37、messy 合适，意为 “杂乱的”。2B appearance“外表”，上文描写的是男人的外表，故选 B。3D smell 意为“味道难闻”，根据语境可以选出答案。4A beyond 意为“在范围外”。通过上下文可知，孩子的母亲不想让孩子以貌取人，而应该关注外表以外的东西，所以选 beyond。 来源:学科网 ZXXK5B ignore“故意忽视不理睬”，通过前后文可 知，当人们进入饭店的时候，许多人都无视这个外表很脏的男人。6D example“榜样”，下文有直接对应，且 set an example 也为常用搭配。7D tough 困难的；stressful 紧张的，压力重的；access
38、ible 可靠近的，可进入的；awkward 尴尬的，笨拙的，别扭的。8A 因为路途曲折，孩子们需要晕车药，所以作者需要去车里取药给孩子吃，所以选 A。9B 正在这时，这个男人为一对夫妇开门，这对夫妇快速从他身旁走过甚至都没有承认他的存在，即无视他的存在，正好与上文呼应，表明人们看都不愿意看这个男人，更不用说是礼貌友好地待他了。10C 让那对夫妇先进来，然后作者向外走的时候对那个男人大声地说了声“谢谢”。11B 男人说饭店不允许他进入，除非他 买食物。12A “我”回来把那个男人的事情告诉了家人。deed 和 demand 显然不对，而 experience 一般指过去的经历，故也不合适。故选
39、择 story。13C 因为家人不知道作者为什么在他们吃饱了的情况下又加了一份汤和三明治，所以选 puzzled “迷惑不解”。14D take a trip、make a trip 意为“旅行，外出”，start a trip 意为“开始旅行”，因为文章开头明确说明作者和家人是在去往加利福尼亚的 trip 中停下来吃午饭，所以再次上路，应该选 D“继续”。15A 他伸出手 和“我”握手，“我”感激地接受了。reach out 意为“伸出”。16D notice 留心，注意到。17A 接下来发生的事情更让人惊讶，“我”给了那个男人一个拥抱。 18B rolling 表示眼泪不停地流下来，很形象。19C “我”对一个男人表达了感谢，仅仅就是因为他为“我”开门，并且“我”也感谢这个机会，因为它让“我”以身作则教育了“我”的孩子。20C 作者感谢这件事情，因为这是一个教育孩子的好机会。
