【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者从一个乞丐身上得到启发，幸福是一种选择，与经济状况、物质条件没有必然的联系。
1．考查副词词义辨析。句意：景色迷人，和煦的微风轻吻着我的脸。A. strongly强烈地；B. gradually逐渐地；C. gently轻轻地；D. normally正常地。上文“a pleasant breeze”可知，秋天刮的是微风，所以应该是“轻轻地”吹过作者的脸颊。故选C项。
2．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：母亲穿着脏衣服，似乎是在垃圾箱里找到的。A. expensive昂贵的；B. wonderful美好的；C. perfect完美的；D. dirty脏的。根据后文“that seemed to be found in a dustbin”可知，作者觉得她的衣服是从垃圾箱里找到的，所以应该是衣服很脏。故选D项。
3．考查动词词义辨析。句意：幸运的人扔掉他们不需要的东西是多么容易啊。A. move移动；B. push推；C. throw扔；D. send送。根据前文“The mother wore dirty clothes that seemed to be found in a dustbin”作者提到似乎是垃圾桶里捡来的衣服，和后文“things they don’t need”可知，空处是想说幸运的人把不要的东西扔掉。故选C项。
4．考查介词词义辨析。句意：他们这样做的时候不考虑不幸的人！A. for为了；B. in在……里面；C. within在……之间；D. without没有。结合语境可知，作者用幸运的人随意丢弃不想要的东西，和不幸的人做出对比，表明人们扔东西时完全没有考虑像这位母亲一样不幸的人。故选D项。
5．考查名词词义辨析。句意：她抱着她的孩子，保护她免受早晨的寒冷。A. cold寒冷；B. light光；C. sound声音；D. fact事实。根据文章开头“I was walking in a park on a cool autumn morning.”可知，这是一个凉爽的秋天的清晨，由此可以推出母紧抱孩子是为了孩子不受凉。故选A项。
6．考查动词词义辨析。句意：她抱着她的孩子，让她免受早晨的寒冷，并期待着陌生人给她一些钱，这样她就可以给他们俩买食物了。A. save节省；B. buy买；C. pick挑选；D. share分享。根据前文“expecting some money from strangers”可知，女人挨家挨户敲门是想要钱来买食物。故选B项。
