　　1. 答案：A

　　解析：根據文章前面的敘述，作者從Luxor坐火車去Cairo旅游可知在凌晨1點，作者到達(reach)了目的地Cairo。

　　2. 答案：C

　　解析：根據下文的“a couple of fastfood restaurants would be open there”可以判斷出，作者餓了，想找吃飯的地方，故正確答案為C項。

　　3. 答案：B

　　解析：由于作者以前去過Cairo，知道此時城里的大多數餐館都關門(close down)了。let down“使失望，放下”，get down“記下，寫下”，put down“記下”，均不符合語境。

　　4. 答案：D

　　解析：出租車把作者放在了Hardee's對面的街道。短語drop sb.off意思是“中途卸客”，符合語境。

　　5. 答案：D

　　解析：作者要進去就餐，當然要去推開(open)那家餐館的門。

　　6. 答案：C

　　解析：根據文章的語境，街道上的兩個男孩向作者跑來，叫喊(cry)著向他要食物。

　　7. 答案：B

　　解析：根據空線前后的內容，可以知道這里是并列的關系，作者作為一個經常旅游的人，又在埃及生活過一年，很熟悉孩子們的這種乞討行為，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又”。apart from“除了……外”，in favour of“贊成”，in return for“作為對……的回報”，均與語境不符。

　　8. 答案：C

　　解析：根據語境，可以知道作者對于乞討的人并沒有感到奇怪。

　　9. 答案：D

　　解析：根據語境可知，作者為孩子真誠的請求所感動(moved)。surprised“吃驚的”，regretted“遺憾的”，appointed“約定的”，不符合語境。

　　10. 答案：A

　　解析：根據下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道，這里指的是那兩個男孩兒(boys)。

　　11. 答案：A

　　解析：根據語境可知，作者為那兩個孩子點(order)了漢堡包。demand“強烈要求”，request“要求，請求”，deserve“值得”，不符合語境。

　　12. 答案：B

　　解析：漢堡包準備好時，作者走到外邊(outside)，邀請孩子們和他一起吃飯。

　　13. 答案：C

　　解析：孩子們聽到作者的邀請，發出了令人驚訝的喊聲：“不，我們不應待在這樣的好地方！”。

　　14. 答案：A

　　解析：根據下文的意思可知，作者沒能(unable)說服那兩個孩子進來。

　　15. 答案：B

　　解析：根據上文可知作者把買來的食物(food)帶出了餐館。

　　16. 答案：A

　　解析：當那兩個孩子拿到食物后，不斷地祈禱安拉保佑作者。只有A項符合文章。

　　17. 答案：B

　　解析：這里作者要告訴我們原因(why)，作者為什么一直為那兩個埃及孩子祈禱。

　　18. 答案：C

　　解析：根據上文的“praying that Allah would always bless me”可知，作者也這樣祈禱著。

　　19. 答案：D

　　解析：表示作者永遠記著(remember)這一點……

　　20. 答案：A

　　解析：雖然他們無法給予我物質上的回報，但是他們給我的祈禱比物質上的東西更好(greater)。

　　B

　　1. 答案：A

　　解析：fill“使充滿，裝滿”；visit“參觀，訪問”；attend“參加”；decorate“裝飾”。由下文可知作者所經歷的事情發生在一次學校的舞蹈表演上。孩子們的家人都來看孩子們的舞蹈表演。由第一段所描述的內容來看，作者對此很期待。所以在這個大廳里，氣氛熱烈，家長們也都來了。故只有A項最符合語境。
