由上句an air of sadness settled over the group, 可知悲伤地气氛围绕着队员，很多同学心情低落,可知只有"break down"意思为“身体（情绪）等跨了”，选B符合。

29.考查名词词义辨析。background背景不和句意，上句an air of sadness中 air 就有”气氛,环境”的含义，选A符合语境。

30.考查动词词义辨析。由句子That evening, our group spent hours talking about what we had----，可知此处意思是大家在讨论白天的所见所闻，所以选witness 有"见证，目睹"的含义，选C。

31.考查名词词义辨析。此处意思是我鼓励大家讨论内心的感受，由此排除B，不可能"激发""决定"；而C项"想法，D项""印象"也比较勉强,选A符合。
