　　48. B　母亲也不喜欢花草，“我”把“我”种的花放在她的花瓶里，她也只是把它们当成了草。sadness表示伤感，与母亲的喜好无关。

　　49. C　rather than此处表示“而不是”， other than意思是“除了……没有”，more than和less than分别表示“多于”，“少于”。

　　27. B　根据前面“three kilometers”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有三公里。故用介词off。

　　28. C　由于离开主干道三公里且被树所遮蔽，因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless)，故选C。

　　36. B　由于烟雾很大，Huggons应该是绕圈子从房子里面出来的，故选B。

　　37. C　当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散，以至他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示“将……分开”，因此不能用open，因此答案选C。

　　【要点综述】文章讲述一对德国夫妻十几年如一日地对柏林街头的无家可归者提供无私帮助，为他们提供膳食、衣物，甚至将自己的房子对流浪者开放，并且不计回报，他们的善举赢得了社会的广泛支持和赞誉。

　　36．B　很多人认为，无家可归者都在发展中国家。事实上，无家可归者无处不在。很显然，描述的是一个客观的事实，所以用truth。result“结果”；reason“原因”；idea“想法，观点”。

　　37. D　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. C　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　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。

　　40. D　be away on holiday“外出度假”。asleep意为“睡着的”，是形容词；alone意为“单独的”，是形容词；across意为“穿过”，作副词或介词。

　　41. B　set up a table 摆桌子。句意：Kurt和他妻子呆在家里，做三明治，在街上摆一张桌子，给那些无家可归的人提供食物。bring up“抚养”；put aside“储存”；give away“泄露，分发”。

　　42. A　由下文的“What these people also need is warmth and ______”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：Muller夫妇意识到仅仅为这些无家可归者提供食物和衣服是不够的，他们还需要温暖和关心。所以选 enough“足够的”。

　　43. D　语意见上一题。fame“名誉，名声”；freedom“自由”；courage“勇气”； caring“关心；关爱”。该空要根据连词and和其所连接的“warmth”判断。“温暖”和“关爱”并列，故选D。

　　44. A　句意：Muller夫妇马上把他们的电话号码给街上的人们，并告诉他们在任何时候都可以给他们打电话。don't hesitate to do sth.意思是“毫不犹豫做某事”，符合语境。 agree“同意”；pretend“假装”；intend“打算”，都不符合语境。

　　45. C　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　语意见上题。open“开着的”；crowded“拥挤的”；noisy“嘈杂的”；near“附近的”。故选A项。

　　47. D　这对夫妇24小时都在为无家可归者服务，很快花完了他们所有的时间和金钱……句中宾语为all their time and money，故用spend，意为“花费”。

　　48. B　由于花完了这对夫妇的所有金钱，因此Kurt拜访一些食品和服装公司，请求他们的捐助。后面的donations也是提示。pay for“为……付款”；ask for“请求，要求”；look into“调查”；carry out“执行”。只有B项符合题意。

　　49. C　句意：如今，有三十多个公司定期为之捐赠食物和其他的物品。四个选项中只有regularly“定期地”符合语境。completely“完全地”；calmly“平静地”；roughly“差不多，大致”。

　　50. C　deliver“传送，交付”。此处指由志愿者把所捐赠的食物和物品分发给无家可归的人。advertise“做广告”；sell“卖”； lend“借给”。51. A　句意：人们还把衣服和钱送给他们，一家制鞋商捐赠新鞋子。故选donate，意思是“捐助”。前面句子有该词名词形式出现。produce“生产”；design“设计”；collect“搜集”。

　　52. B　payment“报酬”。由下文Rita所说的话可知，这里表达的意思是： Kurt和Rita助人的辛勤劳动不求任何回报。permission“允许”； direction“方向”；support“支持”。

　　53. D　这里他们把无家可归的人当做自己的孩子，把自己当做他们的父母，而父母不应该希望通过帮助自己的孩子来赚钱。 故选D。borrow “借”；raise “筹集”；save “节约”。

　　54. C　句意：尽管Rita承认自己经常感到疲劳，但是她愿意继续她的工作。从上文中Kurt和Rita为那些无家可归的人所做的一切可知，他们付出很多，她一定很劳累。根据语境选C项。

　　55. B　他们的行为已经使受助者的生活发生了变化。make a difference“有影响，产生变化”，符合题意。
