【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个靠拉小提琴谋生的年轻人一次在中年男人不小心把价值50万的奖券丢在他的帽子里后，没有占为己有，而是写个公示让中年男人来认领，虽然他不富有，但是他拥有诚实的品质。

1.句意：许多人把钱放在他面前的帽子里。

lying平放，处于，位于；sleeping睡觉；bowing鞠躬；dropping落下。根据后文“put his hat on the ground”可知，帽子是放在地上的，所以用lying，表示帽子放在他身前的地上。故选A。

2.句意：第二天，年轻人再次来到火车站门口。

不填；a一个； an一个；the这个。此处指上文提到过的那个年轻人，需要特指，用the。故选D。

3.句意：但是不同于过去所做的。

far from远远不；similar to相似于……；different from不同于；same as与……一致。根据后文“he took out a large … soon, Mr. Sand."”可知，这次年轻人还多写了一张纸，这跟以往不一样。故选C。

4.句意：大约半个小时后，一个中年男人匆忙地跑向年轻人。

slowly缓慢地；in a hurry匆忙地；strongly强壮地；sleepily疲倦地，想睡地。根据后文“The prize of the lottery ticket was $ 500, 000”可知，中年男人丢的奖券值50万美金，丢掉了应该会很着急。所以匆忙赶到年轻人那里。故选B。

5.句意：我知道你是个诚实的男人，一定会来这里。

hide藏；come来；flee释放；leave离开。根据上文“The next day… the railway station again”可知，年轻人再次来到火车站。故选B。

6.句意：昨天，当中年男人知道他赢得了50万美元。

lost丢了；won赢得；fell摔倒；chased追赶。根据后文“he was very happy”可知，那时他刚知道自己中大奖，还没有丢奖券。故选B。

7.句意：可是，奖券也丢在里面了。

filled填满；pulled 吸引；kicked踢；thrown丢。根据上文“He took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat.”可知，他丢50美元到帽子里，所以奖券是和钱一起丢进去的了，throw in投入。故选D。

8.句意：之后，有人问年轻人，“你每天在火车站拉小提琴谋生…”

play拉，弹奏；sell卖；buy买；repair修理。根据上文“a poor young man…playing his violin.”可知，他是拉小提琴的。故选A。

9.句意：虽然我没有赚多少钱，但是我过得很开心。

sadly悲伤地；happily开心地；normally正常地；lively精力充沛的。根据后文“I won't be happy forever”在失去诚信之后，他会不开心，那么没有失去诚信时，他是开心的。故选B。

10.句意：但是失去诚信，我将永远不开心。

job工作；pleasure 乐趣；honesty诚信；purse钱包。根据上文“I know that you're an honest man”以及整个故事，可知，年轻人没有把奖券占为己有，是一个诚实守信的人。故选C。
