50、通过方式”。23解析：选C。“我”经常到这儿买报纸，渐渐认识了这个年轻人。get to know的意思是“渐渐认识”。24解析：选A。根据One way to help is to buy.及a young homeless man可知这个年轻人“卖(selling)”杂志。25解析：选A。由下文的we were born in the same month可知我们的“生日( birthday)”非常近。26解析：选D。我们的生日相近“也就是说(meant)”我们的生日在同一个月。27解析：选B。根据后文“我”祝贺他，可知是在他的生日后“不久(shortly)”我们相遇。28解析：选D。根据他

51、的回答及下一段开头内容可知“我”在没有丝毫“考虑(thinking)”的情况下，祝贺他生日快乐之后，问他是否度过了一个愉快的生日。29解析：选C。因为生活窘迫，年轻人被问到生日是否过得愉快时，不好意思地“低下头(looked down)”。30解析：选A。明知道人家无家可归，家里很穷，不可能像一般人一样去庆祝自己的生日，还要问那样的问题，作者感到自己非常傻(竟然没有想到这一点)。31解析：选C。根据下文的no presents，no cake，nothing可知此处指这个年轻人过生日的那天“孤独一人(alone)”。32答案：B33解析：选C。“幸好(Luckily)”，针线筐里“剩下(lef

52、t)”足够的纱线，“我”可以给他织围巾作为迟到的生日礼物。34解析：选A。根据下文的I washed the yarn so the scarf.可知。35解析：选B。“因为(because)”“我”不常用这些纱线织东西，所以纱线有点脏。前后句之间是因果关系。36解析：选D。洗了之后的纱线自然会很干净，与前一句中的dirty形成对比。37解析：选B。由下文随身带着礼物可知“我”“希望(hoped)”遇到他。38解析：选D。“我”随身“带着(carried)”要送给年轻人的礼物。39解析：选A。从第四段的on his 25th birthday with no presents，no cake，

53、nothing可知，这个年轻人过25岁生日的时候没有生日礼物，没有蛋糕。所以“我”希望在自己过生日的时候能够与他分享蛋糕。a piece of不与present搭配。40解析：选A。the light in his eyes指他高兴的眼神。上文的He was very happy是提示。单词填空：41.represents 42. likely 43. greeted 44. major 45. misunderstand 46. truth 47. unique 48. length 49. various 50.tourism选词填空：51. on the contrary 52.is f

56、ally dont know what to do. on 书面表达It is effective and convenient for you to do some shopping on the net because you neednt go out of your home. Besides， the large varieties of goods on the net are effortlessly comparable and easy to choose. However， you have to spend extra money on the goods. And sometimes the incomplete payment system will result in revealing your personal information， which is not safe. What is more， it is unsuitable for consumers to purchase the goods in eager demand on the net.
