8、e答案与解析：本文是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。异国的一幅凄惨景象让作者唏嘘不已，于是，作者动了怜悯之心，慷慨解囊。出乎意料的是，对方拒绝了作者的一番好意。作者意识到个人的人生价值观在特定情况下可能并不正确，即使是弱者，也有自己的尊严。16A本文首句的后半句提到作者是在泰国旅游，由此可知作者应该是居住在泰国的“旅馆”中。B、C、D三项不符合语境。17D下文提到这位女士躺在脏兮兮的石头上，看起来好像已经去世，由此可知作者对眼前的景象感到非常震惊。此处shocked意为“震惊的”。A、B、C三项都与下文内容不太相符。18A结合本句后半部分中的内容以及下一句的内容可知，此处是为了突出这位女士的悲惨处境，所
9、以四个选项中只有A项最符合语境，即她穿着“传统的”衣服。19C“she might be dead”是thought的同位语从句，对thought的具体内容进行解释说明，此处需要用that。20B上文提到的是作者从远处观察女士，再结合下一句中的内容可知此处是指作者“靠近”女士。A项表示“打招呼”；C项表示“照顾”；D项表示“移动”，均不符合题意。21C作者看到眼前的凄惨景象后产生了怜悯之心，立刻作出“反应”，即将手伸进口袋，拿出一些钱来给对方。故选C项。22A作者与这位女士素昧平生，而对方又躺在脏乱的石头上，似乎已经死去，由此可推断作者小心翼翼地把钱塞进她的手中。B、C、D三项均不符合语境。2
10、3B作者看到这位女士已经奄奄一息，所以才慷慨解囊，认为这笔钱能够让她“挺过”几个月。所以 survive“幸存，挺过”符合题意。24D根据下文的内容可知女士并没有接受作者的施舍，由此可知她只是“审视”着这笔钱。25A文章开头部分提到作者是在泰国旅游，由此可推断作者和她无法进行语言沟通。B、C、D三项都不符合语境。26A此处与最后一段最后一句中的“wise”相呼应，即这位女士的眼光中透露出睿智和遗憾。B、C、D三项在文章中都没有信息支持，故可被排除。27D第二段提到女士躺在脏乱的石头上，似乎已经死了；第三段第二句提到她病得非常厉害，由此可知她非常“虚弱地”拒绝了作者的资助。故选D项。28C此处与
11、最后一段最后一句中的“laughed at me”相呼应。A项表示“依赖”；B项表示“照顾”；D项表示“和争吵”，都不符合语境。29B作者出于好心想帮助对方，未曾想她竟然不肯接受，作者百思不得其解。走了至少一公里后作者才“意识到”自己的愚蠢。故选B项。30A此处与下一句前半部分中的“needed”相呼应。所以A项符合题意。31C作者本来想通过钱来表达自己的同情，没想到对方竟然拒绝，所以作者认真分析这种物质上的“善意”是否可取。此外，第四段最后引号部分中的“kind stranger”也是提示。32D文章开头部分提到作者到泰国旅游，再结合本句中的“Western”一词可知作者是西方人，由此可推断
12、作者当时是用西方人的价值观去帮助那位女士，遭到拒绝后才开始觉得这种价值观受到了挑战。A、B、C三项分别表示“提供”、“分享”、“遵循”，都不符合语境。33B这位漂亮女士给作者上了生动的一课：金钱不是万能的。这个教训将陪伴作者的余生，让作者终生难忘。本句中的“for the rest of my life”是时间状语，表示“余生”。所以carry“携带”符合语境。34A当作者回忆起那次“经历”时，希望自己的脸上也能浮现出那种睿智的微笑。35D那位女士的眼神中透露出嘲笑是以前“曾经”发生的事情。A、B、C三项都与上文内容不符。.阅读理解Information has always been at
