买的那次聚会是在1998年举行的，故答案为D。

［语篇解读|这篇文章告诉我们不要以貌取人。

5.解析：选B词义猜测题。由上文中的“Inoticedanemptychairnexttoanelderly,

unshavenman...”和下文中的"Hewaswearingaworn-outhatandwasalone.M可知

disheveled在这儿是“仪容不整，穿着遗遢”的意思。选B。

6.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文中“Iwasconcernedthathemighthavenomoneyand

notbeabletoaffordsomethingtoeat.”可以判断选A项。

7.解析：选C推理判断题。根据**Icouldhardlybelieveit.Iwasbuying,offeringafree

breakfast,andfeelingpityforoneoftheworld'srichestandmostpowerfulmen!”可知，作者

在他朋友告诉他那个老人是Mr.Galbrcath之后感到很吃惊。由此判断选C项。

8.解析：选D主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句可知，作者想要表达的是不要以貌取

人。由此判断选D项。
