Things started to change for me 35 . I had a home, a backyard for my daughter, and plenty of food, and I started to 36 myself out of debt.

解析
试题分析：本文讲述的是我之前给穷人很多钱，但是后来在自己的经济情况发生变化以后就不再施舍别人。不过后来发生的一件事情让我改变了自己的看法，让我认为帮助别人仍然是我们应该做的事情。
31. C。上下文串联。从上文我给穷人很多钱说明我很同情他们。feel sorry for sb.为(某人)难过；同情(某人)。
32. D。上下文串联。从第41空后面的out of debt可以推断此处选A。
33. B。上下文串联。从前面一句中所讲的“我”没有了家、负债、几乎没有收入可以推断后来“我”“停止”给路边的人钱了。
34. B。“我”以前经常给路边的人钱，但后来“我”没有了家、负债、几乎没有收入，因此变得“愤愤不平的(bitter)”。
40.A 形容词辨析。从接下来的描述指可以看出情况在“慢慢”改善。
41.B 动词辨析。用动词pull显示出我偿还债务的艰难。
42.B 上下文串联。根据will work for food说明是打着“牌子”来说明自己的目的。
43.C 我无意帮助那些人，使用用pass by（经过）能恰当地表示我的心理状态。
44.C 名词辨析。A危险B爱C需要D悲哀；固定搭配。In need需要帮助，说明我当时处于困境之中，需要别人的帮助。
45.D 上下文串联。根据bad things可以判断这里是指不好的事情，用smoking正确。
46.C 连词辨析。但是恰好那里有77美分。这里表示的是转折关系。
47.C 短语辨析。Pick up是指开车接某人。Bring up抚养；carry out执行；take out取出，拿出；
48.B 上下文串联。本句话是指“在我内心深处”所以使用介词inside。
49.A 动词辨析。A摇；B推C吹D拿走；roll down my window摇下车窗。
50.A 固定搭配。reach into my ashtray把手伸进烟灰缸里。
46. C。动词辨析。A躲藏B站立C坐D睡觉。sit在这里的意思是“坐落在，被放在”。
47. A。固定搭配。burst out突然激动地喊叫。B出现C出发D站立；burst out with joy开心地大叫。
48. C。上下文串联“我”的帮助使得被帮助者“有可能”在圣诞节回家看望母亲。
49. D。从上下文内容可排除C、D两项；对于一个需要接济的人来说, 坐飞机的可能性并不大, 况且“我”给他的钱也很少。故选B项。
50. B。上下文串联。与后面的won’t forget对应。
点评：本文讲述的是我之前给穷人很多钱，但是后来在自己的经济情况发生变化以后就不再施舍别人。不过后来发生的一件事情让我改变了自己的看法，让我认为帮助别人仍然是我们应该做的事情。本篇完形设空科学合理，考生很容易从中领会大意，从而下手会比较顺利，从选项中可以看出，本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用，但更加注重综合语言能力的运用，需要根据故事情节，了解词汇用法的同时，结合语境，做出准确的判断。 |

Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy"s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.

Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1992 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.”

There is an old story about an army of frogs that went jumping through the forest one day when two of them suddenly fell into a deep 1 . All of the other frogs gathered around to look 2 at their two fallen friends. They all began to 3 shake their heads and croak out warnings. “It’s too deep!”said one frog. Another said that there was no 4 they would ever be able to get out 5 .
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they 6 to get out, but the frogs that were 7 kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop 8 they were as good as dead and just 9 their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up, 10 their advice and died.
The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever 11 all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs around the top of the hole. They kept croaking at him to 12 jumping and save himself from all the 13 and suffering as he jumped and fell back down to the bottom 14 .
Finally, to the 15 of all the other frogs, he jumped right out of the deep hole.
