若单独看空格处,选项B、C、D都可以填,从文章内容或常识来看,诺贝尔奖金应当是奖给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域“作出过巨大贡献”的人,故只能选D。真题演练(2010陕西)Iusedtoliveselfishly,Ishouldadmit.Butonemomentchangedme.Iwasonmylunchbreakandhad1theofficetogetsomethingtoeat.1.A.left B.cleanedC.prepared D.searched1.A由本句中的togetsomethingtoeat及后文内容可知,作者“离开”了办公室外出了。Ontheway,I2abusker(街头艺人)，withahatinfrontofhim.Ihadsome3inmypocket,butIwouldnotgivethemtohim，thinkingtomyselfhewouldonlyusethemoneytofeedhisaddictiontodrugsoralcohol.2.A.led B.chose C.saw D.fooled2.C由末段中Isawthebuskeragain可提到启示。3.A.chocolates B.coins C.tinsD.drugs3.B根据空后的inmypocket可以推断出。He4likethattype-youngandragged.ButwhatwasIgoingtospendthemoneyon?OnlytofeedmyaddictiontoCoca-Colaorchocolate!Ithen5Ihadnorighttoplacemyselfabovehimjustbecausehewasbusking.4.A.actedB.lookedC.soundedD.smelt4.B根据本句中的youngandragged可以推断出所填词和like构成搭配,意思是：看起来像。5.A.declaredB.realizedC.expectedD.guessed5.B句意是：后来我意识到我不能把我置于他之上,因为他在街头卖艺。I6anddroppedallthecoinsintohis7,andhesmiledatme,Iwatchedforawhile.6.A.waitedB.followedC.stoppedD.arrived6.C由后文的dropped和walkedoff可以推断出此处所填词意思是：停下来。7.A.rag B.hat C.pocketD.counter7.B由前文的withahatinfrontofhim可知。As8asitsounds,Iexpectedsomethingmoretocomefromthatmomentafeelingof9orsatisfaction,forexample.8.A.selfish B.awkwardC.innocent D.special8.A根据文章首句可知。A.happinessB.sadnessC.loveD.hate9.A所填词与satisfaction并列,意思应该相近,由此可以推断出。Butnothinghappened.10,Iwalkedoff.“Itprovedtobeawasteof11，”Ithought.10.A.Disappointedly B.UnfortunatelyC.Coincidentally D.Comfortably10.A根据前一句Butnothinghappened可知此处选A,意思是：失望地。11.A.wordsB.effortC.spaceD.money11.D由前文的coins可知。Onmywayhomeattheendofthe12,Isawthebuskeragainandhewas13.Iwatchedhimpickupthehatandwalktoacafecounter.
