(答案→)B 解析：这是一篇记叙文。当我们谈到“无家可归”时，我们就想到了发展中国家，但是，就像德国这么发达的国家，在大街上也随处看到无家可归的人。一对有爱心的德国夫妇舍弃了外出度假的时光，为那些无家可归的人做饭，提供住宿。后来，花完了自己的积蓄，他们还向公司求助，让更多的人们关注那些无家可归的人。让这个世界多一份关爱，少一份痛苦。【小题1】考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处result结果；truth事实；reason原因；idea想法，主意。每当我们听到无家可归这个词，我们大多数人就会想到副站长国家。但事实是无家可归的到处都有。【小题2】考查形容词词义辨析及学生对上下文的语境理解能力。此处traditional传统的；developing发展中的；typical典型的；wealthy富裕的。我们有多少人想看到一个像德国这么富有的国家也有人住在大街上。【小题3】考查名词词义辨析及学生对上下文语境的理解能力。根据后文Kurt Muller and his wife stayed at home， made sandwiches可知：他们为德国首都柏林的无家可归者做饭已经十一年了。【小题4】考查动词词义辨析。此处met遇到；left离开；called打电话；叫；began开始。他们从一个漫长而炎热的夏天开始的。【小题5】考查学生对上下文语境的理解能力。此处asleep睡着的；alone独自的；across穿过；away离开，远去。他们从一个漫长而炎热的夏天开始，而此时大多数德国人都外出度假了。【小题6】考查动词短语词义辨析及语境理解。此处set up安装；布置；临时搭起； put aside储存；撇开；bring up提出；抚养；gave away无偿赠送；暴露。Kurt和他的妻子呆在家里做三明治，他们在街上布置好桌子，给无家可归者提供食物。【小题7】考查形容词词义辨析及学生对上下文语境的理解能力。此处enough足够的；necessary 必须的；helpful 有帮助的； expensive昂贵的。由后句中的what people also need…（人们还需要的是）可知，此处应该表达的是“穆勒夫妇意识到只有食物和衣服并不够”。【小题8】考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处fame名誉；名声；freedom自由；courage勇气；caring关心；关怀。他们还需要温暖和关怀。【小题9】考查动词词义辨析及语境理解能力。此处hesitate犹豫； agree同意；pretend假装；intend打算，想要。穆勒夫妇毫不犹豫地把电话号码给那些街上的人，并告诉他们随时给他打电话。【小题10】考查动词短语的含义及学生对上下文语境的理解能力。此处make sense有道理；find out找出；查明； make sure确定；work out算出；制定。前面说到穆勒夫妇把电话号码给街上的人，因此此处应是：Rita确保家里有人随时接电话。【小题11】考查形容词词义辨析及学生对上下文的理解能力。此处open开放的；crowded拥挤的；noisy嘈杂的；near附近的。她家对那些不能在街上再呆一夜的人是敞开着的。Be open to意为“对某人是敞开的；对……开放”。【小题12】考查动词词义辨析。穆勒夫妇马上就要花完他们的时间和金钱了。此处用动词过去进行时表示过去将要发生的动作。选项中，waste的词意不符合句意；cost意为“花费”，但主语不能是sb；take也可表示“花费”，但其主语一般是sth.或形式主语it。【小题13】考查动词短语词义辨析及语境理解能力。此处pay for支付； ask for请求；look into调查； carry out贯彻；执行。因为穆勒夫妇马上就要花完他们的时间和金钱了，所以Kurt去了几家食品厂和服装厂请求捐赠。【小题14】考查副词词义辨析及语境理解能力。此处completely完全地；完整地；calmly平静地；镇定地； regularly经常性的，定期的；roughly粗略地；粗暴地。现在，三十多家公司定期地为他们的事业捐赠食品和其他物品。【小题15】动词词义辨析。考查学生的词汇量与词汇运用能力。此处advertise作广告；lend借；deliver传送；递送；sell卖。志愿者们帮助向无家可归者分发这些食品物品。【小题16】考查动词词义辨析及学生对上下文语境的理解能力。此处donate捐赠； produce生产；design设计；collect收集。公众也给衣服和钱，而且一家制鞋商捐赠新鞋。【小题17】考查名词词义辨析及语境理解能力。此处permission允许；许可； payment报酬；付款；direction方向；support支持。穆勒夫妇没有因为他们的艰难工作而得到报酬。【小题18】考查动词词义辨析及语境的理解能力。此处borrow借；raise募集；have拥有； expect期望；期待。我们感觉就像父母一样，父母是不应该因为帮助自己的孩子而期望得到金钱的。动词都不符合句意。【小题19】考查形容词词义辨析及学生对上下文语境的理解能力。此处surprised惊讶的；excited兴奋的； tired劳累的； amused娱乐的。尽管Rita承认常常会感到累，但她说她会继续这工作，因为她喜欢这种改变世界的感觉。【小题20】考查名词词义辨析及学生对语境的理解能力。此profit利润；difference不同；差别；decision决定； rule规则。解题关键是：掌握短语make a difference意为：使. . .不同。她说她会继续这工作，因为她喜欢这种改变世界的感觉。
