【解析】
试题分析：本文讲述的是我之前给穷人很多钱，但是后来在自己的经济情况发生变化以后就不再施舍别人。不过后来发生的一件事情让我改变了自己的看法，让我认为帮助别人仍然是我们应该做的事情。
31. C。上下文串联。从上文我给穷人很多钱说明我很同情他们。feel sorry for sb.为(某人)难过；同情(某人)。
32. D。上下文串联。从第41空后面的out of debt可以推断此处选A。
33. B。上下文串联。从前面一句中所讲的“我”没有了家、负债、几乎没有收入可以推断后来“我”“停止”给路边的人钱了。
34. B。“我”以前经常给路边的人钱，但后来“我”没有了家、负债、几乎没有收入，因此变得“愤愤不平的(bitter)”。
40.A 形容词辨析。从接下来的描述指可以看出情况在“慢慢”改善。
41.B 动词辨析。用动词pull显示出我偿还债务的艰难。
42.B 上下文串联。根据will work for food说明是打着“牌子”来说明自己的目的。
43.C 我无意帮助那些人，使用用pass by（经过）能恰当地表示我的心理状态。
44.C 名词辨析。A危险B爱C需要D悲哀；固定搭配。In need需要帮助，说明我当时处于困境之中，需要别人的帮助。
45.D 上下文串联。根据bad things可以判断这里是指不好的事情，用smoking正确。
46.C 连词辨析。但是恰好那里有77美分。这里表示的是转折关系。
47.C 短语辨析。Pick up是指开车接某人。Bring up抚养；carry out执行；take out取出，拿出；
48.B 上下文串联。本句话是指“在我内心深处”所以使用介词inside。
49.A 动词辨析。A摇；B推C吹D拿走；roll down my window摇下车窗。
50.A 固定搭配。reach into my ashtray把手伸进烟灰缸里。
46. C。动词辨析。A躲藏B站立C坐D睡觉。sit在这里的意思是“坐落在，被放在”。
47. A。固定搭配。burst out突然激动地喊叫。B出现C出发D站立；burst out with joy开心地大叫。
48. C。上下文串联“我”的帮助使得被帮助者“有可能”在圣诞节回家看望母亲。
49. D。从上下文内容可排除C、D两项；对于一个需要接济的人来说, 坐飞机的可能性并不大, 况且“我”给他的钱也很少。故选B项。
50. B。上下文串联。与后面的won’t forget对应。
考点：考察故事类短文
点评：本文讲述的是我之前给穷人很多钱，但是后来在自己的经济情况发生变化以后就不再施舍别人。不过后来发生的一件事情让我改变了自己的看法，让我认为帮助别人仍然是我们应该做的事情。本篇完形设空科学合理，考生很容易从中领会大意，从而下手会比较顺利，从选项中可以看出，本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用，但更加注重综合语言能力的运用，需要根据故事情节，了解词汇用法的同时，结合语境，做出准确的判断。

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives（观点）by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume（量）of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
【小题1】What can be inferred about the author as a child?
| A．He never watched TV. |
| B．He read what he had to. |
| C．He found reading unbelievable. |
| D．He considered reading part of his life. |
| A．the ability to speak |
| B．a way of writing |
| C．a sound quality |
| D．a world to write about |
| A．It opens up a wider world for him. |
| B．It helps him to realize his dream. |
| C．It makes his college life more interesting. |
| D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel. |
| A．How do I read? | B．What do I read? | C．Why do I read? | D．When do I read? |

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My brother, mother and I live in a very rural district on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from the most basic of services. Consequently, we take weekly trips to COSTCO to procure fuel and supplies. About a month ago, we’d finished loading up the SUV and prepared to leave. As I settled into my seat, I glanced down at the roadside, when a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully. Instantly, I was grateful I did.
The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ payment of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and figured: no one would throw this out, especially if it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed impractical. Although the form had been born on the wind, where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid, noted the names of the owners and pocketed the receipt. Recalling the parable of the Good Samaritan, I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and send it to them by post. Further, I imagined how crazy I’d be if I had misplaced my receipt. Much easier to attempt returning it than to leave them angry, upset, etc. over the loss.
By the end of the week, I received a beautiful thank-you letter from a very grateful and happy couple containing a hand written message and a gift card to use at any Starbuck’s. In her note, the wife explained how a gust of wind snatched their receipt from a pocket in her car’s passenger door. They had panicked and searched crazily for quite some time before giving up. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major loss by doing something that at first glance seemed minor or even unimportant.
【小题1】What did the author really mean when he said “Instantly, I was grateful I did.”?
| A．He was lucky to notice the paper on the roadside. |
| B．He was happy to do shopping in the district for it was convenient. |
| C．He was right to pick the paper up because it was important. |
| D．He was thankful to pick up the paper because he found it for a long time. |
| A．I rode my car to COSTCO to buy supplies a month ago. |
| B．The receipt was out of date, so the owner threw it away. |
| C．I waited on the roadside for the receipt owner for half a day. |
| D．I called up the owner to take back the receipt. |
| A．it was useless for him |
| B．he knew the owner was upset about losing it |
| C．the owner asked him to do so |
| D．he knew the owner would reward him for it |
| A．How I helped the couple | B．The loss of an important receipt |
| C．The owner of the receipt | D．Little things still mean a lot |

I live in a small town. Most people here traveled around by the bike in the past, and I learn how to ride a bike at an early age. Recently, electric bikes have become more and more popular, so they are convenient and can save energy. There is two in my family. One is for my mom and the another is for my dad. They sometimes allow me to riding them when they send me to buy something, but I seldom ride them. It doesn’t seem strangely for children to do that. The reason where I refuse to do so is that I can’t get used the speed of electric bikes. I prefer walking to riding it.
