Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making 3        for the homeless of Berlin,Germany's capital. They first 4      one long hot summer when most Germans were 5     on holiday.

The Mullers didn't 9     to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita 10     there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always 11     to anyone who couldn't face another night on the street.

Answer 1

1. B很多人認(rèn)為，無家可歸者都在發(fā)展中國家。事實(shí)上，無家可歸者無處不在。很顯然，這里描述的是一個客觀的事實(shí)，所以用truth。

result結(jié)果;reason原因;idea想法，觀點(diǎn)。

2. D對應(yīng)上文以及常識w知，發(fā)展中國家相比發(fā)達(dá)國家是貧窮的，而德國是發(fā)達(dá)國家，所以應(yīng)該選d,意為"富裕的"。traditional傳統(tǒng)的;developing發(fā)展的;typical典型的。

3. C句意：Kurt Muller和他的妻子Rita花了 11年時間為德國首都柏林那些無家可歸的人做飯。本段最后一句也有提示。

make meals做飯。

4. a根據(jù)下文"他們待在家里為無家可歸的人做三明治" 和本句中的first看出，此處是"開始"的意思。meet遇見;call叫;leave離開。這三個詞與one long hot summer 不搭配。故選a。

5. D be away on holiday外出度假。asleep睡著的;alone 單獨(dú)的;across穿過。

6. B set up a table擺桌子。句意：Kurt和他妻子待在家里，做三明治，在街上擺一張桌子，給那些無家可歸的人提供食物。bring up撫養(yǎng);put aside儲存;give away泄露，分發(fā)。

7. A由下文的”What these people also need is warmth and …"可以看出，這里表達(dá)的意思是：Muller夫婦意識到僅僅為這些無家可歸者提供食物和衣服是不夠的，他們還需要溫暖和關(guān)心。所以選enough (足夠的) 。

8. D fame名譽(yù)，名聲;freedom自由;courage勇氣;caring 關(guān)心，關(guān)愛。該空要根據(jù)連詞and和其所連接的warmth 判斷。"溫暖"和"關(guān)愛"并列，故選d。

9. A句意：Muller太婦毫不猶豫地把他們的電話號碼給街上的人們，并告訴他們在任何時候都可以給他們打電話。don't hesitate to do sth意為"毫不猶豫做某事"，符合語境。

agree同意;pretend假裝;intend打算。 

10. C make sure確保。這里表達(dá)的是這對夫婦為無家可歸者服務(wù)時的真誠。句意：Rita確保家里有人接(無家可歸者打來的) 電話，并且他們的家門總是為無處過夜的人敞開著。

make sense有意義;find out發(fā)現(xiàn);work out計算出。 

11. A open開著的;crowded擁擠的;noisy嘈雜的;near附近的。故選a項。 

12. D句中賓語為all their money ,故用spend,意為"花費(fèi)"。 

13. B由于這對夫婦花完了所有的錢，因此Kurt拜訪了一些食品和服裝公司，請求他們的捐助。后面的donations 也是提示。pay for為....付款;ask for請求，要求;look into調(diào)查;carry out執(zhí)行。只有B項符合題意。 

14. C如今，有三十多個公司定期為之捐贈食物和其他的物品。四個選項中只有regularly (定期地) 符合語境。completely完全地;calmly平靜地;roughly差不多，大致。 

15. C deliver傳送，交付。此處指由志愿者把所捐贈的食物和物品分發(fā)給無家可歸的人。

advertise做廣告;sell 賣;lend借。 

16. A句意：人們還把衣服和錢送給他們，并且一家制鞋商捐贈了新鞋子。故選donate ,意為"捐助"。前面的句子有該詞的名詞形式出現(xiàn)。produce生產(chǎn);design設(shè)計; collect搜集。 

17. B payment報酬。由下文Rita所說的話可知，這里表達(dá)的意思是：Kurt和Rita樂于助人，辛勤勞動，不求任何回報。permission允許;direction方向;support支持。 

18. D他們把無家可歸的人當(dāng)作自己的孩子，把自己當(dāng)作他們的父母，而父母不應(yīng)該希望通過幫助自己的孩子來賺錢。故選   D. borrow借;raise籌集;save節(jié)約。 

19. C盡管Rita承認(rèn)自己經(jīng)常感到疲勞，但是她愿意繼續(xù)她的工作。從上文中Kurt和Rita為那些無家可歸的人所做的一切可知，他們付出很多，所以她一定很勞累。根據(jù)語境選C項。 

20. B他們的行為已經(jīng)使受助者的生活發(fā)生了變化。

make a difference"有影響，產(chǎn)生變化"，符合題意。
