Answer 1

[文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。在紐約，Michael Greenberg是一個很受人們喜愛的人，這不是因為他是什么大人物，而是因為他的行為：在冬天的時候他會在街上給凍著雙手的行人送手套。

1. A根據(jù)與前句構成的轉折意義可以推知，街上的人們都知道(know about) 他。

2. D聯(lián)系倒數(shù)第二段中的many poor New Yorkers ,可知這里是說特別是那些貧窮的(poor) 人都知道他。

3. B前面說別人叫他"手套"Greenberg ,故這里是說他是如何得到這個名字的。

4. B結合下文中的"His briefcase always has some gloves."，再聯(lián)系上文的描述，可知他是與眾不同(different) 的，

5. A根據(jù)下文中who引導的從句的意思可以推知，他不像其他紐約人那樣表現(xiàn)(act) 。

6. C此處的動作是和上文中的look at連續(xù)發(fā)生的，所以是在街上行色匆匆地走(hurry down) 。

7. B聯(lián)系下文中的"He stops when he... someone with no gloves."可知，他是在環(huán)顧周圍的人(people) ，尋找沒有戴手套的人。

8. D當他看到(sees) 有人沒有戴手套時，他就送給他們一副。

9. C手套送完之后他就繼續(xù)前行(moves on) ,尋找更多沒有戴手套的人。

10. A他尋找沒戴手套的人，也就是尋找更多凍著手(hands) 的人。

11. C根據(jù)上一段的內容可知，在冬天Michael Greenberg贈送(gives away) 手套。

12. D Michael Greenberg在冬天要分發(fā)好多手套，所以在其他時間他要購買(buys) 手套。

13. B聯(lián)系句中的"...he has many in his apartment."可以推知，了解他的人也會送給(send) 他手套。

14. C此處敘述他是什么時候開始(began) 做這件事情的。

15. A現(xiàn)在許多貧窮的紐約人知道他并且理解(understand) 他的行為。

16. D不了解他的人當然會對他的行為感到吃驚(surprised by) 。

17. D那些對他的行為感到吃驚的人并沒有意識到Greenberg 這么做是為了讓那些需要幫助的人感到高興(happy) 。

18. B聯(lián)系下文中的"Michael's father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone happier."可知，他的整個家庭(family) 都這么做。

19. C Greenberg也有同樣的感受，所以他才會也這么做。

20. A此處是對上文的總結：一副手套可能是一件小(small) 事情，但是在冬天卻會起著很大的作用。
