2.D。由下文可知,他总是赠人手套,受益人一定是穷人居多,因此本题选D。
3.B。由上句“他是‘手套先生’”可知,人们会发出这样的疑问“他是如何获得这个称谓的”。name意为“名称”,符合题意。
4.B。由上文可知他看起来与其他商人无异,穿西装,提公文箱,但他又与众不同,他的公文箱里总装着一些手套。
5.A。由句末的定语从句可知,他走路不像其他人,那些人总是看着人行道,匆匆忙忙赶路。此处指他的行为和其他人不一样,故选A。
6.C。根据常识,冬天,路人都会沿着街道匆忙赶路,hurry down意为“沿着……匆忙而行”,符合句意。cross over“越过(河等),横穿过(道路、屋子等)”,drive along“沿着……开车”,keep off“(使)不接近”,均不符合文意。
7.B。由下文可知,他在赠人手套,故他四处看的应该是人。故选B。
8.D。看到有人没戴手套,他就停下来。
9.C。他遇到没有戴手套的人就停下给他们一副手套,然后继续走,继续寻找没有戴手套的人。move on“继续行进”,符合文意。

11.C。他在冬天时赠送手套。give away“赠送”,符合语境。
12.D。呼应上句,在冬天以外的日子里,他一定是“购买”手套。
13.B。由下文“他房间里有许多手套”可推知,听说他事迹的人都“送”他手套。
14.C。他是在21年前开始做这件事的。故选C。
15.A。现在许多纽约穷人认识他,并理解他的行为。
16.D。由but可知,前后为转折关系,认识他的人能理解他的行为,但不认识他的人有时会对他的行为感到惊奇。

18.B。由下文的内容可知,他家代代如此(都是这样做的)。
