解析：

(1)

B項(xiàng)所指“行竊的扒手”，與謂語(yǔ)不一致，不定式作主語(yǔ)表示具體動(dòng)作，因此選A項(xiàng)，指“行竊”這一現(xiàn)象．

(2)

行竊是犯罪，其他三項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不對(duì)．

(3)

行竊的數(shù)字不斷擴(kuò)大，B項(xiàng)表示“失去控制”，這與實(shí)際情況顯然不符．

(4)

錢被扒手偷去了，用lose表示“喪失，失去”．

(5)

be safe from表示“不遇到……，安全”，答題時(shí)可聯(lián)想其短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞save sb．from sth．

(6)

as引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，as they are called的意思是“人們所說的”．

(7)

此處描述18世紀(jì)英國(guó)的情況，從本段末句可知現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不這么做了，因此選D項(xiàng)．

(8)

既然描述18世紀(jì)的情況，謂語(yǔ)只能用一般過去時(shí)．

(9)

which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句(what只引導(dǎo)名詞性從句)，并在從句中作主語(yǔ)．

(10)

前面講的懲罰被廢除，因此用however連接上文，表語(yǔ)義的轉(zhuǎn)折．

(11)

從下文可知來(lái)自南美的小偷最厲害，技藝更熟練，下文的expert有提示．

(12)

介詞of表示“整體中的一部分”，many of the pickpockets表示“這些扒手中很多人”．

(13)

在學(xué)校接受訓(xùn)練．

(14)

“在這個(gè)時(shí)候就可以畢業(yè)了”，when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)．

(15)

用假人作教具，口袋中有鈴鐺，你去偷東西時(shí)不碰響鈴把錢偷到手，這時(shí)你就可以畢業(yè)了，這學(xué)校叫“鈴兒響叮鐺學(xué)�！保�

(16)

小偷青睞的地方，他們喜歡出沒的地方是銀行、機(jī)場(chǎng)等．

(17)

小偷并非總有搭檔，因此用C而非forever．

(18)

as表身份，表示“作為”．

(19)

本句是個(gè)提醒，要想不成為扒手的獵物的話，不定式作狀語(yǔ)，表目的．

(20)

我們有必要這么做．

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list   36  in our past that we felt   37    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．

I like to give my praise to anyone whenever and wherever I can. I'll tell you why.
It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had been lost, and my feet  36  . The loaded plates I was carrying  37  to be heavier and heavier. Tired and  38  , I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice－cream  39  a dozen times, I was ready to  40  . Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. "Well done," he said, "you've looked after us really well."   41  my tiredness disappeared.

And yet,   47  moat of us are only too ready to  48  to others the cold wind of criticism, we are  49  to give our fellows the warm  50  of praise. Why one word of praise can bring such pleasure?
It's  51  how chary(吝惜的) we are about praising. Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it. It's especially  52  to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes  53 
or unmentioned. Do you, however,   54  tell your laundry(洗衣店) manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact, to give praise costs the giver  55  but a moment's though and a moment's effort.
