In the store，I asked each of my kids to __5__ something they thought our “friend” there would __6__．They got apples，a sandwich and a bottle of juice.Then my 17－year－old suggested giving him a __7__．I thought about it.We were __8__ on cash ourselves，but...well，sometimes __9__ from our need instead of our abundance is __10__ what we need to do！All the kids __11__ something they could do away with for the week.
When we handed him the bag of __12__，he lit up and thanked us with __13__ eyes.When I handed him the gift card，saying he could use it for __14__ his family might need，he burst into tears.
This has been a wonderful __15__ for our family.For days the kids have been looking for others we can __16__！Things would have played out so __17__ if I had simply said，“No，we really dont have __18__ to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in __19__，it also gave my kids the __20__ taste of helping others.Itll go a long way with them.
【语篇导读】 这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了发生在自己身边的一件事。周末的时候作者和孩子们去超市的路上遇到了一个站在寒风中寻求帮助的人，他引导孩子们奉献爱心，快乐自己。通过这次经历，作者诠释了“赠人玫瑰，手留余香”的真谛。
1．A.LostB.Changed C.Quit D.Finished
答案 A [考查语境中动词的辨析。联系下文内容及“Family to feed.”可知这个人失业了，还要养活家人。故答案为A。]
2．A.conditionB.place C.sight D.show
答案 C [考查语境中名词的辨析。那人手里拿着一张写有“失去工作，供养家人”的纸，站在冷风中。这种情景在超市外面并不常见。condition条件；place地方；sight情景，景象；show展示。显然唯有C项符合题意。]
3．A.suggestion B．comment
C.decision
D．call
答案 B [考查语境中名词的辨析。十岁的儿子看到这个站在冷风中的求助者十分感慨，发表评论(comment)。suggestion建议；decision决定；call电话；均不合句意。]

D.loose
答案 B [考查语境中形容词的辨析。根据前面“I thought about it.”以及接下来的“but...well...”可知，我们的现金也不多了。easy容易；low (数量等)不足的；soft 柔软的；loose 松散的。B项显然符合句意。]

B.even C.still
D.just
答案 D [考查语境中副词的辨析。有时，从生活需用品中节省出来赠与别人恰恰是(just)我们需要做的。其余选项不符合语意逻辑。]

14．A.whoeverB．whateverC.whichever D.whenever
答案 B [考查语境中代词的辨析。由句子结构可知，这是一个宾语从句。从句谓语动词need之后缺少宾语，故可将D项排除。再结合句意“我告诉他可以用这张卡为家人购买生活必需品”可知答案非B莫属。]
15．A.experienceB.example C.message D.adventure
答案 A [考查语境中名词的辨析。由前文所述可知，这是一次非常棒的经历，给了孩子们莫大的鼓舞。experience经历；example例子；message口信；adventure冒险。显然答案为A。]

One day，when I went into the classroom，I saw that Suzy had

her geography book to a picture of a train，and in her notebook，she had made a(n)

Mr.Brown waited a while before saying，“
__16__
this student worked so hard on the posters，she deserves a

Mr.Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artists set.“Thank you，”she cried.
I

Everyone started to
