【解析】

文章大意：短文主要讲了作者和丈夫去看望住在纽约的儿子，在路上遇到一个无家可归的人Frank，作者的丈夫立即把手套和帽子送给他保暖，儿子也把新买的外套送给他，后来儿子还主动帮助那些有需要的人。

1.

句意：去年冬天，我和丈夫去看望了他。

visited拜访、看望；protected保护；noticed注意；memorized记忆。根据上文My son lived in New York. 我儿子住在纽约。结合Last winter my husband and I __1__ him there. 可知，作者和丈夫一起去纽约看望儿子，根据时间状语last winter，句子用一般过去时，所以空格处填visited，故答案选A。

2.

句意：我儿子去了一家商店，想看看是否有一件他想要的外套。

which哪个；if是否；why为什么；how怎样。根据my son went to a store to see __2__ there was a coat he wanted. 儿子去了一家商店，可知是想看看是否有一件他想要的外套，对应下面提到儿子把新买的外套给Frank，所缺的词是if，故答案选B。

3.

句意：当我出来的时候，我丈夫正在和一个无家可归的人说话。

careless粗心的；hopeless没有希望的；helpless无助的；homeless无家可归的。根据下文…pass them to Frank , the homeless man.可知是作者的丈夫正在和一个无家可归的人说话，故答案选D。

4.

句意：我看见我丈夫脱下手套和帽子，递给无家可归的弗兰克。

get off下车；turn off关闭；take off脱掉；go off走开。根据后面的pass them to Frank , the homeless man. 把它们递给了无家可归的Frank，应该是作者看到丈夫“脱掉”他的手套和帽子，这样才能给弗兰克，故答案选C。

5.

句意：他在暴风雨中失去了家，所以他没有地方睡觉。

coat外套；key钥匙；home家；food食物。根据下文so he had no place to sleep. 没有地方睡觉，可知是他在暴风雨中失去了家，所以空格处填home，故答案选C。

6.

句意：他在乞讨，试图得到25美元，以便找到一个便宜的旅馆，他可以睡几个小时。

hospital医院；shop商店；office办公室；hotel旅馆。根据下文where he could sleep for some hours. 可推断，他努力要乞讨到25美元，为的是能找一个他可以睡几个小时的地方，也就是一个便宜“旅馆”，故所缺的词是hotel，故答案选D。

7.

句意：他唯一能保暖的只有一件夹克。

clean干净的；brave勇敢的；warm暖和的；fair公平的。根据前文Frank , the homeless man.及空格后a jacket，可知，对于一个无家可归的人来说，唯一的一件夹克衫应是用来保暖的，所以空格处填warm，故答案选C。

8.

句意：他说他当然会保留它。

certainly当然、一定；suddenly突然地；patiently耐心地；politely礼貌地。根据下文I told him the story and suggested leaving it to Frank我告诉他这个故事，并建议他把旧的外套留给弗兰克，可知，作者问儿子如何处理这件旧外套时，儿子认为当然是要保留，但是作者把弗兰克的故事告诉了儿子，建议儿子能把旧的外套留给弗兰克，所以空格处填certainly，故答案选A。

9.

句意：令我们大为吃惊的是，我儿子走到弗兰克面前，把新外套给了他。

On在……上面；To到、朝；With和……一起；For为了。根据语境可知是令我们感到惊讶的是，我的儿子向Frank走过去并把新的外套给了他，to one’s surprise是固定搭配，意为“令某人惊讶的是”，故答案选B。

10.

句意：令我们大为吃惊的是，我儿子走到弗兰克面前，把新外套给了他。

returned返回；connected连接；gave给；sent发送。根据my son walked up to Frank and___10___ the new coat to him.Frank asked, 儿子走向Frank，把那件新外套“给”了他，故所缺的词是gave，give sth to sb是固定搭配，意为“把某物给某人”，表述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，故答案选C。

11.

句意：但他想让弗兰克拥有它。

it它；him他；her她；them他们。根据My son said no, but he wanted Frank to have__11__.儿子说不是，但他想要Frank拥有“它（那件新外套）”，故所缺的词是it，指代前文提到的coat，故答案选A。

12.

句意：弗兰克站在那里，手里拿着外套，眼里有些湿润了。

making制造；washing洗；selling卖；holding拿着。根据上文my son walked up to Frank and gave the new coat to him.可知，作者的儿子把新买的外套给了弗兰克，所以此空处是“弗兰克拿着外套站在那里”，所以空格处填现在分词holding作伴随状语，故答案选D。

13.

句意：他真心地感谢我们。

thanked感谢；introduced介绍；taught教；pushed推。根据上文可知作者的儿子把新买的外套给了弗兰克，结合He__13__us with his whole heart. 可推断，他真心真意地“感谢”了我们，故所缺的词是thanked，故答案选A。

14.

句意：他说他会尽快找份工作来养活自己。

often经常；soon很快；long长；far远。根据He said he would try to find a job as__14__ as possible to support himself. 他说他会努力尽快找一份工作养活自己，as soon as possible意为“尽快”，为固定搭配，故答案选B。

15.

句意：他回到家，拿出所有不合身的衣服，把它们寄到收容所。

hurt伤害；fit适合；change改变；improve提高。根据下文posted them to a shelter. 可知，是找出不适合他的衣服，然后将这些衣服寄给避难所，所以空格处填fit，故答案选B。
