Question

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? 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. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not 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 (惡行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver

試題分析：本文主要討論的是人們對(duì)于是否應(yīng)該給乞丐錢的問題的兩方面的闡述。
1.D 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知討論的是面對(duì)乞討的人，我們應(yīng)該做出如何的選擇，是應(yīng)該慷慨的給，還是不給。文章進(jìn)行了仔細(xì)的探討。故D正確。
2.B 推理題。根據(jù)本段Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars.說明在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)很多人已經(jīng)失去了廉恥，會(huì)做以前不會(huì)做的事情，如乞討。故B正確。
3.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三行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 (惡行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.說明ACD被提及了，只有B項(xiàng)沒有涉及。故B符合要求。
4.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.說明也許有些人真地需要幫助，所以很難下定論。故A正確。
