1. 答案:A
解析:根据文章前面的叙述,作者从Luxor坐火车去Cairo旅游可知在凌晨1点,作者到达(reach)了目的地Cairo。
2. 答案:C
解析:根据下文的“a couple of fastfood restaurants would be open there”可以判断出,作者饿了,想找吃饭的地方,故正确答案为C项。
3. 答案:B
解析:由于作者以前去过Cairo,知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down“使失望,放下”,get down“记下,写下”,put down“记下”,均不符合语境。
4. 答案:D
解析:出租车把作者放在了Hardee's对面的街道。短语drop sb.off意思是“中途卸客”,符合语境。
5. 答案:D
解析:作者要进去就餐,当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。
6. 答案:C
解析:根据文章的语境,街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来,叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。
7. 答案:B
解析:根据空线前后的内容,可以知道这里是并列的关系,作者作为一个经常旅游的人,又在埃及生活过一年,很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为,所以要用as well as,意思是“和,又”。apart from“除了……外”,in favour of“赞成”,in return for“作为对……的回报”,均与语境不符。
8. 答案:C
解析:根据语境,可以知道作者对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。
9. 答案:D
解析:根据语境可知,作者为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。surprised“吃惊的”,regretted“遗憾的”,appointed“约定的”,不符合语境。
10. 答案:A
解析:根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道,这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。
11. 答案:A
解析:根据语境可知,作者为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。demand“强烈要求”,request“要求,请求”,deserve“值得”,不符合语境。
12. 答案:B
解析:汉堡包准备好时,作者走到外边(outside),邀请孩子们和他一起吃饭。
13. 答案:C
解析:孩子们听到作者的邀请,发出了令人惊讶的喊声:“不,我们不应待在这样的好地方!”。
14. 答案:A
解析:根据下文的意思可知,作者没能(unable)说服那两个孩子进来。
15. 答案:B
解析:根据上文可知作者把买来的食物(food)带出了餐馆。
16. 答案:A
解析:当那两个孩子拿到食物后,不断地祈祷安拉保佑作者。只有A项符合文章。
17. 答案:B
解析:这里作者要告诉我们原因(why),作者为什么一直为那两个埃及孩子祈祷。
18. 答案:C
解析:根据上文的“praying that Allah would always bless me”可知,作者也这样祈祷着。
