25、”。3A一周后，作者开始注意到家里的杂货用得非常快。因为感到困惑，才会出现下文作者开始观察。confused“困惑的”。4C根据下文作者观察发现，“母亲会装一纸袋罐头食品并且每天早上大约九点出门”，这是令作者惊奇的事情。to ones surprise “让某人感到惊讶的是”。5A根据下一段第二句中的kids可知，本空选择children“孩子们”。6D句意：我询问了一下周围的人，发现我母亲在这个地区是很受欢迎的。make sure “确保，确信”；let out “释放，发出”；point out “指出”；find out “发现”。7C句意：她是担心如果我知道事情的真相就会停止买杂货吗？
26、8A根据第三段内容可知，作者后来了解母亲无私给孩子们送食物的真相，因此，在母亲回家后，就在母亲做出反应之前告诉了她作者自己的“发现”。discovery “发现”；civilisation “文明”；acquisition “获得”；wisdom “智慧”。9Asecret秘密；surprise吃惊；gift礼物；reminder提醒物。keep it a secret from sb.“向某人保密”。10C只有用slept“睡觉”才符合题意，表示这些孩子的困境，“一些孩子睡在街上”。11B根据上文句意可知选择B项。spare意为“节省，节约”，符合题意。12D上文讲到母亲把自己节省下来的杂货给了贫民窟的孩子们，应该是很无私的。selfless“无私的”。13D作者对于母亲无私地给贫民窟的孩子捐赠东西感到非常的骄傲和自豪。proud “骄傲的”。14C此句表示作者的决心，他将继续为母亲买杂货。continue “继续”。15B句意：但是现在我总是添加额外的一袋让她给其他的孩子。
