23、：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Hardees对面的街道
24、。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
25、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。
26、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。 19.
27、答案：D解析：表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点 20. 答案：A解析：虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。完形填空（记叙文）Over the past five years, Ive spent about 2, 000 hours watching Warren Buffett work, and Ive never seen anybody use his time more1.
