第31题
关键句:
- “We’d gone up to the city... on the rare occasions we could get a babysitter.”
分析:
“rarely”一词表明作者和丈夫很少有机会外出,而非“经常去城市”或“经济宽裕”。
第32题
关键句:
- “City life's great," he'd said, "except for finding a parking space."
分析:
朋友主动推荐停车库并提到“找停车位困难”,直接对应选项A。
第33题

- “We’d learned not to look them in the eye, to close our ears, to walk on by.”
分析:
“pretend not to see”是城市人对乞丐的普遍反应,与选项C一致。
第34题

- “Get lost!”our friend shouted, looking straight ahead.
分析:
“Get lost”意为“滚开”,结合朋友“grumbled”抱怨“leeching”,体现恼怒(D)。
第35题
关键句:
- “I slowed down... I could get it out, run back...”
分析:
作者虽犹豫但有给钱的冲动,暗示若独自一人会帮助老人(B)。
