解析试题分析：本文讲述了一个失意的有钱人，尽管有钱但是他一点都感觉不到快乐幸福，相反，他内心充满了悲伤与空虚。一天他想跳河去结束自己的生命，但是一个乞丐的一番话却让他幡然醒悟，意识到了幸福真正的含义。
【小题1】C。名词辨析。A．渴望； B．贫穷；C．悲伤；D．成功。But表示转折关系，表明后面的内容和前面happiness相反，而且根据and后面的emptiness也可以判断此空应该填表示负面情绪的词，故答案选C。
【小题2】D。动词辨析。A．斗争 ；B．想知道；C．管理；D．计划。从下文可知他没有自杀，所以此处是表示他只是想这样做，intend to do “打算”，故答案选D。
【小题3】A。动词辨析。A．接近；B．打扰C．劝阻；D．叫喊。interrupt 表示打断别人说话，persuade指说服某人做某事，而shout指向某人大喊，从故事发生的情景可以判断，乞丐是向他走过来，故答案选A。
【小题4】B。动词短语辨析。A．捡起；B．拿出；搜寻；D．上交。根据空后his wallet from his pocket and gave all the money inside to the beggar可以判断这个想自杀的人拿出了钱包，故答案选B。
【小题5】C。动词辨析。A．记起；B．拒绝；C．报道；D．复述。由前面这个人说的话“Take all of this，”和乞丐所说的“All of this?”可以判断这是乞丐在重复那个人的话，故答案选C。
【小题6】D。副词辨析。A．远处；B．向；C．边；D．在下。从上文可知这个人站在桥上打算跳进河里去结束自己的生命，由此判断他一边说一边朝下看着河水，故答案选D。
【小题7】A。名词辨析。A．态度；B．命令；C．；D．礼貌。从上文可知这个人感到生活失意，打算跳河自杀，所以态度是非常消极的，其他选项不符合语境，故答案选A。
【小题8】B。副词辨析。A．高兴；B．匆忙；C．无望；D．慷慨。从情景推测乞丐看到这个人说话的表情，态度时，应该是迅速把钱还给了他，此处修饰动词return，应该用描述动作的词，故答案选B。
【小题9】A。动词辨析。A．震惊；B．害怕；C．担忧；D．鼓励。从情理可知乞丐是因为穷才去靠乞讨为生，别人给他钱他却不要，所以这种行为是让人费解，令人吃惊的，故答案选A。
【小题10】B。动词辨析。A．发送；B．给；C．供应；D．捐赠。从上文可知这个人是打算把钱包里全部的钱都送给乞丐，故答案选B。
【小题11】A。动词辨析。A．意识到；B．恨；C．喜欢；D．击打。根据下文内容可以判断以下是这个人从这件事中所感悟到的，答案选A。
【小题12】C。介词短语辨析。A．凭本性；B．故意；C．轮流；D．转圈。从情理可知给予别人快乐幸福也会让自己产生满足感，也会给自己带来快乐，这两者是相辅相成的，故答案选C。
【小题13】D。动词辨析。A．买；B．鉴赏；C．供奉；D．分享。根据上文讲述的故事内容可知，送给别人快乐反过来也会给自己带来快乐，正如“与人玫瑰手留余香”，所以故事给我们的启示就是当和别人一同快乐的时候，才是真正的快乐，故答案选D。
