Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the eveloping world. But the
36
is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a
37
country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making
38
for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first
39
one long hot summer when most Germans were
40
on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,
41
a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t
42
. “What these people also need is warmth and
43
,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t
44
to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita
45
there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always
46
to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon
47
all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to
48
donations. Today, over thirty companies
49
donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help
to
50
them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer
51
new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no
52
for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t
53
money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets
54
, she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a
55
in the world.
37. A. traditional
B. developing
C. typical
D. wealthy
【答案】D
【解析】对应上文以及常识可知,发展中国家都是比较贫穷的,而德国是发达国家,所以应该选D,意思是“富裕的”。句意:比如,我们有多少人想到会在一些像德国这样富裕的国家看到人们流落街头呢?traditional“传统的”;developing“发展的”;typical“典型的”。
38. A. preparations
B. houses
C. meals
D. suggestions
C
【解析】句意:Kurt Muller 和他的妻子Rita花了11年时间为德国首都柏林那些无家可归的人做饭。本段最后一句也有暗示。make meals“做饭”。
39. A. began
B. met
C. called
D. left
A
【解析】句意:当大部分的德国人外出度假时,他们首先开始了一个很长的炎热的夏天。根据下文“他们呆在家里为无家可归的人做三明治”和本句中的first看出,是“开始”的意思。meet“遇见”;call“叫”;leave“离开”。这三个词与one long hot summer不搭配。故选A。
41. A. brought up
B. set up
C. put aside
D. gave away
B
【解析】句意:Kurt和他的妻子呆在家里做三明治,他们在街上摆一张桌子,et up “安装;布置;临时搭起”,符合句意;其他选项,put aside “储存;撇开”;bring up “提出;抚养”;give away “无偿赠送;暴露”,都不符合句意。
43. A. fame
B. freedom
C. courage
D. caring
【答案】D
【解析】句中的these people指的是the homeless,无家可归的人更需要的是关心。句意:他们也需要温暖和关怀。 caring意为“关心;关怀”,符合句意。其他选项中,fame是“名誉;名声”;freedom是“自由”;courage是“勇气”,都不符合句意。
45. A. make sense
B. found out
C. make sure
D. worked out
【答案】C
【解析】make sure“确保”。这里表达的是这对夫妇为无家可归者服务的真诚。句意:Rita确保家里有人接(无家可归者打来的)电话,并且他们的家门总是为无处过夜的人敞开着。make sense“有意义”;find out“发现”;work out“计算出”。
46. A. open
B. crowded
C. noisy
D. near
A
【解析】句意:她家对那些不能在街上再呆一夜的人是敞开着的。be open to “对某人是敞开的;对……开放”。crowded “拥挤的”;noisy“嘈杂的、吵闹的”;
near“近的”
47. A. costing
B. wasting
C. taking
D. spending
【答案】D
【解析】根据第二段第一句Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making meals
for the homeless of Berlin(他们已经花了十一年为德国首都柏林的无家可归者做饭),此句应为:穆勒夫妇马上就要花完他们的时间和金钱了。此处用动词过去进行时表示过去将要发生的动作。选项中,waste的词意不符合句意;cost “花费”,主语一般是sth. ,即sth. cost sb. sth. ;take也可表示“花费”,但其主语一般是sth.或形式主语it。
49. A. completely
B. calmly
C. regularly
D. roughly
【答案】C
【解析】句意:如今,三十多家公司经常为他们的事业捐赠食品和其他物品。副词regularly意为“经常性的”;符合句意。其他选项中,completely“完全地;完整地”;calmly“平静地;镇定地”;roughly“粗略地;粗暴地”,都不符合句意。
51. A. donates
B. produces
C. designs
D. collects
【答案】A
【解析】上文提到很多公司为无家可归者捐赠,此处表达的应该是:公众也给衣服和钱,而且一家制鞋商捐赠新鞋。动词donate意为“捐赠”,符合句意;其他选项中,produce“生产”;design“设计”;collect“收集”,都不符合句意。
53.A. borrow
B. raise

54. A. surprised
B. excited
C. tired
D. amused
【答案】C
【解析】这是一个表示让步的句子,句意为:尽管Rita承认有时感到累,但她说她会继续这工作,因为她喜欢这种让世界变得不同的感觉。

B, C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another
50
, subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his
51
; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to
52
aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In
53
these and other research findings, two themes are
54
: we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think _ 55
_ assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.
56
, in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be
57
, but had apparently been "lost" . The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very
58
person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 59
the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of _
60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important.
For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)
61
T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone
62 _ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for
63
than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be
64
rather than drunk.
