1.答案：A
解析：根据文章前面的表示，作者从Luxor坐火车去Cairo旅游可知在凌晨1点，作者到达(reach)了目的地Cairo。

2.答案：C
解析：根据下文的“a couple of fast food restaurants would be open there〞可以判断出，作者饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为C项。

3.答案：B
解析：由于作者以前去过Cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。

let down“使失望，放下〞，get down“记下，写下〞，put down“记下〞，均不符合语境。

4.答案：D
解析：出租车把作者放在了Hardee's对面的街道。

短语drop sb.off意思是“中途卸客〞，符合语境。

5. 答案：D
解析：作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。

6.答案：C
解析：根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。

7.答案：B
解析：根据空线前后的内容，可以知道这里是并列的关系，作者作为一个经常旅游的人，又在埃与生活过一年，很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又〞。

apart from“除了……外〞，in favour of“赞成〞，in return for“作为对……的回报〞，均与语境不符。

8.答案：C
解析：根据语境，可以知道作者对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。

9.答案：D
解析：根据语境可知，作者为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。

surprised“吃惊的〞，re gretted“遗憾的〞，appointed“约定的〞，不符合语境。

10.答案：A
解析：根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys〞可以知道，这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。

11.答案：A
解析：根据语境可知，作者为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。

demand“强烈要求〞，request“要求，请求〞，deserve“值得〞，不符合语境。

12.答案：B
解析：汉堡包准备好时，作者走到外边(outside)，邀请孩子们和他一起吃饭。

13.答案：C
解析：孩子们听到作者的邀请，发出了令人惊讶的喊声：“不，我们不应待在这样的好地方！〞。

14. 答案：A
解析：根据下文的意思可知，作者没能(unable)说服那两个孩子进来。

15.答案：B
解析：根据上文可知作者把买来的食物(food)带出了餐馆。

16. 答案：A
解析：当那两个孩子拿到食物后，不断地祈祷安拉保佑作者。

只有A项符合文章。

17. 答案：B
解析：这里作者要告诉我们原因(why)，作者为什么一直为那两个埃与孩子祈祷。

18. 答案：C
解析：根据上文的“praying that Al lah would always bless me〞可知，作者也这样祈祷着。

19. 答案：D
解析：表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点……
20.答案：A
解析：虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。
