32、What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from.

34、 give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent

35、on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging.

39、etend to be beggars.Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.Some beggars have no excuse for begging.（ 4 ） In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .A. the cases can be so differentB.

40、there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments【答案】 （ 1 ） DBBA【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了人们过去和现在对乞讨者不同观点及原因，告诉我们不同问题要区别对待。（ 1 ）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文论述了人们现在对乞讨者不同观点及原因。列举了现在人们不给乞讨者钱的几种想法及帮助别人是美德，告诉我们不同问题要区别对待。故选 D。（ 2 ）考查句义猜测。上句说多数宗教都要求我们敞开心扉和不如自己幸运的人分享。下句讲或许过去道
