【解题导语】在刺骨的寒风中，一位靠出售杂志维持生计的盲人女士竟然无比乐观地纵情歌唱美好的世界……

1．A.enjoyableB．relaxing

C．tight

D．tiring

解析：选C。根据本句后半部分的内容可知作者的时间安排非常“紧”。D项表示“令人疲倦的”，在文章中没有信息支持。

2．A.crowded

B．delayed

C．loaded

D．crashed

解析：选A。根据下一段开头部分的内容可知火车上十分“拥挤”。

3．A.moving

B．interesting

C．pleasing

D．meaningless

解析：选D。下一句提到作者还有一点儿头疼，由此可判断此处表示的是否定意义，作者认为周围人的谈话特别“没有意义”。

4．A.Looking

B．Walking

C．Wandering

D．Searching

解析：选B。上文提到作者的时间安排非常紧，而且作者难以忍受拥挤的乘客们无聊的闲谈，另外，又感到有点儿头疼，由此可推断作者快步穿过了车站大厅。

5．A.cigarettes

B．sweets

C．change

D．paper

解析：选C。下一句提到常有无家可归的人在出口处卖杂志来维持生计，由此可推断作者从口袋中拿出一些“零钱”。

6．A.selling

B．buying

C．collecting

D．delivering

解析：选A。根据括号中的注释可知是“出售”这种杂志。

7．A.With

B．Since

C．Until

D．As

解析：选D。当人群在大厅的尽头走向四面八方的时候，作者看到有人在卖这种杂志。此处as表示“当……时候”。

8．A.comfortably

B．rough

C．soundly

D．anxiously

解析：选B。她看起来一直露宿街头。sleep rough是固定用法，表示“露宿”，符合语境。D项表示“忧虑地”，与下文她的乐观表现不符。

9．A.shabby

B．casual

C．tidy

D．fashionable

解析：选A。下文提到她很长时间没有擦洗了，and 连接的应是相同意思的分句，由此可知选A项，她的衣服非常“破旧”。

10．A.left

B．passed

C．approached

D．examined

解析：选C。上文提到作者在未走到出口之前就准备好了零钱，由此可知作者想买杂志，approach在此处表示“靠近”。

11．A.jumping

B．climbing

C．rolling

D．rocking

解析：选D。由空后的from side to side，再结合下文的描述，尤其是“She was moving in time...”可知她在左右“摇晃”。rock是动词，意为“轻轻摆动，摇晃”。

12．A.active

B．energetic

C．warm

D．awake

解析：选C。作者起初以为在刺骨的寒风中她是为了“取暖”才来回晃动身体的。

13．A.dance

B．tune

C．step

D．sound

解析：选B。文章倒数第二段提到她是在唱歌，由此可推断她是在随着曲调左右晃动。

14．A.issue

B．arm

C．stick

D．log

解析：选C。上文提到通常无家可归的人会在出口处出售这种杂志，结合选项可推断她是一位残疾人，所以选C项“拐杖”。另外，倒数第二段中的“tapping off along the pavement”也是线索。

15．A.deaf

B．lame

C．mad

D．blind

解析：选D。她的眼睛深陷，由此可推断她是一位“盲人”。

16．A.noise

B．music

C．voice

D．sound

解析：选A。在车站的出口处，车水马龙，喧嚣不堪，显然是“噪音”。C项强调人的“噪音”，D项泛指自然界中的各种声音，语义都不恰当。

17．A.recite

B．compose

C．read

D．sing

解析：选D。下文提到她是在唱歌，因此用sing。

18．A.expected

B．charged

C．intended

D．organized

解析：选C。作者用了平时买杂志的两倍的钱买了她的最后一本杂志。

19．A.picked up

B．threw away

C．turned out

D．hid away

解析：选A。既然她已经卖完了最后一本杂志，自然是表示感谢后“收拾”自己的东西并拄着拐杖离开。

20．A.decision

B．memory

C．program

D．design

解析：选B。结合上文的叙述以及本句后半句的内容可知作者有了那天的幸福“回忆”。
