本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。大意是“我”在商场前刷车时遇到一位无业游民，他虽然衣衫褴褛，但说了一句话：“我们不都如此吗？”，使我受到极大震动。文章侧重考查对语篇的理解，同时还考查了一些词汇和语法知识。
1、B. What 引导表语从句，作consider的宾语。
2、C. 由文意可知，此人衣衫破旧，因而“我”认为他一无所有。Looks在此表示“the appearance of of sb/ sth”，即外表，符合文意。注意expressions指面部表情。
3、A. 下文提到我给了他足够钱甚至可以买车票，所以A项ride为最佳答案。
4、D. 由文意可知，既然对方为无业游民，他应该是衣衫褴褛。
5、A. 从下文dignity可知，对方虽然贫穷，但有尊严。注意此处air表示“神态、感觉”。其它选项不符合文意。
6、C. 文章开头提到我在擦车，而下文提到“as I worked”，说明仍在擦车，故选C项。
7、A. 由下文silence可知，他在旁边静静的看着我干活，故选A。
8、B. 由上下文可推知，他一无所有，必然会开口向我要钱，故选B项，意为“所预料的”。
9、D. 由上句something inside said, “ask him if he needs any help.”可知，我相信象他这样的人，一定需要帮助，故选D项sure。
10、A. 由but profound和下文他说的话可知，他说的话是简单的Don’t we all三个词。
11、B. 通过下文still可知，他的话直到现在我还记得，故选 forget。
12、C. 通过I had been feeling high, successful and important可知，我在此之前一直认为自己地位高、很成功，是个重要人物，所以C项最佳，其它选项不符合文意。
13、D. 通过下文like a shotgun，可知他的话对我震动很大。
14、A. Reach in my wallet意为“伸手到钱包里拿（钱）”；search for搜寻……； look up在……里查找；expose……to把……暴露于……。根据文意，A项正确。
15、A. shelter在此意为“居所、住处”。从下文的for the day和sleep可以推知，“我”给他的钱足够买车票、吃饭和寻找住处。
16、C. 从上下文理解可知，他的话是对的，我至今没忘。ring true意为sound true，听起来是对的、真实的，故选C。
17、D. 从上下文理解可知，无论你拥有多少，无论你取得了多大成功，都需要别人的帮助，故选D项 accomplished。
18、C. 和上文how much对比，应该是how little。
19、A. 从下文even without money or a place to sleep可推知，我们的生活充满问题，甚至可能没钱或睡觉的地方。load with意为“给……装上”，在此可以理解为“我们的生活充满问题”。其它选项不符文意。
20、B. 通过上文可知，即使我们生活可能贫穷，仍然可以给予别人帮助，故选B。
