　　2.B。往篮子里盛满水是永远不可能的，故选择never。

　　3.A。两者中的另一个用the other加名词来表示。

　　4.C。the first man想离开，因为他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。

　　5.D。pick up意为“捡起”，pick away意为“放好”，take away意为“取走”，而throw down意为“扔掉、丢弃”，比较贴近文意，为正确选项。

　　【文章大意】在一个寒冷的冬天，一个衣衫褴褛的老人伫立在寒风中乞讨，“我”主动向他提供帮助，并且从此每天经过那个地方向他伸出援手。作者呼吁人们不要吝啬给需要帮助的人关爱，哪怕是一句温暖的话语或是一个善意的微笑。

　　36.B【解析】因为天气寒冷，所以“我”一直不想从车里出来。A项意为“在……之后”，C项意为“在……之前”，D项意为“如果”，因此都不合适。B项意为“这时突然”的含义，为后文遇见那个乞讨的老人埋下伏笔。故选B。 j
